	trellis  +  13901 Sun, 23 Nov 03 02:04 PM Hi Sharona, Yes, I love Vietnamese and also Korean foods. I have heard some people call Vietnamese dishes the French quality cuisine of Asia. I think that properly prepared Thai, Japanese, Indonesian and Chinese dishes are also excellent, but Vietnamese cuisine is special. You are lucky to be able to eat such wonderful foods as your everyday meals. Here in the USA it is only a special treat for me at a restaurant. Maybe one day I will learn how to cook some of the Vietnamese dishes. Lemon grass, garlic and chiles = YUM!! You probably think that I am a huge, fat pig because I am talking about food so much, but I think I like to talk about food because I do not eat much, so I am always a bit hungry. hihi trellis
