Candied Almonds and Brisket Pho (Faux)

Dyal_SC

Got the house smelling yummy this morning. Some “faux” pho with leftover brisket. Has rice noodles, Chinese 5 pepper, knorr tomato bouillon, Tuscan herb blend, minced onion, and spicy oil in it. Winged it but tasty. 

Also candied almonds cooling down. 3 cups raw almonds tossed with a frothed egg white and 1 TBSP vanilla extract, then tossed in a dry mix of 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp sea salt and 2 tsp ground cinnamon.  One hour at 250 deg f, scraping and stirring on a greased baking sheet every 15 minutes. 

Fun to dig through the cabinets every now and then and winging up something good.

Time to exert some energy out of the kids now. Happy Saturday, folks.

Beautiful pic and little men, love how you got down to their level for the shot. One of my pet peeves is seeing people take pictures of kids or pets from way above.

Brisket Pho. 

Dude.

That looks incredible. You with posts like this, as well as my fit bit remind me of what a loser I am. 

Beautiful cook, thank you for sharing.
