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

What a shame your Thai meal did not make the mark of must return too - it did take me back to our days living in Thailand though - lovely photos. Sending you healing hugs for your son, and have a lovely week ahead.

I will keep looking forward to more Thai meals. Sometimes fixing things in my own kitchen approximate the flavors I remember and love. Thank you for healing wishes...I happen to think all positive efforts are realities of our universe.
Delete...I've never had Thai food.
ReplyDeleteIf you like vegetable dishes with interesting sauces, they are a great opportunity!
DeleteI have never had Thai food , I would enjoy the shrimp and noodles.
ReplyDeleteSending prayers and well wishes for your Son Marty!
Happy Sunday! Take care, have a wonderful week!
Yes, the noodles were delicious. Thanks for the good wishes for Marty.
DeleteI hope whatever ails your son is treatable. Good for you losing 40 lbs. I'd like to do that.
ReplyDeleteMy weight loss wasn't so much intentional as part of improving my lifestyle over 5 years. I also hope Marty's disease will have some treatment which will give him relief from it.
DeleteI am so very sorry about your son's illness. Hope it gets sorted and that there is a solution.
ReplyDeleteThank you Suzi...me too. I think he's getting another doc visit in a few weeks. I'm waiting to hear about that.
DeleteP.S. If we spent as much money pursuing peace as we do war the world would be a much better place.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteThai food is wonderful, if it is prepared well.
ReplyDeleteTake good care, it's tough when a loved one is ill.
I haven't had an Thai food that I'd say wasn't prepared well. My own preference for the peanut sauce means I haven't had that many other dishes. I know you understand about a loved one being ill, but Marty is pretty independent, so I don't know what I can do to help.
DeleteThe food seems interesting, but I probably wouldn’t return. Sorry about your kid’s condition.
ReplyDeletePeanut sauce on various noodles, or rice, and with veggies are my favorite Thai foods. My concern about my "kid" is that will continue to try to live as if the disease doesn't exist.
DeleteSorry about Marty, and I hope he does well. Thai food used to be very cheap and good around here. Then suddenly it became fashionable and the prices shot up, so I moved on.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Thai food has certainly increased in price. That's why I always try to get two meals out of whatever I choose. Thanks for your good wishes for Marty.
DeleteI love Thai food, on of my favourites. Hope Marty does well with whatever ails him.
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts for your son. I hope things go well for him.
ReplyDeleteI do not understand why people make a dish with the tails on shrimp and then I have to try to remove them to eat it. And get my hands and gosh knows what covered in the sauce. I hate that.
Looks delicious. I love Thai food.
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I dont care for Thai food, but your lunch does look very tempting. A nice presentation!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Marty. Please keep us posted, Barb. Sending hugs. It's hard for a mom when things affect her children.
