The demonstration was a success this past Sunday. Thank you all who participated. Everyone had a great time and learned something new. There were familiar faces as well as new faces. We had participants as young as 8 years old (not including my daughter who is 7) WOW!!!

I had a wonderful time sharing what I know and learned over the years about Vietnamese food and the culture.  For more tips, visits http://phoQueenCooking.com and http://EasyVietnameseRecipes.com.  If you have tips, suggestions, or comments, please email me at ha@haroda.com or enter comments on the website: http://phoQueenCooking.com.  I would love to published your thoughts and/or tips.

It was priceless watching my kids barter among themselves. My 9 yr old son, Zephyr, successfully persuaded my 7 yr old daughter, Thaleia, in paying $14 toward a $15 Pokeman trading card package while my son paid $1. Eventually, my husband stepped in and balanced out the monitary scenario.  Does this sound familiar??? (hee hee hee...)

Zephyr decided to make his own money to buy his own Pokeman trading cards and fundraise for gymnastic competition expenses (that's my input). Once again, he persuaded Thaleia to go into business with him. Last Sunday, a lemonade stand was opened for business. It was opened briefly for less than 30 minutes. Florida summer rain floated us back into the house for the rest of the afternoon. Regardless, Zephyr & Thaleia tasted partial success with the lemonade stand. They are planning another sale next weekend. It was the birth of my kids very first business transaction. Yay! Looking forward to see how their business shape up in the near future! The experience is PRICELESS.

Pho Queen --

Where did the time go??? My kids last day of school is tomorrow (Wednesday, June 9, 2010).

I have been busy helping the Census Bureau of Orlando and meeting different interesting people  the last few months. Knocking on door is not easy work. It takes a lot of character to be the travelling sales people.

Summer is here, keep your body, mind, and spirit ALIVE!!!
Come and learn the secrets of making your very own Vietnamese springroll. 

It is a hands-on demonstration so everyone will get an opportunity to roll
