I am eating pork all week. Made some Vietnamese broken rice with pork chops, shredded pork skin, and pork-egg custard!

or cuban style, a la cafe habana!
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.
Thank you all for your suggestions! I decided using the synonym of famished and came up with (Ravenous Couple: Cooking up Life) to include my sig other as she will be posting too...I just made my first post on Com Tam Suon Bi Cha (Vietnamese Broken Rice with Pork Chops). Don't want to be accused of flagrantly pimping my blog, but for those interested in this classic Vietnamese dish, the link to the blog is in my profile.
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!!
I don't understand what you mean or how i've offended you. I've read previous posts on this forum of people getting great suggestions for blog names...just sincerely asking for suggestions thats all. I haven't even started one yet to even "pitch", advertise, or garner trafffic.
This is a staple in my fridge and so easy to make. I can't get enough of the sweet, sour, savory bite of pickled carrots and daikon. Keep some handy for accompaniments in nuoc mam, banh mi, bun dishes, nem nuong dishes, goi (Vietnamese salads).
Steamed pork egg custard with woodear fungus and bean thread noodles topped with annato oil egg yolk.
Hi all,
Ok, i'm jumping into the fray and want to start a food blog. Why? I'm a Vietnamese-American borned in VN but raised in the midwest. Left comforts of home for12 yrs of college, gradschool and training and during this time I craved my mom's home cooking and began to learn to cook, long distance often w/ mom on the phone. Since then my interest in food has grown to not just making mom's traditional Vietnamese specialties but all types of cuisine. My travels in Europe and Asia as well as living in Seattle and NYC has nurtured an adventuresome spirit and a nostalgia for great diverse food. I don't plan to make money off it but and just hope to have a nice following.
Name is Hong Pham. I've thought of Phamily Foods...but sounds tacky....FoodNostalgia..too plan...any suggestions appreciated!!!!
