November 6th Venerable Vietnamese

Tonight's dining is brought to you by the only Vietnamese Restaurant in the bustling metropolis of Hamilton - Banh Mi Caphe.  A good but basic selection of Vietnamese choices, and I finally discovered that Pho is pronounced Fuhh, which sounds like the English word fur. Yes, yes, and yes. I am a tad pedantic and like to say words correctly. So therein lies your  lesson of the day. Back to our dining.

When the evening started, even though we had a table booked for four, I almost felt like Irene No Mates.  George couldn't remember if he had locked the car (a recurring condition which often afflicts him and results in him having to walk long distances to check) and Alvin & Alicia were having parking problems. Isn't it funny when you are in a restaurant on your own, and I don't know if it is psychological but you do feel pitying glances. I almost felt like holding up a sign which read 'I AM NOT ALONE - AND THE WORLD IS NOT ENDING IN 96 DAYS'

 As the night wore on and tummies were filled, we were pleasantly surprised that a Yoda look alike joined us. Especially when she started quoting "Patience You Must Have - Your Birds Nest Roll Will Arrive" and "Feel The Force - that is the mystery ingredients in the Pho of Cinnamon and Star Anise"

For one so small, she was full of wisdom

Finally I will end our visit to Banh Mi Caphe on a Bum note. Eating my meal, everytime I happened to raise my head I had the following as my view. A Crack Up? Or maybe a Crack Down? There were no Butts about this one
