That says it all, right??? Well, that ain’t enough to meet the high (or low depending on your perspective) quality of posts set by Team Starry Kitchen and our “R&D” department. So I’m going to keep on typing some more interesting and useful fluff for you, our reader(s), to consume, digest and dispense in coversation next to the watercooler (or Xerox machine) tomorrow while discussing what you are going to do this weekend. I’m personally going re-enact the Civil War in the AM (“How To” HERE), traveling back in time to retrieve that $5 my friend “Pudge” owed me back in Jr. High and then come back to the present to buy some “yum yum stick it in my VEINS” Auntie Ems red velvet cupcakes with that $5. “All in a days work ma’am.” How about you?
FRIENDLY DIN-DIN TIME!
SO, above is a classic Vietnamese comfort food dish “bo kho” (Vietnamese beef stew), jap chae (Korean glass noodles) and some yummy lemon grass pork. That pork combined with rice, could POSSIBLY catalyze world peace or inspire large Bollywood-riffic dance routines with people… it’s pretty taste-tacular.
We (meaning Thi) can take credit for the bo kho and jap chae, but our friend, countryman and virgin Tweeter (he’s about to pop his Twitter cherry soon, I’m SO EXCITED)- Quan Phung, can take all the credit he wants for the ribs. “He puts the ‘Phung’ in Funny!” Not my quote, someone elses, but I do like how that looks in print. Simply SASSY! ^^ “Did somebody say… SASSY?”
Here are our fabulous hosts, Quan and his lovely wife, Michelle Ko posing with Chef Thi Tran. I can tell you this- when foodies combine forces…. it’s a beautiful thing. Stories, cuisine, recipes, restaurants and food blogs. Oh man, it’s sensational sensory OVERLOAD!!! Give me a moment, this beautiful union is almost too much that I’m getting all verklempt just thinking about it. (sniff sniff)

Okay, I’m fine now. WHEW! You thought you had me didn’t you Chuck Norris? “HA” I say. Don’t mistake my love for food, and compassion for the ingredients that make up these magical meals as a weakness… ‘cuz it AIN’T. But you’ll never understand Mr Texas Ranger Man!!!
CHICKEN DELIGHT
On a final note, Chef Thi has already chosen the “ONE” chicken dish we’re serving this weekend, but she’s been OBSESSED with all things CHICKEN!!! Below is ANOTHER chicken dish she concocted. Will this madness end? Prolly not. Do I want it to? HELL NAW - this sh-t is GOOOOOOOOOD! I likes it a WHOLE LOT. You know what Ol’ Captain Jack Sparrow would say, “YOU CAN DO IT!” (he’s a big Rob Schneider fan… I SWEAR!)
