Me enjoying some phở at Marian Days
I am a big fan of Phở. Not sure what all is in it… probably best not to ask. Last year I had Phở Gà, this year I went with the chín (beef) version. It was splendid and very herbally, maybe from the fresh cilantro, basil, sprouts and jalapenos. Either way, I’m all about the Phở.
I think some of my friends, such as Grant would like eating at Marian Days. Colby on the other hand, would probably not.
Here is the stand where I got some Mango Boba… which was splendid. Across the way was a fruit stand selling all kinds of weird things including Jackfruit and my favorite, Lychee.
I am not sure what was going on here, but this event is actually a catholic gathering. It was pretty cool.
After the candle march they had some songs and stuff, maybe a mass or worship service. I will admit I am fairly ignorant on the ways of Catholicism.
I wanted to come, but had a house full of people eating hot dogs for care group. Interesting that people may not want to try asian cuisine because of what it may be, or taste like….but they’ll show up in droves to eat the american hot dog….it’s called a dog, and is cheaply processed meat from where ever on a cow, pig, or any other slaughterable animal. I don’t understand food fears.
Hopefully I’ll be able to join you for the next Marian Days. I helped color concrete at the place the last picture was taken at.
Pho Ga is mainly noodles, chicken, and onions. The second picture is the procession. Third picture doesn’t look like a Mass.
