I will be taking a break from posting to deal with some personal issues…
Please wish me luck with this.

Thai food

Pad Se Ew
Last night we were heading for a favorite veggie restaurant only to find when we arrived that it’s closed on Mondays. Luckily a nice woman walked out to apologize for the restaurant being closed and directed us to several NEW veg friendly places.
Below is what we feasted on:
Young coconut drink.
Fried tofu in mint leaves, bamboo shoots and chili.

When we ordered all our food with tofu the waiter let us know that he would order it to be made without fish sauce too. The food was great and I KNOW we’ll be eating here again. The best news is that there are 2 other completely vegetarian stops within one block of this place.

Potato Tamale
Thursday, June 7th, 2007
The Irvine farmers market has a tamale stand. Although it’s 7 dollars for 3 tamales, I thought ‘eh, why not?’
These are the potato and green chili variety. They’re quite large and one was enough to fill me up but Richard enjoyed that I included some beans and rice with the meal. I always find tamales to be dry for my taste; they must be drowned in some sort of salsa/hot sauce. Even so, I enjoyed these very much and am looking forward to testing a new flavor.

Ginger Soy Soup
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007
I know it’s summer but this soup was very light and satisfying.
The ingredients include:
ginger soy broth
carrots
onion
leeks
cubed tofu
We had a large amount of leftovers and I found that the soup is even better the next day. Sitting overnight allowed the tofu to soak up more of the ginger soy broth.
See you soon!
