Miso Soup

Hello there,

I've been thinking, what should I post in my blog? Well, I have friends and family in
Houston, Austin, and Cypress TX,
Salisbury MD,
Millsboro and Laurel DE,
Washington DC,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, North Carolina
and many more places all over the states!
So now this blog has an audience, ...my friends and family!

I will post whatever I could think of that could let you know what I have been up to. It could be like "What did I do today", or a reflective moment, or even a retrospective moment. It will not be focused on one topic or one goal. Let's say...I'll just go with the flow of my thoughts.

Now for my 2nd blog, I want to tell you something about miso soup. Most of you know that I grew up in Texas eating my dad's BBQ with his famous sauce, and my mom's homemade potato salad, and pinto beans. To this day, I have never tasted BBQ that was as good as my parent's ANYWHERE! I moved to Salisbury, MD in 1998 and never had my parents' BBQ again, unfortunately. Soon after I moved there, I was invited to somebody's house for crabs, and it was my first time ever! I loved crabs ever since that day, and couldn't get enough. Even Abby loves them.

Then I moved to Washington D.C. in 2003 and was introduced to Sushi for the first time. I became addicted to them, but they were expensive to order at restaurants if I wanted to eat them on a regular basis. So I decided to learn how to make them. Making sushi is very time consuming, so I only make them for special occasions. In D.C., I was also introduced to many different cuisines and can tell you that my favorites are Thai food, Sushi, Crabs, Shrimp, and other Asian food.

When I decided to move to West Virginia, I wanted to go to a restaurant in D.C. that I had never been to before I moved away. I went to Woks N' Rolls because I heard they had good Sushi. I ordered a meal which came with Miso soup, my first time to taste that soup just when I was about to move out of D.C.! I like having appetizers before meals but most of them are fried, or too heavy like chips/ bread with dips, or salad. I'm not that big on salads, so when I had the miso soup for the first time last summer... I thought that it wasn't bad, not too filling but just right for me.

Now I'm here in WV and we met new friends, a family of fab 5, and have been hanging out with them. Last week or so, we went to the Science center together in Pittsburgh, and our kids had a blast. Abby didn't want to leave! She even wanted to have a slumber party there! Afterwards, we went to Fuji Sushi, a restaurant near Pittsburgh. Everyone including Abby had miso soup and it was so good, and perfect for a cold night. Supper was great too.

In conclusion...I want to learn how to make my own Thai food, miso soup, and brush up on my sushi making skills!
