Oh oops, formatting! Sorry cW! Those are not supposed to be blended all together. 1st, soda with lime, 2nd, v8/tomato juice w/hot sauce, 3rd, banana shake! I guess it might save time all mixed together, but I doubt it would be a pleasure. These are to be consumed in succession, over a period of time. Edit: In regard to phở tái, it's worth seeing if the place you get it carries pickled garlic. It's usually whole cloves or vertically sliced slivers of garlic and whole green chili in . . . well I don't know actually, a clear liquid anyway, but adding some of that liquid to the phở is goddamn magic.
Ha! Now it all makes sense. I was saluting your bravery, if perhaps not your palate. I can now strike that and reverse it. (Not that I'm in any way questioning your bravery!) I've definitely done the lime/soda, and the v8/hot sauce subject will also return to us in a later installment. The banana shake is one of my favorite breakfasts, whether on mornings of recovery, or delightfully normal ones. I don't know if I've ever strung them together in the same half a day though. I'll have to try it. Thanks!
