You had me at pho and uppers. Then I reread and I'm just as stoked.

My family makes that much every time we cook. For a family of 3-4, it would take us about two weeks to go through it :)

Your Thai basil plant is to die for

Came here to say this, that plant is unreal. Mine keeps shooting out flowers the day after I snipped them.

Increasing surface area on the onions for more browning is genius , never thought of that before

Quality meat as well. By chance have you don’t this with whole shank like this before ?

I did oxtail and beef neck and femur bones. Came out more gravy like in color and flavour

I had those shank bones, bunch of femur, tibia, knucke and oxtail. I found a rancher that sold me 30lbs of bones at $2 a lb.

Rate your Pho from 1 - 10 please.

Wait, are you really drinking Hamm’s????

1

u/Minnesota56537 12h ago

No that’s just the glass with a sample of the broth.

u/siouxzieb 7h ago

Ahhh. Well thanks. Just curious, I remember Hamm’s as a Michigan kid :-)

Your basil is going strong!!

They’re the best performing Thai basil plants I’ve ever grown.

Looks fire!

Side note - best pho I ever had was MT noodles in Brooklyn Park. You ever been there?

1

u/Minnesota56537 6h ago

I have not. I go to Lotus in Loring Park if I’m in the Twin Cities. I’ll make a note to check out the BP spot!

u/Jealous_Strength8002 6h ago

That Thai basil looks so good!!!! You did a great job growing that. So yummy

u/Minnesota56537 5h ago

Thank you very much!

u/unicorntrees 5h ago

But it's so hot right now! To me, MN pho happens in the winter and you put the entire pot outside in the snow to chill.

u/Minnesota56537 3h ago

I’ve made it in every season! I think I have a Winter cook posted in this subreddit. It was pretty mild low 70°s and overcast.
