It was a snowy night…
A combination of the heat pump not working… slash in the midst of repairs…
A wanderlust filled heart…
An ache for vacations past…. And a craving for those little plastic chairs and tables we so delicately perched over… slurping our broth and noodles.. allowing drops to fling this way and that.
Not a care in the world for where those drops ended up. Just a need to demolish this concoction. The salty, spicy and flagrant bowl of warmth.
I also had free beef soup bones in need of using…
SO I MADE HOMEMADE PHO!!
I LOOSELY based it off of this recipe:
I excluded what I did not have and let the broth simmer for over 9 hours…
Now it will never compare to those mornings in Hanoi we spent hunched over our bowls.. But this will do. This will more than do!
