We have planned to go out to dinner and have pho, a Vietnamese soup. It is a clear but hearty broth with vegetables, noodles, and the meat or not meat of your choice. The internet says it is open until 9 PM but when we get there they are not serving anything but take-out after 7 PM.

We switch gears and try to find something nearby that will be open because at this point it is going on 8 PM. We decide to eat at a Chinese restaurant and order our pre-diet usual, moo shu pork and Mongolian beef. I wish I could say I made a better choice or even fought for a better choice but I was tired and hungry and it was obviously not my fault!
