Carrot soup with miso and sesame

Feeling like eating miso soup? If so, you're not alone. Recently I also feel missing that soup so much. I don't know why, maybe because I haven't had that soup for so long. And yeah, it was also randomly I read a post from smittenkitchen.com about carrot soup with miso and sesame 1 week ago. I felt like big idea coming together from two strangers

The Second Tet Away

[Some words about Lunar New Year before the post for my family]

Tet is the Lunar New Year in Vietnam. Even though Vietnamese's New Year celebration is happening at the same days as Chinese's. However, I don't like when people ask me if I celebrate for Chinese's New Year. I'm Vietnamese, I'm not Chinese and never be Chinese. China originally created Lunar Calendar, but the Lunar New Year is not only for Chinese. If you can't remember Tet or other words for different countries, please just say "Happy Lunar New Year" to us. We're thankful for that. 

The Second Tet Away

Granny once asked me why I had told her that I would be away from home just 1 to 2 years for maximum; but this Tet, I’m still away. [Tet is the most important holiday that family members are supposed to back home.]

Get set, 2012! New year goals

2012 is officially present here and now in over the world more than one week. I was so proud of myself that finally I was able to change my life and dared to make an important decision in 2011. I had the wonderful year that most of my friends would be jealous. I had all my time to do whatever I loved.
