Passing conversation between me and co-worker here in the hallways at work. We'll call him Harold.

(Walking towards me)

Harold: Hey there.

Me: Dr.

Harold: How you doin today?

Me: Glad I'm not sick!

(walk into my office with a big ole goofy grin on my face).

Paid my co-pay at the Dr office with a credit card to the receptionist. We'll call her Ethel.

(sitting at her desk)

Ethel: Please sign on the line.

Me: There's no line for a tip.

Ethel: It would be unethical for me to accept a tip.

Me: I didn't say I'd give you a tip, just that there is no line for one.

Ethel: (looks at me ????????)

(walk out of office chuckling to myself)

This reminds me - we just got a Vietnamese place in Northampton - while I love making my own Vietnamese dishes, it's always awesome to enjoy affordable good eats while out on the town - so happy, squeee!!!

yeah, i'm still 45 minutes (no traffic) from Elmhurst, Queens, and Pho Bang. fortunately, they do it all, and they do it well.

link to your town's viet joint?

They're so new they don't even have a website yet!

They are right across the street from me here at werk - so thrilled that I can grab some bun at the end of the day when I don't feel like cooking (which is a rare occasion, but it happens!)

Finding this place right down the road in Hadley really made life infinitely more enjoyable, too!

I love the part where someone describes it as an Asian food TARDIS!

yeah, we'd make a fantastic double-dip one-two kitchen combo (more like one-one, really) for a Viet meal!!!

interesting menu, plenty of treasures, some nods to Chinese influence, and some real gems - jungle fried rice, goi cuon, and viet flounder, which is divine when done right! i'm laughing at the $8 bowls of pho, though...that's a solid $2-3 higher than NYC.

[hoagie]

they fry rice in the jungle?

ok that one sucked...

[Lazy Lightning]

[Deadshow Dan]

damn good (veggie) Pho Chay though. But yeah, pricey and they are still quite busy
