#Cooking more #BanhXeo for late #FamilyLunch.

They're #Vietnamese #savoury #crepes - my Dad used to love them. One will be offered to him on his home altar.

This recipe is similar to how we make ours:
https://www.thesavorychopstick.com/banh-xeo

This is an early #EastMeetsWest fusion dish. Influenced by French cuisine.

Please enjoy this #music playlist - filled with #Vietnamese #RockNRoll songs from 1968-1974. There was always a huge music scene in #Saigon & wartime didn't stop the musicians. More songs were inspired from the horrors of war. Bands kept performing wherever they could. My big Auntie told me about music jams in tunnels by resistance musicians too.

Music kept people going, when bombs kept falling. Music helped people survive war horrors.

I had a great Sunday with my friend, Sarah! She came over earlier. We did mini home spa treatments. I did full skincare spoils for her because she doesn't treat herself to spa facial treatments & deserves some pampering. Afterwards, we went to the outdoors expo, at Juan de Fuca Rec.

Just got back home & am relaxing as my #Vietnamese #BòKho (beef stew) finishes simmering. I put it on slow cook before going to expo.

Picked up 2 #BanhMi subs for after paddling eats. It's the original banh mi - only place I get it, in #VictoriaBC is -> https://alysapho.ca

I don't like how other places here make them. My fave place to buy is on Main St. in Vancouver Chinatown. I don't remember name of the place, know it by sight. My family bought from there since 80s & it's run by Teochew ppl from Cholon, Saigon, Vietnam. I can speak Teochew there; very few ppl speak my language in BC.

In the latest cause for concern, police in #Hanoi have arrested a #reformist labor ministry official, Nguyen Van Binh, 51, and charged him with disclosure of state secrets. Mr. Binh had advocated #LaborReform as director general of the legal department at the ministry, especially ratification of International Labor Organization Convention 87, which would guarantee #Vietnamese #workers the right to form independent trade #unions.

"We processed our huge clams harvest from our weekend village clam digging. We have extra clam meat for you. Froze them & I can drop off some freezer bags filled with them. I'll be in your area tonight, so let me know when you'll be around!"

My Indigenous friends are very kind, generous & thoughtful 💗 They bring my family seafood, year round.

Those efforts have helped create an #UnbreakableBond between the two nations.

I highly recommend watching this #documentary about a #Vietnamese #RefugeeFamily who fled #Vietnam in 1975.

This family was divided before they became refugees. One bro served loyally for resistance army, one bro was a reluctant South VN government army reservist & other bro was a proud South VN airforce pilot. One daughter was left behind.

"Last Saturday, I was at a community gathering of around 30 Vietnamese immigrants, all in their 50s and 60s, in Oakland, California, when I asked if anyone knew anything about AI or artificial intelligence.

None of them had ever heard of it...And in this room full of elders from my community, the Vietnamese community, no one knew about it, which meant no one knew to look for it."

#Vietnamese officials have called on #Apple supplier #Foxconn to reduce power use by 30% at its assembly plants in the north of the country where there were #electricity #outages last year, two people familiar with the matter said.
The request for #EnergySaving measures, which two other industry sources said was sent to multiple manufacturers, is precautionary & aimed at averting a repeat of last summer when #PowerShortage led to over a billion dollars in lost output.
