i'm starving! i made teryaki pork tenderloins on the grill last night (at 11pm, long story. my neighbors must think i'm nuts!) but i'm jones'ing for thai food, so i'm gonna head up to my fave little hole in the wall thai place on 9th and 56th, "thai basil".
my wonderful co-worker tonight said she was going to dinner at 5:30pm. i've been waiting for her to return, and she just popped her head in the door of my office and said she was just going now.
how many dinner hours does she think she gets?
just for that, i'm getting tom yum soup and pla muk yang (grilled squid skewers with fresh cilantro and mae ploy sauce on a bed of lettuce and carrots) as an appetizer.
not sure if i'll get the chicken prig king (sauteed chicken, herbs, and stringbeans), or the kuai tiaw bowl (thin rice noodles topped with piles of chicken, ground peanuts, ground dried chiles, cilantro, and some bizarre pickled stuff that tastes good but is unidentifiable ).
extra cilantro and sriracha, please.
