I see Danny at 1:30.
This is the third year Danny Bunyavong has taken part in the Macy’s Glamorama runway. Macy’s 2011 annual Glamorama benefit for the Children’s Cancer Research Fund was another blowout extravaganza with performances from Bruno Mars and Far East Movement and fashions from the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Jean Paul Gaultier, Sonia Rykiel, Papi and more. Danny modeled Armani Jeans at the Macy’s Glamorama 2011 show in Minneapolis.

It has been raining here lately and it’s actually good for the plants and air, with everything blooming we do have high pollen counts and hopefully this will wash all the pollen dust in the air. My dad has a chance to use his fireplace also.

And for dinner we had Summer rolls. The spicy peanut sauce gave me a terrible heart burn, I have to remember to eat less spicy next time.

It’s easy to prepare the summer rolls, and the mints and parsley were from my dad’s garden. I cooked the thin sliced pork, and wrapped with the rice paper sheets.
