Day Three Hundred and Forty-Seven - I Don't Know

I'm not sure I've mentioned my love for pho here before - but I do love me some pho. We used to go for it a lot more often when we were in school and/or generally more poverty-stricken. I guess we have kinda failed to notice the current economic crisis because we haven't gone back to a more routine pho consumption. But perhaps we should. So, pho is obviously nothing new - what is new is my developing taste for milkshakes. Joseph really enjoys them and I can see how, in theory, they are a good idea. In practice though, I find them too difficult to enjoy - too sweet, too icy, too thick, too filling - I've got a lot of problems with them obviously. But the pho place offers more than your standard McDo type milkshakes so tonight I drank an avocado milkshake. Yes, this was more like a meal than a drink - and perhaps not the best thing ever to combine with the carb-heavy pho.

No photo [due to me still trying to scrounge up the courage to actually take photos of food in restaurants without feeling like everyone is judging me for being a superdork], but it really looked like the slime they used on You Can't Do That On Television. Only thicker. It was really delicious though - lots of obvious avocado flavour, but also with lots of freshness and sweetness [but not too much of the latter]. Joseph was highly skeptical, but even he had to agree that this was a great drink. The only problem is that I also love the Vietnamese tea and coffee - so this results in a total of four drinks @ our table as well as two giant bowls of pho. That's a lot of liquid.
