Creamiest Chocolate Frosting

 My daughter Debrie found this on the internet.  This is the closest to the frosting we had in Vietnam.  I couldn't stand coming back to America and eat thick and sugary frosting but when she found this I believe in frosting again.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 3 and 1/2 cups (420g) confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 cup (41g) unsweetened natural or dutch-process cocoa powder
• 3 Tablespoons (45ml) heavy cream or milk
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 
•  
•  
• Beat the butter on medium speed until creamy – about 2 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to high speed and beat for 1 full minute. Add 1/4 cup more confectioners’ sugar or cocoa powder if frosting is too thin or another Tablespoon of cream if frosting is too thick. Taste. Beat in another pinch of salt if desired.

French Bread -Banh Mi

 This year my dad has been trying new banh mi recipes and he came upon this one and tweaked it a bit and now it's perfection.  I didn't want to share it until I've perfected it as well so I'm posting on here so friends and families can enjoy it as well as my children when they're older.  This recipe is a keeper!  It's so crunchy on the outside..moist and soft on the inside.  It's wonderful!
