Burger and Chili Cheese Fries

Nhat and I went snowboarding on Sunday and didn't want to spend our life savings on a burger at the restaurant so we went home, spent about 14 bucks on items at the grocery store, and made ourselves chili cheese fries and burgers. We made four burgers and a big plate of chili cheese fries for under $20. We probably saved $100 bucks, no joke.

Hello Again.

Welcome back! It's been an eventful and busy two weeks, but now here I am, back to work and back to my routine.  I hope everyone had a happy holidays.  I haven't cooked in two weeks! Last night Nhat and I ate eggrolls that my dad made and packaged for us.  All we had to do was fry them up.  One day I want to try to make eggrolls like my parents'.

On another happy note, I am officially engaged!  Can't wait to start planning and setting the date. He did it on New Years Eve/Morning, right after the countdown, in the comfort of our cozy apartment. It was perfect and so is my ring.  =)  I had the hardest time getting out of bed today.  It's cloudy and rainy and its always hard for me to go back to my routine after the holidays, especially since Nhat is still on vacation.  But I gotta do what I gotta do right?

On second thought I did cook this weekend.  I made Che Chuoi, Warm Banana Coconut Pudding with Tapioca.  I followed a recipe in my go-to Vietnamese cookbook.  The flavor was good, but next time I may cut down the amount of water that was called for.  Please please PLLLLEEASSE let work go by fast today.
