the other day I cut up a sweet potato that was starting to sprout and put the pieces into yogurt containers with water…
then I moved them to the dining room window to encourage them to get growing…
I wasn’t going to start anything for the garden ahead of time but there you go…
just possibly I may have started some ivy for outside, lol…

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…
