Watch out Martha Stewart!

Hanh has "joined" our family several days a week to grocery shop (which is tricky here in Saigon for a variety of reasons), wash/prepare fruits and veggies, and cook. I decided in celebration of all things American this weekend, it would be a treat for Alli and Hanh to make traditional chocolate chip cookies.

Why a treat you may ask? Aren't chocolate chip cookies quite normal and plain? In the states, yes. In Vietnam, not so much - See Exhibit A:

Here is the chef in her apron (thanks Aunt Becky and Uncle Steve!!) all ready to go...

Here are Chef Allison and her sous chef hard at work....

And the delicious end result!
Let the celebration weekend begin!
