Sorry I missed it 😿

Sorry I missed it 😿

Too many choices. So much to maybe listen to. Who can keep up..

[GravitySucks]

Looks dee-lishus. Is the only meat you use shrimp?

Yes.  Tomorrow I am making Khoa Tom Pla with salmon

I like shrimp more than salmon. Just something to take note of before you invite me over for dinner

I would listen but early evening doesn't work for me. Bart says he will replay Boogs and Rikki's shows at a later time. Should I trust him to follow through?

I used Red Argentine shrimp today.  It tastes a bit like lobster.

I made my best batch of Tom Yum Goong yet. Absolutely nailed it.

That does look yummy.  @GravitySucks  Have you always had an affinity for Thai cuisine?  For some reason I rarely eat it.  Not sure why either because it is very appealing to me.

@ShayP I tasted Thai food for the first time when I was in the Air Force.  In a restaurant in 1979 near Offutt AFB in Omaha.  Pad Thai. The flavors exploded in my mouth and it has been my favorite cuisine ever since.  This last year I started eating the curries.  I like all of the curries now too.

My favorite dish lately is a cellophane glass noodle salad call Yum Moon Sen or Yum Woon Sen.  It’s one of the few dishes that registers on the border of my tolerance of Scoville units.

I feel @FISH and her magic 8-ball would have the best answer here.

I also like this one - salty, sweet, spicy - it an be ordered off menu at most places

[GravitySucks]

Dang, that is one of my absolutes favorites, if I go to a new restaurant I'll usually order this to see how they make it, and how well.

I've to this day never had pad thai

I don’t eat Pad Thai very often.  Pad Kee Mow (Drunken noodles) is my go to noodle dish.

All this talk about Sandsquatches reminded me of when my friend Mahone Dunbar, writing as Jeffrey Richards, tried to get a script produced. The story features a part-time teacher and political activist, a pottery artist, Sandy- a Desert bigfoot, and Sandy’s companion - deeply conflicted homeless Iraq war vet. George Noory, greys, and reptilians get mentions. Here’s Richards’ correspondence with his agent about The Sky Is A Lonely Place.

I'm partial to steamed whole fish in any Asian cuisine, this one with a chili, lime, and garlic sauce is from the southern provinces.  So many restaurants in the US have cookie cutter limited menus, I've only found one place in SF that has it (the garlic sb diced much much smaller than they've done it here, and maybe not as much)

There are plenty of other excellent steamed fish dishes, with coconut for example, or curries, etc

I think it's because I usually go for the glass noodles.  Cooking all this yourself, you're really taken it to a new level. 

I cook Thai sometimes, but all this talk is inspiring me to do it more often - especially with the internet.  I used to have to try to back engineer it

A restaurant near me doesn’t have Clay Pot scallops on the menu but they will make it for me when I go in.  It is expensive as Thai food goes but really tasty.
