I love pad thai, but have never tried to make it. I've been on a search for the perfect pad thai for forty years now. There was that one, back in Boston up by MIT, that looms large in my memory, I can taste it even, but NO ONE ELSE HAS COME CLOSE to how good that one was. I try that dish in every thai restaurant I enter. Good for you making it yourself. Yum. You may have inspired me to try it too. Some shrimp, some peanuts, cilantro (is that in pad thai? should be if not), a bit of something fishy, a tad of something acid... oh my I really want some now!!
20% in fuel costs?! Holy cow. That's a lot!
Cooking your own saves a lot of money, and the food is much better for you, so there will be lower health "care" costs too. I's tell you to grow your own too, but that is no way to save money, at least not the way I do it! Crimey I paid over $200 this year just for dirt. I spend a lot on equipment and supplies. I hope eventually I will have everything I need so the costs go way down. But going out to the garden to grab dinner is very rewarding, like taking the very best care of myself.
I am trying to get back into the groove of improvement again,
Seems to me, from your writings, that you are constantly trying to improve your life.
Amazingly easy! Not sure if "perfect" but good enough for me :)
It is funny how this happens and once it is stuck in the head as the "best", others don't have a chance.
Yes it is - as a garnish at least. It is called coriander in the rest of the world I think :)
Yeah it is. Looked again and it 25!
Setup and maintenance costs are high, but the feeling of harvest is worth it :)
Yes. But it goes through stages of activity too, where sometimes I am doing a little bit of work, sometimes a lot of work. I feel I should be in a "lot of work" mode now.
