I hope she enjoys the restaurant & it isn't too noisy for her. Fingers crossed the other two don't complain about it

It's a favorite brunch spot for all of us

vixmom · « **Reply #93 on:** July 12, 2019, 07:39:49 PM »

Although, quite unfortunately, they seemed to have removed our favorite item from their brunch menu

It seems they have stopped serving

Haircut with Korean radish in a spicy sauce.

Only special places serve that.

A co-worker of mine said he preferred his haircut with ranch dressing.

My response was: Of course. You're a Texan.

Back to Black Narcissus. Much more powerful than I remember it being.

Got bit by the bugs tonight when I went out to water.

Hi, Jan!

Hi, John! Are we dancing or baking tonight?

John G. · « **Reply #103 on:** July 12, 2019, 08:34:21 PM »

Neither. I had a nice dinner with friends. Excellent Thai food.

My dance instructor Joy has bone spurs in her neck. It's painful for her to dance. So, she wants to take a couple of days off. Gives me a chance to do a few more things.

And what are you up to tonight?

What's your favorite Thai food?

The whole lot. Tonight I had a spicy stir-fry with pork, red and green bell peppers, onions, basil and a crazy good broth with plenty of black pepper and chili pepper in it.

When I lived in Florida, I became friends with a family who owned a Thai restaurant. They helped educate me to the nuances of Thai food. Both Sam and Nancy could cook Thai food, and their styles were different. So, it was always nice to find out who was going to be in the kitchen that night.

Sam came to America first, and he worked in South Beach where he was introduced to stone crab claws. He incorporated them into his Thai food when they were in season. Stone crab basil, stone crab green curry and red curry. Those may be my all-time favorites.

Nancy also made these incredible rice flour donuts that were served straight out of the fryer with a glaze and crushed peanuts. That was perfection on another level.

Love Black Narcissus, novel and film.

Finished with my viewing and now listening to Bernard Herrmann's The Night Digger.

The donuts sounds amazing. I'm not big on spicy. My s-i-l is from Thailand so she watches what I'm served. If it's a spicy dish, she says "no, Jan, that's not for you." My absolute favorite is Pad Thai. If my s-i-l is coming to see me, she has her sister make some to bring out to me.

I was going to ask if anyone had read anything by Rumer Godden. I have one of her novels, but I haven't read it yet. I'll need to find it.

I'm getting ready to watch The River because it's also Godden.

Yes, Thai food can get awfully spicy. I try to remember that if we're eating family style and sharing dishes. But tonight, it was all mine and at just the right level of burn.

The closest I've come to Thai food is the Thai chicken pizza at California pizza

vixmom · « **Reply #119 on:** July 12, 2019, 09:24:15 PM »

I would venture a guess it's not authentic Thai cuisine
