I am making dinner at home more often now. I am beginning to prefer this than eating out now. Now only does it save you money, I think the quality and taste are much better.
Normally I will eat a fusion of American, Italian and Vietnamese. I called it my Saigon Fusion Food and I love it.
Tonight I made spaghetti. I bought all my ingredients from Big C. The tomato sauce was from Italy (imported). The spaghetti and most of vegetables were made and grown locally. A Japanese Amerasian and Vietnamese cooks. We ended up making a great dish.
How healthy are my new meals? Well, all of the slacks I had tailored are now loose after a couple of weeks. I have not even started to exercise yet so I was surprised when I lost the weight.
Anyway, here are pictures from my last home cooked meal:

You lost at least two comments on this post, one was from me promising to host you for a spaghetti dinner now that we have finally got a kitchen. Joy is an enthusiastic, experienced and accomplished kitchen magician, even without a real kitchen! I expect her to create many wonderful meals for us and save enough money eating at home to cover our increased rent. (200%)

Sometimes Italian sounds good, after tour form HCM City to Hanoi consisting of just rice and side dishes. I was able to get a spaghetti dinner at one of the restaurants, satisfying.
