continuing on vietnamese theme...use left overs to make bi for com tam (broken rice w/ pork chop). just posted this recipe on my blog.

Hi All,

Wow, I had no idea my post would generate this much discussion. Thanks to all for your supportive comments. True, it was only my first post, but definitely not the first time I've read the site (one of my friend contributes to SE as a columnist).

It was also true that that after the first exchange I didn't even want to follow up on this thread, but I knew better. Having read other threads before, the SE community is extremely creative and knowledgeable and that it would be a shame if I let the first exchange dissuade me from seeing other opinions in SE.

Like some of you have said, this is all about the sharing the love of food. I will chose my own blog name, but I see nothing wrong with asking for suggestions for and bouncing ideas from other foodlovers. It's not my goal to write a cookbook or get rich from this.

while making alot of mom's traditional home Vietnamese recipes will be a big part of it, I don't want to be pigeon holed into just Vietnamese cooking.

how about "Phamished Foodie: Ravenous adventures of a novice cook".
too wordy? what about

-"BitofThis&BitofThat" that's how my mom would describe her recipes to me as she did everything from memory and never wrote down recipes.

-Braised&Battered: Adventures of a novice cook.

Thanks again!!
