Thai Basil lunch

 

The same comfortable eating area, with new owners in the last year. 

My summer rolls, with more cilantro than I was expecting,  and less basil. But I did enjoy them with the delightful peanut sauce. 

We each chose Pad Thai, mine here with shrimp. It was delicious and gave me two meals...but why would people cook shrimp with the tail on, which has to be removed before one can eat it? I never quite understand this!

A very nice menu presentation. One has to remember that all the meals on one page are only priced according to whatever the protein is added.

We had a choice of a salad and spring roll or crab Rangoon with our lunches.

My friend and I went home with left overs for another meal. But I'm not drawn to return. During Covid I would stop by when they were open to get a take-away with tofu and broccoli in a peanut sauce. I couldn't find anything like that. Pad Thai was the only thing with peanut sauce that I saw.

Hope you enjoyed seeing our lunch.

A couple of days ago I learned that my oldest son, Marty, has a new-to-us disease, where lots of tests have confirmed his condition. He wants to keep details private at this time, but I am quite concerned about him. He just turned 61 in the spring, and works daily outside in Florida.

Today's quote:

Rather than relying on a thin, idealized hope that we will all one day just get along, we can approach conflict resolution as an art form that we are privileged to develop and hone.
