WARNING!!! Major Food Porn
Of course the minute I could open my eyes again and actually see the knife, the cutting board and the flames from the stove in front of me, I set to cooking. My eyes were still a bit blurry but my tummy was more than ready for some taste bud tantalizing treats. I was sure to wear sunglasses in the kitchen as I was deathly afraid of getting anything in my eyes. In two days I produced the following:
I invited Laura over for lunch today, she brought the lemon grass, cilantro, limes and bean sprouts. I made the lemon grass beef, rice vermicelli, and prepared all the fixings for "Lemon Grass Beef Wraps." The orange water spritzer in the background was filled with warm water and used to soften the rice paper.
Here's Laura's wrap with my mom's special nuoc nam recipe. The fresh limes, slivered green onions and cilantro really made the dish authentic.
Fall is the time for soups, this was a curried lentil soup that I would have drunk if I were not afraid of choking on the homemade croutons. I wanted vitamins for my healing eyes.

That food looks awesome! and I bet it tasted great too.
Wow! What a feast! Wish I were there to dine with you. I'm glad to see that you're up and about cooking and blogging again.
Best,

Ha ha! If my husband went out and bought ingredients for me to cook while I'm recovering from surgery I would not let him back in the house!! Guess that's the difference between a cook and a non-cook. Your food looks amazing and I would gladly spend my life buying someone pomegranates if I could eat food like that at home. Gorgeous!
Mmmmmmm.....looks so yummy!!! It is dinner time here and I am now craving beef wraps *LOL*. Thanks for sharing the pics and I am glad that the eye sx worked out for you!
The food does look really good. I am curious on how your friend got the bean sprouts and cilantro in Italy. Does she grow it? I find cilantro to be very expensive if store bought.
