The only thing better than Indian food is homemade Indian food! This was probably the best meal I have had on this entire trip... hands down. We had "butter chicken", daal, cauliflower, and curried shrimp. I think I embarressed my parents and Laura because of how fast I ate my first couple of plates, but it was so good!

This picture really doesn't do the spread justice... Mrs. Nomorosa is basically the Filipino Martha Stewart, and she made this really awesome meal of salmon, a pasta dish with scallops, and the most amazing roast beef I have ever had. I'm glad that they are Filipino as well, because they ate as much as I did, meaning I didn't look like a total pig!

My parents took us to this micro-brewery near their house called Hops. The food was so-so (I guess living in Omaha has made me a steak snob!), but the beer, especially the Flying Squirrel, was very good!

The bread/rolls that they serve here are the best part of the joint... they are more like buttery deliciousness that just melt in your mouth.

My Mom is the greatest... she threw together this awesome spread for my graduation party at their house. She went all out, even going with massive plates of shrimp, sushi and even a chocolate fondue station!

For those of you who don't know, the Seven Corners area in Falls Church is basically Vietnam. There is a huge shopping center there called New Eden where everything is Vietnamese. My parents took Laura and I there for some shopping, and of course food!

Laura was initially freaked out by her first encounter with Char Siu, or Chinese BBQ pork... the numerous ducks also hanging in the window did not help either:

After grabbing the essentials like Melon soda, shrimp crepes, steamed porked buns and other delicious snacks, we sat down for dinner at one of the numerous restaurants in the center.

WOW. The place had the best Vietnamese food I have ever had... I can't remember the name of it (I'm still kicking myself in the nuts for not grabbing a card/menu), I do remember what it looks like so if I'm ever in the area I will definitely make a return trip!

Pictured above is a plate of BBQ pork, along with shrimp and scallops. Underneath it all is vermicelli. It was amazing... I ate everything on my plate! We also had these spicy-salty tiger prawns that were also equally amazing. I was literary talking about how good this place was the entire ride home, much to the dismay of Laura and my parents. The only way they got me to shut up was to buy me a very large Bubble Tea!

Thanks to Billy, the homeless of of Omaha will now have baked beans to eat for the rest of the year... way to milk the rerolls at the Charity Con!
