Pho

I realize a lot of my posts are centered on food. Oh well. This is one of my favorites. Pho. It's pronounced Fuh, and nothing annoys me more than when a waitress at Enjoy calls it "Ph-o" in an attempt to correct my pronunciation.

So this is a Vietnamese rice noodle soup often served with beef and is often served with basil, lime, bean sprouts, and peppers that are added to the soup. I was first introduced to by my friend Connie back in our high school days. I've been addicted ever since. Just talking about it makes me crave it...

There are quite a few places in the valley to get pho. I often go to Enjoy cuisine because it is so close and delicious, but there are some Thai resturaunts in West Jordan and many resturaunts in West Valley (my favorite being the Green Papaya) that offer pho.

Vaccinations

I think this one goes without saying. If you know me you know I am too big of a wimp to have survived had I been born in any era before now. Modern medicine is miraculous, and I can only hope vaccinations will continue to be developed for diseases that are now prevalent.
