"Pho-bulous" time for Pho!
I ate "Pho Cuong 2" in the Berryessa center (BX! Holla!). I've ate there a few times and the prices are reasonable and the service is.. sufficient. By sufficient that means it meets the bare minimum "most of the time", and by bare minimum I mean like following through with simple request like water refills. For those who eat at typical pho places, you know what i mean!
Anyway the pho here is good..! i like the taste of the broth, and i usually get brisket only or well done roundeye steak meat. Another dish i would reccomend is the Lemon grass chicken.
"Pho-bulous"! LMAO! =)
Beef Caldareta Tacos!
I get late night cravings all the time before bed and it never fails! So last night, I went to the fridge and put together this mouth watering "QUICK FIX".
Toasted some corn tortillas, then chopped and heated some left over beef caldareta. Then I chopped up some onions, avocado, and smoked Gouda cheese, then put it all together! Yes it was delicious, and full-proof!!!

High Protein mayonnaise free TUNA SALAD
Ingredients:
2 cans Tuna (Drained)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Sweet Relish
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Japanese Pepa
6 eggs hard boiled and peeled
1/2 yellow onion diced!
mustard (honey or hot)
Smash peeled hard boiled eggs through a mesh strainer. the eggs should be a fine mushy consistency. Mix the strained tuna, with the eggs, onions, relish, lemon juice, salt & pepa. when its all mixed together add the mustard or your choice to make the consistency of the tuna salad more cohesive. For this recipe I used Beaver brand honey mustard. Mix it all well together and serve with bread or crackas!
FYI: the Japanese pepa is "shichimi togarashi" found in Asian markets.
(my attempt at presentation! Tuna salad on crackas and toasted bread circles! W/ white wine)
My Review:
While trying to find a mayonnaise free tuna salad online i came across this recipe but changed everything, and really made my own recipe. The only thing i kept was the hard boiled egg mush to make it mayonnaise free. This recipe is healthy, tasty, and high in protein! The tuna salad actually has the consistency of pate' or liverwurst, and its not bad at all. You can totally pass this off as some fancy "hors d'oeuvres" at your next party! LOL
Last shot of my creation garnished with chopped salad greens and pimento pieces! =)
