tet tet tet tet den roi

hello there,

Tet, or lunar new year, is approaching! like usual, my parents are making banh trung and buying hoa lan. Tet, in Vietnam, is the happiest day and it can last the entire week. Many people spend their entire week taking work off just to celebrate and enjoy being with friends and family. With that being said, it isn't very much like that in the United States of America. The clock here, somehow, ticks faster and work is more demanded. Thus, most people can hardly celebrate for 1 day.

I wish to learn how to make banh trung from my parents so that I can retain our tradition and culture here in the land where time flies and clocks run.

Fettuccine Alfredo

it's been a while since we last cook together. this time, our original intention was to make sushi ( or least attempt to make sushi ). But that all change when we went to costco. Why? Because the amount of salmon and/or tuna they offered was just too much. So we decided to grab some meatballs and sausages (for next time) to make some pasta. In the past, I was always the one to cook for Andy and Thu. But this time, Andy took the leading role and made some pretty good fettucine alfredo.
