Definitely not Pad Thai.....

One of the things I miss is really good THAI. The summer I was finishing my MA at Ryerson University I think I lived off take out from Salad King. This was the Thai place that was across the street from our Grad Lounge (where I went to work to actually FINISH my papers--it was a really good plan actually). For most of July and the beginning of August I ate Pad Thai, Spicy Seafood and other wonderful choices off the menu. Often having 'lunch' and 'dinner' by pre-ordering and then going to pick it up 20mins later. I think I have the Salad King to thank for for keeping me 'sane' by keeping me FED through that time period of my life. Hmmmmm where was this blog going? oh yes! One of the things I MISS is Thai.... awhile back I was cruising the aisles of the Northern with my friend Kim... and she said.."you have to try this" (exhibit A: at the right hand side). Last night in honour of my 6 month anniversary in the north I cooked it up! Stir frying the chicken, adding an egg, a can of bean sprouts (not as tasty as fresh ones), and then for the veggies... well I threw in a "Japanese" mix of frozen veg.... I also picked up some "rice" noodles-- (from Thailand) with NO cooking instructions on them--but apparently boiling water.. and dunking them in for 2-3mins works.... I added it all together, stirred and well held my breathe. I looked at it.. and well it didn't look like Pad Thai (from Salad King or the Green Mango) BUT it wasn't HORRIBLE...or bad----just different.

(NOTE: I just realized for someone that claims she can't cook--I've posted a lot of things about cooking lately... hmmmmm perhaps that's something I'll have to think about!!)
