Lunch: 6-7-11

Last summer I did things like make Thai curry for dinner despite the fact that I was taking cold showers every evening. I vowed to eat smart this year and avoid foods that would only help increase my body’s temperature. It was the first official day of summer this week (not like that means anything to the PNW!) and on that note, I’m here to hold a moment of silence in honor of pho.

Although, knowing Portland there’s bound to be some cold, cloudy summer days whose foul mood can only be remedied with a big steaming bowl of pho. This particular meal is from Pho Van on Hawthorne, the only place I ever go when the craving strikes. It’s the best.
