So... I skipped my challenge today. Yeah, I know it’s only 2 days in. Well, let me tell you this: I’m normal. I’m just getting use to this cooking and being this stay at home wife thing and sometimes you just can't be home to cook! Anyways... my husband had a “footy” (that’s what they call soccer here in London) match indoors in a place by Old Street. I decided I'd be supportive and watch his last game of the season. Afterwards, we went to our favorite Vietnamese Restaurant: Cay Tre on Old Street in East London. Look it up if you are in the area. Fantastic dishes. To get a bit off the topic, I remember I use to pronounce Vietnamese like VietManese. It took 23 years until someone corrected me. I believe it was at my first job in New York City right after colleage asked me what I wanted for lunch. Since then I made a conscious effort or at least try to say it right…Viet-Namese. Like I said in my description "I speak my own language". Anyways, the restaurant we ate at tonight is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I highly recommend it and if you like bun (a traditional Vietnamese dish), I would suggest that you order the Bun Sa with beef. For £7, you can't beat the taste. So good! I'm ready,refreshed and can’t wait for tomorrow’s challenge.
