More Excitement about Food... I know you're all interested!

I guess I'm on a food kick for these posts. Don't worry. I start teaching a yoga class later this week at my school and start my "Yoga Advanced Studies Program" at Piedmont Yoga Studio on Thursday night so the topic will change!

A while back Grant and I went to the Thai restaurant about 6 blocks from our house and ordered my favorite: pad thai.

When ever I order Pad Thai, I ask for the vegetarian version since shrimp is a normal addition. But at this particular restaurant, they thought that it was still ok to use oyster sauce in my vegetarian pad thai.

When the plate came to our table, we took a couple of bites and looked up at each other trying to figure out what went wrong. My initial taste was dog food. The wet kind. We called the server over and they tried to make the dish again. It was only mildly better.

This episode prompted me to look for my own pad thai recipe to try at home where we could control the ingredients used. The search brought me to this site, where many types of food get discussed.

The first time we made the pad thai, we followed the recipe almost exactly. The second time we ventured off and used different vegetables. This time, our third attempt, really only looks like pad thai because of the sauce. But is was still sooooo good.
