Grilled Fish and Romance...

Alright, so i've been staying in cheri's room for the first couple days since i had yet to get a bed in my room. My mom did some bed frame shopping and found a fancy one that was actually built for a newly wed couple. But they have been late picking up so the guy had no problem selling it to us and making a new one for them. Nothing too fancy but its pretty strong and that's all that matters to me.

Our next buy was a mattress. We stopped by this random shop one our way to check out the fancy hotel down the main road. The first mattress they had was like foam. Really soft and thin. Pretty sure i wouldn't like it after awhile. So we asked for something a little harder. The lady then pulled out this folded mat thing..like it was rock hard. i can't believe anyone would sleep on this thing. Like it was pretty much concrete. We looked around the store some more and found a queen mattress that pretty much looked like a regular mattress and was a little firmer than the first but much softer than the second. i felt like i was in a Goldilocks story or something by this point..anyway, we got it but never got a really good look at the mattress because it was wedge vertically between two other mattresses.

When they delievered teh mattress about an hour later, this was the surpise in my bedroom...

Seriously, why do they even bother making designs on mattresses?! They're just going to be covered up with sheets anyway! i guess i'll never know, lemon.
At least the mattress sits above the foot of the frame so i don't have to working about hitting it with my legs getting in and out of bed.
After i moved my clothes and junx up from cheri's i did some work on the computer. After awhile one my cousins knocked on my door with this!
i forget what its called but its freakin' delicious! Its some crazy sticky rice that has been cooked forever with black eye peas and coconut milk poured over it. Pretty much the best thing to eat after a good Vietnamese dinner..or for a snack!

jonathan isn't a fan of the stuff because the black eye peas remind him of prison food...at least that's what he told me.

Grilled fish was on the menu for dinner! Big fat fish from the river! They were still alive when they started cooking them! My cousins first stuck a stick through them so it would be easier to turn them on the newly purchased grills my mom had bought in the morning.

The one fish kept moving its tail the whole time it was cooking. Silly dead fish..moving is for living fish!

Here my mom is giving me fish cooking advice. The little boy in the picture is Lam (sp?). He is hilarious. He does this model impression. Caught it on video but you'll probably never see it.

More fish!

Still grillin'.

With the fish we had noodles, assorted veggies, rice paper, and roasted pork!Once the fish was deboned some oil and onions were poured over the fish. It was quite tasty.

My mom ate the head of course...i stay away from that stuff myself. i'm on a strick no fish head diet.
