Lived the dream today - ate lunch at the Lunch Lady. Many thanks to gastronomyblog.com and Bourdain, who helped put this incredible lunch spot on the international foodie map. They have written about it much more eloquently than I will, but that's okay, as this again was an experience that I really just wanted for myself (we forgot to bring a camera, and that's okay, too). Long story short: the most delicious fresh spring rolls in real-ass hoisin sauce, followed by the best bun bo Hue, beef tenderized by pineapple, with pork forcemeats and fresh banana flowers. I was smiling like an idiot the whole time, from the moment she came up behind us and smiled, showing us the way to her tables, right on until we left to decompress in the Cucko's Nest cafe (nice wooden treefort). She looked just like the lady on TV. She IS the lady on TV!
I need to get to the airport at 4 am Saturday morning, so I think I'm heading to the 24 hour Boston Sports Bar down the road to wait out the weird pre-morning. I'll be home sometime around 8 pm, making a cup of coffee, and starting storytime with the family.
Well, this blog has been fun. I don't feel particularly talented at blogging, but I've also been too tired to make it count as of late. I hope you follow me in a new blog of sorts, where I'll be building kegerators, brewing beer, making mass quantities of food for my late nite college snack stand, and working with organic foods and farmers. Check back here for a link, or on Facebook. And of course, pictures up in a bit.
Vietnam was great. I'll probably come back. Now, though, I want me some hearty Massachusetts and green New York.
Bye!
