My wife and I had a magnificent feast this evening at III Forks, a steak restaurant in far north Dallas. We were there about a year ago for Restaurant Week (many upscale restaurants offer a prefixe menu at a reasonable [but stil high] price and donate a portion of the proceeds of each meal to the North Texas Food Bank] and returned for the same this year. We typically do not do these upscale restaurants more than once...we want to try as many as we can when they are more or less affordable. But this place is worth going back. And it's the only one we are visiting this year. More about the food some other time.
This evening, I wandered into a couple of really interesting blogs about Vietnam. They're truly interesting and, for anyone planning to visit, extremely useful. Here are some links:
First link I stumbled across
That link's home page
Another link that I found from the original blog
The way I stumbled into the Vietnam links was that I was reading a blog by a local guy in Dallas (Charles Kemp) who is into food, among other things (he's involved in healthcare initiatives for the poor, I believe...it's been awhile since I read his personal information). His local food blog is really interesting and useful, I have found. His connection to Vietnam began when he served there when the U.S. was at war there.
That's all you're going to get from me tonight.
