We ate at a Thai restaurant the other day. I'm not into the food but the kids love that stuff. I thought the food was okay. Our neighbor owns a Thai restaurant but we didn't go to that one. Her daughter died and she's a woman of constant sorrow and I find the food at the restaurant to be full of sorrow.

I had the Thai coffee - that was kind of a mistake. I was worried about my guts on the drive home. Tasty stuff though. I can make the Thai/Vietnamese coffee/tea at home just fine. I'll be smart and use coconut condensed milk instead of the gut-killing real stuff and it'll all be smooth sailing.
