Sofía
yelled “sorpresa Papi” when he came
down the stairs and saw all the food we had catered from local VietnameseRestaurantes. She was so excited to
celebrate her Papi’s cumpleaños AND
play with her amigas!
Although
I forgot to take pictures of the Vietnames Cuisine, I do need to mention
it. One of the many, many things I first
loved about my esposo is that he was
and is so open to trying new cuisines and makes variety a constant in his and
our meals; it is not that he is only “trying” as he is adopting the cuisine as
part of his weekly menu (if that makes any sense!) So we really try to make sure that Sofía is
exposed to a variety of fare: Indian,
Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Pilipino, and Greek to just name a few. Bueno,
she is more than exposed to it as we eat them on a regular basis. But this is easy for us…..our area of la USA is one of the more diverse in the
country and if we weren’t surround by so many cultures, it would be a little
more difícil!
Hopefully
it will pay off in the long run and Sofía will develop a well-groomed pallet
and learn to appreciate how important food is to language and culture.
Our
dessert however, was not Vietnamita.
Sofía and I made Papi’s favorite---ChocoFlan! Yes, that topping is real arequipe!
Our
amigos brought mi esposo a little regalo that pretty much expresses the
general consensus’ sentiments: 40 Sucks!
Do you want to know why the bouquet looks so sparse? Just guess where all those &^*#*&^%
chupetes
have gone!!!
Yum, looks delicious! How about the recipe?!
