best gift for new mom image
SandwichGe
My neighbor will be coming home from the hospital with her new baby soon. I'd like to prepare some food as a gift for mom, dad, and grandma. I'm looking for low carb, low sodium ideas due to some health issues. What can I prepare that would be easy for them all to eat whenever they can? Roast a turkey breast? Some sort of low carb casserole? Healthy comfort food is what I want. Thanks!
Answer
What a lovely neighbour you are Gen, such a kind gesture.
This recipe is very similar to one I make now and again for a special gathering and I find a little of it goes a very long way, it is also adaptable as you can either add or take away certain elements of it to suit your taste.

What kind of gifts do Vietnamese people want from the US?
JOANN B
I will be visiting my family next month in Vietnam and would like to bring them some gifts. My mom (who's vietnamese) says that things that are distincty american are a hot commodity (like Levi's, etc) Are American brands big there? My cousins range in age from 22 to 40, male and female. What would be appropriate?
Answer
Don't bother bringing garments unless they are "uniquely" American. For instance, my wife's family has an excellent collection of Red Sox/Patriots game jerseys and t-shirts.
High end brands such as Polo, La Coste , etc. are incredibly low priced in Vn ($5 for Polo shirts).
I usually bring chocolate for the women, two bottles of good American bourbon for the men, and toys for the kids. Being a man, I also bring a box of Cuban cigars for our manly style enjoyment (bought at Tan Son Nhut or Inchon International) I travel to Vn often and whenever I see a good sale or go to a discount store, I'll load up on those kinds of things.
Viets on the whole also love electronic gadgets. I don't know your budget, but mp3 players and walkmans are pretty popular. One thing that is a status symbol in Vn is a cell phone. My wife always gets my new cell (from resigning my contract), and passes last years model to someone in her family.
Another really great gift is American food. My most popular request is to bring more jello and pudding. Everyone loves it.
I've also brought canned goods like white clam sauce, "unusual" pasta (multi colored elbows etc) and once, I even brought a live 10 lb Maine lobster.
Last, but not least, is flower and vegetable seeds. Even city dwellers can grow flowers and most Vn veggies are tiny by comparison to what Burpee sells.
Hope this helps !
