This was such a fun read. It was filled with so much drama and humor. Reading this really gives you a fresh take on family drama. I strongly recommend reading this book.

#HaikuHive

Now I‘m caught up with #HaikuADay ! Today‘s is inspired by the Lemongrass Chicken Bánh Mi sandwich I ate for lunch yesterday after a training. We totally stunk up the conference room but it was so worth it—I‘m still thinking about its perfection!

Best bites tend to be
Messy, smelly, glorious,
Bánh mì haunts my dreams

JenlovesJT47 Man this looks delicious!! 💛🐝🖤 2mo

#HaikuADay

All the work bustle & travel lately & I‘ve caught a cold. Stopped for a bowl of Phở yesterday which inspired this haiku:

Ode to Phở

Steam lifts from the broth
Cold‘s healer, soother of souls
Solace in a bowl

LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT! Recognizing and accepting queer identity in the face of contentious cultural norms, fleshing out immigrant experience so that while the unique and possibly painful experience of immigration is not ignored, it doesn't try to be a monolith or fall into tropes, doesn't need to form the backbone of the story, interweaving fairy tales, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 in all their grimness and whimsy, absolutely gorgeous fantasy dress designs, a beautiful mother and son relationship, the author notes at the back, discussing language and fashion and his own experiences growing up. UGH, I LOVE IT!

I love Vietnamese food, and this book is fantastic! Dặc Biệt means: extra special.  So if you order a Banh Mi, and you ask for it to be a Dặc Biệt Banh Mi...it just means you are getting all the good stuff on it! I took some pictures of a few recipes from the pages…everything looks so good.

The stories include six soldiers, one military nurse, and a refugee. This book also includes stories from what was happening back in America as the war was fought. This book captures the intensity, hardships, and impacts of the Vietnam War.
