This Pho-tastic one is for Inna!
I changed my status to 'Casie is having pho for lunch today.' I love, love, love pho. I have it AT LEAST one a week.
Prep time is 15 minutes and cook time is 45 minutes.
What you need:
- Beef Broth:

- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 2-inch stick ginger
- 2 pounds beef bones
- 12 cups water
- 6 star anise
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 pound lean, tender beef
- Noodles:
- 1 16-ounce package dry, flat rice noodles (pho)
- Garnish:
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 10 cilantro sprigs, finely chopped
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 10 sprigs basil
- 10 sprigs fresh cilantro (ngo gai)
- fresh red or green Chile pepper, thinly sliced
- Accompaniments
- lime or lemon quarters
- fish sauce
- hoisin sauce
- hot chili sauce
Broil onion and ginger until they look burned. Using back of cleaver, smash the ginger and set aside.
Wash beef bones, place in a large soup pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil and immediately pour off this "first boiling" water and discard. Add another 12 cups of fresh water and again bring to a boil. Skim off foam. Add the broiled onion and ginger, star anise, salt and sugar. Over medium-low heat, simmer for 30 minutes. Slice raw beef into thin strips and set aside.
Remove bones from broth and strain out vegetables and seasonings. Soak noodles in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain. In a soup pot bring two quarts fresh water to a boil. Add drained noodles and cook seven minutes at a rolling boil, stirring occasionally until noodles are tender.
Rinse noodles under cold running water and set aside.
Return the broth to a boil over high heat.
To serve: Divide noodles among 4 to 6 large individual serving bowls. Arrange thinly sliced raw beef, scallions, onion, and cilantro on top. Pour boiling hot broth to cover noodles and serve immediately. The boiling broth will cook the thin slices of beef. Pho is always accompanied by bean sprouts, basil leaves, cilantro and chili pepper. Serve with lime and lemon quarters, fish sauce, hoisin sauce and hot chili sauce. Serves 4 to 6.

i'd like a ride in a little deuce coupe
Saw these guys looking pretty in the sunshine on the way to work.
When I was little my Dad had a hot rod shop called 'Toys for Boys'. That site is someone else in NSW, Australia but you get it. His shop was B.I. (Before Internet). He made some of the best hot rods around and worked with the now late Boyd Cottington. Dad also worked with the Horton team at Horton Street Rod & Parts in Breslau. Today's sweatshirt features one of Dad's 32's. I'm pretty sure Mum used to wear it.

over capacity!! really?
Today I started following The Toronto Star. Great source of news in real time, however, it would be really great if Canada had mobile updates. I really enjoyed getting the mobile updates of people I chose to follow on my phone. I's a shame that in Canada we are so behind the times in technology as well as style!!

Alicia & 30 Reason's why I'm not eating meat anymore:
I'm not a big fan of animals (as pets). I've never had a dog before. My cat and I broke up years ago, she lives with Dad now. However, just because I don't like animals licking or touching my stuff, doesn't mean I want to eat them instead. I've been considering going vegan for a long time now. I rarely drink milk and grew up lactose intolerant. Alicia Silverstone has a great new ad that was banned in the UK due to her being, um...naked. Its hot! In the spirit of loving hotness and wanting to try this out today is the day I've decided to try vegetarian.
I want to eat better, feel better, and stop supporting cruelty to chickens, pigs, cows, fish, and other animals raised for food. By signing my name, I pledge to explore vegetarianism for at least 30 days.

30 Reasons:
hey yo its cold outside ( a rhyme for you chilly willys)
hey yo, i woke up to sunshine, but the weather's on decline put on my white tights an' pulled 'em up so high
keepin' me so warm and safe from the cold storm
the wind chill is freezin' and my cold's got me sneezin'
wanna stay in my hot bed with my hat on my cold head
don't wanna get frost bite, if i go out i just might
put on my snow shoe, grab a cup of a warm brew
time to huddle together and brace for the weather
its winter in the city but I ain't feelin' shitty
enjoy. stay in. make love ♥

going back to school...cool school.


I checked out their site and it seems they have Friday Night School dance party that looks like fun by the hot babe in the the ad. They way all their stuff written online and offline has gotten my attention for sure. I love the typography of the big 'schoolish' letters and the chalk boards. I think I'll be going back to School.degrassias - what generation?

Turns out that guy did come out of the closet and I still, to this day, have not seen the show. Something totally 'fab' did happen that day; I was given a pair of boots from wardrobe because I didn't bring any heels with me. After we finished shooting for the day I was leaving the set heading to the TTC with this totally hot babe and completely forgot to return the boots. They are amazing and I still wear them. I will not describe them or show pictures in order to endure they remain mine. (imagine cheeky smile)
black and white and red all over
There's three more cases of Swine Flu in the GTA. Mild, but still crazy. I don't like pigs. They gross me out. I'm glad I never went to Mexico, I don't think I will ever go now. Not really into dying, there's lots of other nice beaches that aren't deadly.
I love this spot in the afternoon. The sun shines so very bright. I just got a cheque for retro pay on a raise, exciting but not massive. I'd like a massive cheque with my name on it. Or a trip. Or a new laptop. Or new shoes. I love shoes. I pulled these red boots out from storage. I love red shoes the most.
I like red cars too. I used to think red cars go faster. I've never had a car. I never needed one. I'd like my first car to be a Porsche. Dad wants a Porsche too. Chatted him today. He's busy building hot rods. I like that. He sounds happy. I'm happy too.Labels: happy, positive thinking

rested and ready to rocksteady
Yesterday was a hectic day. I've got heaps of things going on and work to get done. This, I can handle.
Last night I went to bed at about 9pm. This is HIGHLY unusual for me as I am quite a night owl.
I got this yummy chicken pie from M&M meats which I love and then dropped the thing on the oven while hot and lost it.
I ended up eating a healthy bowl of Ruffles plain with Onion dip.

rollin' with ma homies
Yesterday I put on one of Mum's old Deuce Doins shirts from 1981 and went for a cruise with my friend Jeff. Nothing like cruising in the sunshine in an old classic!
Was really nice out and the sun was shining bright. Lots of people out on the streets.
Jeff's car is pretty damn sweet as.
I know that lots of people have lots their jobs lately and I saw that they are hiring girls here and thought you should know.
Since it's Easter the girl was wearing this lovely little bunny number just for you!
