menu updates and other stuff

Tuesday, we had a night of soul food, oh yes, mac 'n' cheese, fresh tomato and onions, and fried zucchini. I have to say that this was needed for some mental health comfort and just because it tastes so good. Earlier that day, Katie and I checked out some part-time opportunities and found ourselves right next to Pho 38th, so we had to stop in and try! It was the best pho we have had thus far. And to top it off, the fantastic Vietnamese-Pop music and 'authentic' decor set the whole tone. But seriously, if you find yourself in Tacoma and you crave some pho then you should try this place...drinks, 1 appetizer, and 2 entrees for under $20 is hard to beat. After a short food coma break we went to Point Defiance. This is a historic and very scenic spot just northwest of downtown Tacoma which would be an excellent picnic venue.

Wednesday, Katie got the full experience of public transit using to the bus system to get from Tacoma to the University of Washington in Seattle. I stood by to be her on call GPS. It was definitely a warm day here in Tacoma, I was glad to see the sun go down and the breeze to come in. Tonight, we had some delicious Orzo-Stuffed Peppers compliments of our host, Brian, and it pretty much taste like it sounds...delicious!
