at our time together last Monday, it was lovely to have everyone in the room, with no technology required…

amongst our conversations, we talked about our favourite pho restaurants… it is always great to hear about spots that others recommend…

later my grandson and I worked away on the garage project even though it was rather cold out, lol…

when we came in, with frozen fingers, the pho we’d talked about earlier called to me;-)…

those delivery apps are very handy, lol…

it was just what those cold fingers needed;-)…

Wednesday was Canada Takeout day and I decided to support Pho Hoang, a local restaurant which always produces delicious food…

I used a different app than normal, which appears to make sure that all the money goes to the restaurant…

whenever I order I try to get enough for at least a couple of meals…

this time I got 3 different things… the pho soup is always enough for two meals…

I also got shrimp garden rolls which I had for my supper as they are best when eaten fresh… finally I ordered sweet potato and shrimp crepes… I had a couple with the rolls;-)…

my dinner was delicious…

since then I’ve had pho for two meals as well as enjoying the sweet potato and shrimp crepes for a breakfast…

tonight, after aquasize we went out for pho…

our favourite place, Pho Hoang, is just a few blocks from the Cindy Klassen Recreation Centre where we swim… we try to get there a few times over the winter but this was our first visit this season…

started with sweet potato and shrimp crepes… 

the crepe is a lettuce leaf… it was delicious and I will certainly order it again…

this restaurant is on my SkipTheDishes list so I’m quite excited to have another item to order from them… I love sweet potatoes and pairing them with shrimp and deep frying them is very clever… and that lettuce makes them a healthier choice for me to eat…

we also shared prawn tempura with a tasty sweet chili dip…

they were delicious as well…

the main course was #16 – rare steak and flank pho… my go-to;-)…

the mint and bean sprouts finish it nicely… can’t see the rice noodles in the bottom of the bowl, but they were yummy…

I don’t think I’ve ever finished the whole bowl and tonight was no exception… but I did eat more than half, lol… 

then they packed up the leftovers for me to take home…

lunch tomorrow…

what a wonderful treat and great time together… special moments…

great fun to turn the page on my Chihuly calendar this morning… so happy I was able to get a 2016 one…

  
every picture reminds me of the amazing visit we had to Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle…

this morning it was very light and I took a few pictures of the fish through the glass…

  
they kind of posed for the photo…

ended the day with some fabulous pho that we picked up after aquasize…

  
it was delicious… and a lovely treat… 

was very good all day to be sure I could manage the special meal…

exercise…

tonight I went to aquasize for the first time in ages…

was a bit worried whether I would make it through the class without becoming exhausted, but made it through no problem…

reminded me of yoga… just last week I was realizing how much better I have become… we did a pose that a year ago I was only able to hold for a few seconds and I can now do it as long as everyone else… sometimes you don’t realize how you are improving…

was great to spend some time with my friend as well… we are hoping to get back to a regular schedule when she is in the city…

happily we got to go out for pho after swimming… I was very happy about this as I hadn’t organized anything for my supper…

hope I still feel great tomorrow, lol…
