I just thought I do a quick post with some updates…and other "stuff".
Thien Thanh Closes Down:
Thien Thanh, one of my favorite Vietnamese Restaurants has closed. Last week, I decided to check out Thien Thanh, when I drove into the parking lot, the restaurant was closed, and an "opening soon" banner was posted. I guess this was inevitable. We never saw more than one table occupied on any of our many visits.
The name of the new restaurant will obviously garner many laughs….and hey, maybe Pho-King needs to check out possible trademark infringement??????
RIP Thien Thanh, we’ll miss you….especially the Bun Cha Hanoi.
Some Housekeeping:
I recently received two emails asking if I would link to all of my recipes from the main page.
Apparently, scrolling through all of my recipes looking for the desired post was inefficient, and I’ve been told that the Google Search doesn’t always work right. So I’ve summarized my recipes on the bottom left hand sidebar. I hope it works okay….but who the heck want to copy what I cook?
Heck, so long that it makes you happy, I’ll do it…. we aim to please!
Not really about food, sort of….
Now for some mid week levity, it’s really not about food…..
A few years back, when we still lived in LA, we were attending a concert at a small club called The Hop in the City of Industry. The opening act was a Country Rock band playing a bunch of covers. During one of the songs, a cover of Can’t You See, by the Marshall Tucker Band, the Missus turns to me with a puzzled look on Her face and asks me,"What kind of music is this?"
"It’s Southern Rock." I answer….
A look of understanding comes across Her face, and she exclaims, "Okay, that makes sense now!"
Now I’m confused…"What do you mean?"
She responds with, "that’s why they’re singing about fried chicken!"
"Say What!!!"
It turns out that I’m hearing, "Can’t you see, can’t you see, what that woman lord done to me…."
She, on the other hand is hearing this(here’s a hint):
Yes, She’s hearing…."K-F-Ceeeee, K-F-Ceeee"
Shades of "Sam Woo the Killer Whale"……funny, I can’t help but crack up anytime I hear that darn song!
Hope your week is going well! We’ll be back with another restaurant tomorrow!
