I realized something today. The internet has been put here for ME to connect with YOU. Therefore, on account of how incredibly interesting my life is, I’m going to begin to share every thought, feeling, reflection, and motivation with you from now on.

Do YOU know what that means?

Neither do I, but I’m pretty sure millions of years from now extraterrestral life will stumble upon my archives and realize what an awesome life I had! I promise to blog/tweet/instagram/facebook harder than anyone has ever before! I am gonna fuck SOCIAL MEDIA in the ASS.

NO, this is not incredibly narcicistic. Don’t you get it? Its my DUTY to all my followers out there (whoever the fuck you are). All the people sitting in front of computer screens killing time in between, eating, shitting, making out with their girlfriend, and whatever other purpose they have discovered their lives to have.

AND WE ARE SO LUCKY. The internet exists!

THIS IS MY COMMITMENT TO YOU.

You don’t even have to thank me.

Honestly, after spending much time in Vancouver snacking and dining in between studio days, we’ve come to the conclusion that pho is the way to go!  just finished a bowl with Daniel… ughhh

Doesn’t this look simply delicious?  :)

pho

By the way, I discovered a blog dedicated to pho today…  check it at:  www.phofever.com     Here’s some history I pulled from the site for shits and giggles…   pEacccc

The Origins of Phở

Phở was born in Northern Vietnam during the mid-1880s. The dish was heavily influenced by both Chinese and French cooking. Rice noodle and spices were imported from China; the French popularized the eating of red meat. In fact, it is believed that “phở” is derived from “pot au feu” a French soup. Vietnamese cooks blended the Chinese, French and native influences to make a dish that is uniquely Vietnamese.

From North to South
The popularity of pho spread southwards starting in 1954 when the country was divided into North and South Vietnam. As the dish moved south, cooks infused it with additional ingredients until it evolved into the version that is commonly served today.

Regional Pho Variations
The origins of pho as a Northern dish that spread South explains the key differences between the Northern and Southern variations. Northern style pho tends to be simpler and is made with less ingredients. There are fewer cuts of meat and small slices of ginger are laid on top of the soup. The pho is served without bean sprouts or herbs. Instead, it is accompanied by green chilies and lime only. Southern style pho is a complex dish made from a dozen ingredients. Bean sprouts, fresh basil and saw herb are typically served with each bowl. As with the Northern style pho, green chilies and lime are used as condiments.

Pho in the United States
Refugees fleeing Vietnam in the Spring of 1975 brought with them their hopes and dreams of a better life. They also brought their cultures and cuisine, of which pho has become the most popular among Americans. Today there are more than 1000 pho restaurants spread across the United States. One typically finds Southern style pho served although a few outlets also serve Northern style pho. Typical establishments sell pho and other Vietnamese dishes like goi cuon (spring rolls) and cha gio (eggrolls).

Our friend Mike D sent us this info today…   What a great new hobby!   annndd… as we happen to have avocados kicking around in the studio, we’ll just have to give it a shot!  Oh! A hilarious/great (depending on how you perceive the kid in the vid)  video concerning this topic can be found here:

Well it’s time to give the car a rest for the day and head down to Commercial drive – can’t beat walking around in the streets eating ethnic food and listening to a storm of drummers slam away in the hot sun.  We’ll probably hit up a couple block parties as well, but for more details, go here:  http://www.carfreevancouver.org/
