post v day pretty

i just wanted to share a few pics of pretty things since they happen to be red, and taken on valentines day.

pooch special k made the cupcakes

 

  

the delicious beverage is an italian strawberry liqueur, called fragoli with handpicked wild strawberries

check this site for some cocktail recipes

these next few photos are the gifts that daughter pooch lucy and her dude J brought back from vietnam for me.  above is a little vietnamese coffee maker.  first you put sweetened condensed milk in the glass, then put the coffee in the little thing and pour boiling water in and let it drip thru.... then stir.    its  strong,  sweet and called vietnamese white coffee.

they had this made for me at a silversmith in hanoi.  it is a gratitude symbol.  check out the site for a very cool link to a 2 minute video ( for the symbol not the silversmith :) )
