I actually made pho recently from scratch, so I can back you up on that. Taking it "apart", so to speak, into its major base components is the way to go. ...dammit, now I want pho...

I'm also in, if it's all right! I know I'm starting late, so I don't really care if I win per se...but I'd like to at least be able to compare myself to others, to keep me motivated! I'll submit my weigh in weight tomorrow.
