Had pho today. The actual word for the phood has a little squiggle on the "o" and is pronounced "fuh?", with inflection like a question. My pho pheatured a phlotilla of onions. Afterwards, I was completely phull o pho, post pheast phatigued and on the sopha. Normally I'm not a big fan of onions, but they complement the kind of savory taste of pho broth well. Just thinking of it makes me want more. 7 hours later, I had a subway sandwich, bland and sad (and more expensive than my whole pho meal) in comparison. I wonder if I can order a canister of pho to go. It's good for colds, too. I can think of nothing better when sick than pho delivery. I wonder if it exists. ePho? Aw cripes, the party economy is over. The only people left working are boring non-raver types like me and Brett who make billing systems. No room for online pho ordering with phree delivery.

I didn't really try pho until the middle of last year. I had been avoiding it (a little. not running in terror) with the same vague nonreasoning that keeps me away from Thai restaurants - one or two bad experiences with similiar food, a while back. In the case of pho, I was expecting it to be a bean sprouty oniony mess. It turns out, it kind of is, but the bean sprouts are completely optional at every pho place I've tried, and the onions are avoidable to, though I've even come to like those. I avoid Thai restaurants because of bean sprouts, when you really get down to it. I must really hate bean sprouts. That fucks up my whole asian-dining experience, since it seems most places use sprouts as cheap substantive filler in a dish of noodles or meat. Stupid bean sprouts. I saw the way noodles are served at the noodle place in westlake: a huge pile of sprouts is laid down, then quickly covered with whatever noodle dish you ordered. The sprouts are not visible once the dish is served, they add no quality to the flavor of the meal. Their only purpose is to make it look like you're getting your money's worth of noodles. Stupid cost cutting measures. I'll get over this bean sprout thing someday. I'm sure their great for you, or at least harmless. At least I'm not disgusted by eggs, which are in everything.
