My site has recently made it’s way onto Apartment Therapy’s list of friends, so if you’re here because of that, I’d like to say hello, grab a cup of coffee, and hang out.

A minor annoyance: Amazon associates does not like Wordpress, so many many of my posts with AA stuff has come out funky. When I get a chance tonight (yes, I’m going to spend my Friday night blogging and watching Lost DVDs) then I’m going to try and fix it.

If you know me, you know I love to cook. My mom has cooked for years professionally and at home, and it was only when I went to college that I recognized how wonderful my native cuisine is. Vietnamese food is light and fresh. I’s filling and complex. Much like yours truly.I delight in buying Vietnamese cookbooks, although I know how to make many things, it’s always nice to see how other people do it. I can only make my big bowl of pho better, right?

Check out the newest cookbook on my wish list: Into the Vietnamese Kitchen ($23). It’s written by someone who’s past resembles mine. Andrea Nguyen’s mother was the same way: food is a way of life and it trickled down and now Andrea has taken her mother’s recipes and put them in a book.

Lately, I’ve had an obsession with red patent leather flats. Red is the in glam color for the season, and I like hte ppe-toe flat look. My favorites are from Steve Madden, but I went the el cheapo route and got mine from this ebay seller.

I don’t send out snail-mail often, but I get a thrill out of picking stamps. Not sure why, but I do. The Post office has some nifty stamps out this year, and my favorites are the favorite children’s books stamps. One of the stamps has Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse from Alexander and the Wind-up Mouse, one of my favorite book as a kid.
