OMFG..Finally

Well, my fair Internet. It certainly has been awhile. I’ve been feeling a bit uninspired..and busy as hell. Tonight, however, my world has been spun on it’s ass and so, I must tell my 3 readers all about it.

Tonight…I had Thai food. Now, I know what you must be thinking: “Average Mom, you have had Thai food before,” and you would be right. I have had Thai food before, frequently in college with my bestest roommate ever and bills that would reach the highest level of the atmosphere BUT tonight, TONIGHT!! I had NEK Thai food. For those of you don’t know, the most ethnic food you can procurewhere I live is all you can eat “Chinese” buffet. Bad Chinese buffet, where all they serve for wine is Sutter Home but tonight, TONIGHT! I tried the new Thai food restaurant called “Thai Tanic.” I know, I know, awful cheesy name but the food was good, and not just good-for-the-middle-of-nowhere-good….no, no…good for ANYWHERE good. Albeit, it is not AS good as that awesome Thai place that GastroGirl and I would blow our months grocery money on but still, it was very yummy.

I had the Red Curry Seafood, which was an awesome blend of Shrimp, Scallops & Calamari sauteed with green bell peppers, bamboo shoots, string beans, green peas & carrots with basil in an a coconut curry sauce. It was DELICIOUS! the sauce was more of a soup and the Jasmine rice sucked it up like a freshman sucking up their first scorpion bowl. It was just spicy enough, with a little sweet…I want more just thinking about it.

The Hubby had Beef Pad Prik King, beef stir fried with string beans, carrots, and fresh ginger in a spicy coconut sauce. It was pretty good compared to other thai I’ve had but not great, however on the NEK scale, it is a total 8, but I probably won’t order it again.

Things I am looking forward to ordering, oh, …..tomorrow! are:
1. basil duck  – um, yeah…duck.  The only duck you can find up here is the one that Billy Bob shot last Sunday.
2. the seafood salad with ginger & cilantro in spicy & sour lime sauce
3. the lemongrass seafood…”you had me at lemongrass”
plus, I would like to try the Tom Yum, not because I particularly like Tom Yum, but because that’s what we would always start our Thai gluttonies with back in Undergrad….ahhh…
