I made him some comfort beef #pho for lunch.
Planning on making some faux-pho from @teruterubozu 's Seitan BBQ from yesterday.
I have most of the ingredients so a small shopping trip for some fresh vegies is in order. Anyone else want anything while I'm there?
I made two pans & this is what's left after feeding my family. Chả Cua Trứng Hấp - #Vietnamese Egg & Crab #meatloaf.
You can eat it by itself. I eat it in a big bowl, with jasmine rice, pickled daikon/pickled carrots/cucumbers/Thai mint(all minced because I can't chew ATM) & nuoc cham sauce poured over everything.
I was at hospital getting IV antibiotics yesterday for several hours. I got an infection from my gums bleeding out & it spread quickly. I needed strong antibiotics IV treatment; the amoxicillin pills weren't effective enough.
I had to take today & tomorrow off work to recover - unable to talk ATM. I'll be updating more this afternoon, with some new photos & my dentures fundraiser - 2 small donations came in since last update
My morning tasks today -> Call some clients, talk to my substitute workers to confirm all schedules/client notes were received & organize family prescription pickups with a friend who is helping me out with personal errands on her day off.
Early morning, I made some Chả Cua Trứng Hấp - #Vietnamese Egg & Crab meatloaf. I can't have any of it until tonight or tomorrow - when my mouth isn't in as much pain.
I only use real crab meat & consider it sacrilege to use fake crab meat because the flavours are not the same at all. Fake crab meat doesn't even taste anything like real crab. Even canned real crab meat is better than that plastic looking & gross tasting fake crab meat. I wouldn't bother making this dish if you can't get real crab meat.
Here's a recipe to try out:

I'm now with my 3rd client of the day. He's also from Saigon, Vietnam but from a different district than where my Dad's family lived/worked before we were bombed 3 times in Cholon (District 5). He's from District 8 & fled from Vietnam via escaping through river canals into Laos & then into Thailand. His family fled during the last China-Vietnam war in 1979.
We're talking about missing our birthplaces. Missing our family still stuck overseas. Missing all of our foods & cultures too. The diaspora life is far from the lives our families had before displacements from wars.
It is really nice to chat with this client because of our similar shared backgrounds.
