Re Star Anise, I grew up putting it into homemade chicken noodle soup. I believe its a mennonite thing. My grandparents on my parents side were mennonite, but by no means religious, but the food culture remained, lucky for me! There is also a very interesting cookie that uses ground star anise called pepper nuts - I can't vouch for this recipe ink but I wanted to give something to go on. http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/2110803-Grandma-s-Peppernuts Also, if you love the smell of anise, grind some up and just leave it out, it diffuses brilliantly and makes me so happy. Also, I should mention its a common ingredient in sausage so it would be great if you used your expertise to put it into a faux meat recipe! I would be very happy! I am excited to try this!

We're transplants from Silver Spring to Colorado Springs and when we lived back in that area of the east coast, pho was one of our go-to dining options. As such, it was one of the first things we vegan-ized (http://pleasurefromthethorns.blogspot.com/2009/01/cure-for-what-ails-ya.html) when we made the switch back in '07. i enjoy your blog and it's nice to be reminded of the DC area from time to time. keep up the good work :-) i think “faux pho” is just the right amount of clever :-) i found a link to your pho post on VeganDad and when i read the first few lines describing you passing all the pho places and being stuck in traffic, i knew you must be in DC, Montgomery County, or Northern Va!
