My Aunt has it and is in bad shape. She doesn't have long left and her mother (my grandmother) will likely outlive her. Very, very sad disease.
Please do your best MI, I know you will.

Never had it but there is a Japanese tea cafe near me that has it on sundays after 4. I'd like to try it sometime, maybe ill make that sooner than later now
AR's Italian Tonic
try it out derek.. not too difficult to make and great stuff. good for you too.
Pho is a Vietnamese dish, so you probably won't find it at a Japanese restaurant.
