Spring is in the air and I couldn’t be happier. I’m so over winter! May is the month my favorite flowers – tulips – make their appearance. They remind me of my hometown Holland Michigan, known for its annual Tulip Time festival.
This year, you can pick your own tulips in Amesbury during the Tulip Festival at Cider Hill Farm. You might find me there!

What I'm Loving This Month
Have you heard? There’s a new pho restaurant at The Loop shopping plaza in Methuen, MA. They serve Vietnamese and Thai food, but as the name implies, pho is the main draw here. What is pho? Read about it and my full restaurant review here. I grew up eating pho regularly. Yes, a common misconception about me: I consider myself Vietnamese, not Chinese as my last name by marriage would suggest. My mom cooked pho at home so that’s what we ate for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I was very curious to try out Pho City when I heard they were opening this week!
