Pho for your birthday? Sounds right to me.
This all started with a the idea that we needed to learn how to make Pho, a Vietnamese soup that Peyton and her family had come to love at the late, great Asian Express. I'm not up on my Viatnamese, so I won't offer a primer on all of the different names for the different ways pho is made, but I know what we made, with rare beef and noodles, is called Pho Tai. The process of making the soup is long, but not terribly difficult if you know what you're doing. I won't claim that we did, but we had a general idea.
