Happy Pho

Baleen succumbed to the marketing savvy of a rice noodle saleswoman. Cheers to her for passing out free samples by the register on a Sunday afternoon in Whole Foods, the time when the crowd far surpasses one's patience in dealing with it. Just before the clerk announced my grand total, a box of Happy Pho appeared.

Add two bundles of fresh bok choy, cilantro, and a hunk of ginger from the Wednesday morning market for $2.10, along with another visit to Whole Foods for a pound of chicken, and you're got a midweek meal for $13. Hot bananas.

Eat it on a week night, right in the middle of a busy week for Baleen and me, and talk about how there's only seven more days or work for Baleen, then you've got one happy mom-to-be.
