soft tendon
book tripe

one great such restaurant is Pho Huynh Restaurant located on 3017 Milam. i [...]

sorry i’m going to write only in Japanese today.　　
ヒューストンに越してきてすでに２年、テキサスに越してきてすでに１６年、アメリカに越してきてすでに、22年がたってしまった….　でも、おふくろの味、日本の味、は何年たっても恋しいもん� 。ヒューストンは東洋人も多く、（日本人は５０００人くらいとか）アジア食のスーパーマーケットなんかも多い。けど、やっぱ近所のスーパーが一番便利� よね。
で、近所のスーパーを使って大好物の餃子をどう作るかが問題になってくる。具はニラ以外はこのスーパーで手に入る。（豚のひき肉、にんにく、生姜、白菜、など）でも皮がない。で、たいていは日本食スーパー（大道ってのが家から５０マイル位のとこにある）に行ったとき買い� めしておくの� が、今切らしている。で、昨日、突然餃子が食いたくてたまらなくなってしまった。仕方がないので近所のスーパーにおいてあるワンタンの皮を使ってトライ。

皮が薄いのか、中身が透き通って見える。味は？？？食感はちょっと違うけど具は変わんないからそんなには悪くなく出来た。

さて、米の方は…..　　こない� ケチってアジア系スーパーで安い「ボタン米」ってのを８ドルで買ってきた。やっぱ安い米はまずい。１０ｋｇ入りの袋買っちゃったから等分の間はこれで我慢ですね。

I did it again tonight. One of my favorite food is Vietnamese noodle dish called pho. I go to this place called Pho21 on Bay Area Blvd. quite often. Especially Wednesday evening before church. It is conveniently located between Park & Ride and my church.

I usually order #20 or #21. Vermicelli with BBQ pork is [...]

NO, not me. My buddy JW had his 40th. We surprised him by showing up to his party unannounced.

His wife cooked some MEAN burgers. (some chicken and hotdogs, too) It was thick and very jucy. The meat came from a butcher called “Nemechek” (sp?). My wife used to buy [...]
