A TASTE OF VIETNAM Manila High School batchmate Thelma called me up that she and Mila the treater had arrived at Pho Nam Lua on McCormick Blvd. in Chicago. They didn't know I was already inside waiting for them. Being not so familiar with the food of Vietnam, we took our time in ordering. After some questions we finally ordered fried egg rolls, fresh spring egg rolls, fried calamari, house special noodle soup of ox tail and beef, and beef ribs with kangkong. All very good. It's good the lady server kept filling up my glass with water because it was a bit hot and the restaurant did not have air-condition only 2 fans. The temperature yesterday, September 2, was around 91 degrees.

Coconut Crabs......
How would you like to find this on the side of your trash can!!!!!!! (or anywhere!!!!) --
Our friends in Australia sent us a picture of a Coconut Crab. This is pretty interesting.....
Coconut Crab (Birgus latro) is the largest terrestrial arthropod in the world. It is known for its ability to crack coconuts with its strong pincers in order to eat the contents.
It is sometimes called the robber crab because some coconut crabs are rumored to steal shiny items such as pots and silverware from houses and tents.
The second photo gives you a good idea of how large these crabs are - a coconut crab is seeking food from a black trashcan.
COCONUT CRABS
The coconut crab is a large edible land crab related to the hermit crab, and are found in the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans, and Galápagos' Islands . They eat coconuts for a living! How would you like to be on an island and come across a crab that is more than 3 feet from head to tail and weighs up to 40 pounds, with a pair of large pincers strong enough to open coconuts! They can climb trees too, but they only eat coconuts that have already fallen to the ground. Coconut crab meat has been considered a local delicacy.
And you're afraid of spiders??!!!!
