a little piece of home

i hate to say it but i'm a bit of a picky eater
but i've decided to buck up during my stay here in 'nam and step out of my food comfort zone

some things i've eaten:
squid (with tentacles) stuffed with a meat of some sort
frog legs
octopus
bamboo
baby squid
shrimp mush
pigeon (yeah... we thought it was chicken.  little did we know)
morning glory
clovers
clams
catfish

some of these meals were good. some not so much.
let's just say i've eaten a ton of rice and soy sauce to fill up.

but the other day for breakfast i just couldn't do it
i wanted food my tummy was used to
so i busted out the instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal...
and the chopsticks... because apparently our hotel doesn't believe in spoons

even though it took forever to eat, it was absolutely amazing and i savored every bite
