But the Coast Guard research was relatively easy. Timewise, hard to tell. I did most of the research before I ever started writing on things I knew I would need. The more I found out, the more I seemed to need - LOL. I found myself stopping a lot during the writing to look stuff up, but this was because the characters grabbed hold and pulled me along to places I didn't know I was going. Usually those are the little details during the writing when I read back over and something needs more explanation or it doesn't make sense.<br /><br />Michelle - If you like Thai and Chinese, I'm pretty sure you would like Vietnamese, too.<br /><br />VR - Could be Pho. It's spicy and has lots of stuff in it. Never complain about good Italian restaurants :)<br /><br />Clarissa - Right. I'm hungry now.<br /><br />Mary - I've never made it, but I like to eat it, LOL!<br /><br />Carol Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745686632918324803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283987261815273280.post-40602893101711100042013-04-25T16:30:11.976-05:002013-04-25T16:30:11.976-05:00Mmm, vietnamese food.

It's not like Chinese hot and sour soup, it's closer to a stew. Sorry, it's been a very long time since I've had it. In Atlanta, I'm surrounded by Italian and Korean restaurants—not complaining, mind you. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://vrbarkowski.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">VR Barkowski</a>VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283987261815273280.post-66053321147549981442013-04-25T15:52:26.924-05:002013-04-25T15:52:26.924-05:00I've eaten Thai and Chinese but not Vietnamese...I've eaten Thai and Chinese but not Vietnamese food!<br />Thai food is delicious!<br /><br /><a href="http://writer-in-transit.co.za/" rel="nofollow">Writer In Transit</a>Michelle Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750092836481599870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283987261815273280.post-15184875005946829632013-04-25T15:17:36.814-05:002013-04-25T15:17:36.814-05:00Learned a lot (again) in this post.
