Is Street Food in Vietnam Endangered?

I should be eating my veggies right now (yes, still at work), but when I checked Twitter and saw this tweet come through the tubes, I just had this feeling it was a story you had written. So yea, miss you in DC, Erin.

Okay, enough PDA 2.0 -- back to the story -- I think this is an interesting quandary to start forcing out the individual vendors, which to me is like asking the farmers market to not be so fresh. I mean, isn't that what the street vendors often provide for us? But now we need to sanitize it until it stops being what we love so much? It seems that we are throwing the baby out with the bath water on this one (as strange as that saying is, I think it fits). Why would we want to get rid of fresh food and/or small businesses in favor of... wanting to return to a world where things are fresher and there are more meaningful relationships with people and food? Seems to be counter-productive.

Thank you for your reporting on this Erin and drop me a line anytime. xo -L.

Broken Arrows: Unlovable Valentine's Day Sweets — The Worst Candy and Chocolate

Picture #1: This is quite possibly the funniest and the saddest thing I have seen yet this morning. While it is still early, you're gonna have to really wow me to beat that. I also feel bad for the lolly?

Love the unique spin on Valentine's treats, way to rock it Erin Z!!!
