vietnamese chewy ball

I really don't know what this is called but what it tasted like was mochi outside or "yoown" filled with pork and mung bean with green onion/fried onions on top. It also came with a sweet fish sauce. So savory and delicious. I'm going to try making this when I get a few days off in a row. We tasted this at the Saigon Mall in Garland, Texas. (pic taken with my new rebel t2i)

Thyca conference 2010 Irving, Texas (close to Dallas!)

Just a little note..had a weekend trip to Dallas for the Thyca Survivor's Conference. It was fantastic. I met a lot of other thyca survivors and had a great time learning about my disease. I feel more empowered now and glad that I went. Thank You Mom for taking the trip with me to learn more about thyca. It is a journey, and I know I'm not alone. My biggest fear was not knowing when or what.. I know now how important it is to keep stress on the down low. How do I do this? Me time.. for this weekend it was shopping through hobby lobby. I wish we had one of those near me. It was so much fun!

Heading to Kinderstampo's blog hop

HI! What a beautiful day it is here in Sunny Foster City, CA. I am just starting to enjoy my day..hubby took J to the Clone Wars Exhibit @ the Zeum in San Francisco. So it's my day!! all to myself! Thank You Hubs! So the plan for today is to blog hop and work on some cards! Oh and I finally made a bind it all notebook. It's for J, so she can practice writing letters. She just wrote her full name by herself, so proud of her. It's actually the 2nd bind it all notebook. The first one I made pretty quick for my patient and his family, but forgot to take a pic.

To a beautiful day ...maybe I'll have time to run to Michaels..
