My Wonderful Sunday
After a rather depressing entry on Friday, I am pleased to say that things have gotten much better. I had a good weekend. On Sunday, we went to Atlanta with Stef and Mike. They were going up there anyway for Stef's training, and we decided to hang out Sunday. We followed them up to Peachtree City first where we stopped at Tea Fusions, formerly Teavana of Peachtree City. As soon as the shop's new site is up, I will put the link on my blog. We enjoyed some lovely tea and Stef and I bought a lot to take home. Our husbands just watched as we bought more and more. (They think we have more than we could ever drink) Then we went to a Vietnamese grocery store where I finally got my Vietnamese coffee maker I've been wanting. Yeah!!! Then we ate a nice lunch at Penang, a wonderful Malaysian restaurant. Next we went to Ranch 99, an Asian market with lots of goodies. Stef was very helpful at Ranch 99. Although I knew what I wanted, I wasn't sure where to find it all. I bought lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, more tea, tea candies, and much more! Since then I have been able to make some good food I couldn't make before. Sunday night, after leaving Stef and Mike in Atlanta (lucky them), we came home and I made Tom Kha Gai. Then tonight I made a nice red curry. And I didn't mention all the wonderful tea we've been drinking. :-)

What's a Vietnamese coffee maker? Is it like a frech press in a way?

Posted by: Lisanne at May 5, 2004 07:37 PMThe Vietnamese coffee maker is very similar to a small coffee press. I also bought some Vietnamese Espresso to go with it. The cup the coffee is dripping in is filled with condensed milk at the bottom. You can find the Vietnamese coffee makers online for about $5. They are fun for one cup. I still love my Bodum though!!!
