Saturday night, we went to a Tet party at Ryan and Huyen's place. Sarah and I don't tend to be extremely social, so it was nice getting out and hanging out with people, even if we didn't know most of them.
The food was delicious and we had a great time. My pictures came out O.K. I wish I had taken more of them, but I didn't want to intrude and blind people with my flash of doom. I'm glad we went. And we got to pretend that everything Huyen touched was Vietnamese.
Now we just have to grow half a brain and figure out how to drive to Eden ourselves, so we can find some of the "fruit whose name can ne'er be mentioned", since Sarah liked it so much.
Pictures from the shindig are here.

We were so happy y'all came by and enjoyed the food and fun. As for getting Eden, just take rout 7 East all the way through downtown falls church and then at 7 corners intersection you hang a left (very confusing intersection) onto Wilson blvd. Eden is on the left after the first stop light on Wilson and there is a red gateway above the entrance. http://www.edencenter.com/saigongardens.asp ps-I am still searching for the name of the fruit that Sarah liked but in the meantime you can take this asian fruit quiz: http://chinesefood.about.com/library/quiz/bl1000photofq.htm

I think I found the mysterious fruit! It's called a Malay rose apple, Malay apple, rose apple and other variations. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&q=rose+apple&btnG=Google+Search Here's a cousin: http://www.capetrib.com.au/

Errr... I was too busy eating while you were still there. And you aren't hot, so I wasn't compelled. Or something.
