New Day: New Beginning

    Sue


    Labrador. Taurus. The Empress.

    Soo-Doo
    No she’s not korean. We call her Chi Dung. Sometimes Soo Scooby Doo. She’s another sister-in-law. The elder one.
    She’s very bình-dân, easy-to-approach, and no-nonsense type of girl. You do something stupid,     she’ll be the first one to tell you. That’s why I’ve always tried to avoid her wrath by not answering phone calls from “Unknown caller” (her phone number is unlisted!) :lol:


    And she’s also very generous. Here’s where Sue and Anh Sơn share something in common. Of course, don’t ask for the house, or the car. Other than that, they’ll give you whatever you ask for. And be careful – if you ask Anh Son for something, he might even throw chi Dung in as bonus!


    Chi Dung used to be a good cook. Phở, hủ-tiếu, xiêm gà … Until one day after Thanksgiving, she decided to make use of the turkey carcass and leftover. I never forget the taste of Phở Turkey. I want to forget, but can’t! Sorry Sue, as cook, you’re ranked below Hannah!

    Oct 13, 2006: I need to kiss butt (bợ đít) chị Dung, since I’m going down there next weekend. Otherwise, she’ll kick my ass (đá đít). Her Prime Rib is the best. And everyone who has tried it, agrees that it’s easy and simple to make, yet tasty.

      dominic is a man’s name, dad. and i have come to learn that almost any woman that spoils me compensates for it by being completely insane. ALMOST being the key word, haha.

      Eric,
      You can call us and come for dinner anytime since you have the car now. Do you want me to drop off some foods in the future on my way to work or back home?
      I have mi` and fried rice now in the office. I will call you tonight when I go home.
      PS I don’t cook much lately since I am trying not to eat much but still have to cook something for Bac Son which you might not like (i.e. Bitter melon, canh rau ren (VNmese spinach)etc..)
      I just went to the store and got you some foods banh mi thit, banh trung thu, pateshaws, banh bao and left you a voice mail on your cell

      Soo-Doo – it’s “ngam bo^` hon` lam` ngot.” !!! As in, “I’ll bite my tongue”, as you’ve always said.

      Your VNese is so weak, hehe…

      i’m adding this 4 Sue as she’s so low-tech ;-)
      ==============================================
      Did Leann write this??

      I lend her my car to see Sam for TEN hours (pha’ ky? luc)!!!

      Anh Son lend Eric Doo the scooby doo Honda !!!! :-o)

      It is true that I give away “my last shirt” (whatever the saying is)

      I have a story to tell and you can post it because I don’t know how!!

      About 10 years ago, I was taking a break from grinding at the numbers in financial department and went to the back of a BIG warehouse (quite a walk) to buy an icecream bar from one of those machines. Here I am walking back to my office without opening the wraper, keeping it cold til I get back to my desk!!. A few other workers were standing in the warehouse, one of them asked “can I get a free ice- cream?” “Of course” I said and gave him my 1st icecream bar!! I went back to my desk and took more changes to get another ice-cream. On the way back, another employee asked for the ice-cream so again, I gave my 2nd one away!! I did that for three times (loss 3 lbs from walking) and then getting smart, I brought extra changes in case someone else wants the “darn”ice cream!!! but at the fourth time walking back, they busted it out and said we were just “testing” your generousity!!! Jack Ass!!! We were laughing so hard and will never forget that “feel good” story just like the “pho Turkey” story that Leann would never “let it go!!” and I forgot all about it. By gone be by gone!!!
