I had a lovely lunch date today with Ben. He was attending a conference down the street from my work and met me for lunch at a local Thai restaurant. 
I love this place because of all the parasols that hang from the ceiling. I post a pic of it every time I come here 
This is me wearing the scarf my Grams made me 
I got a lunch special that comes with an egg roll and soup. Why do they call it an egg roll anyways? Where is the egg? 
My main course was tofu with vegetables. It’s fried and a little too soggy for my taste, but I ate it all – I have never met a Thai dish I didn’t like. They don’t have brown rice, even though I ask every time (some people don’t know how to take a hint). 
But, that whole “hungry an hour later after eating Chinese food” thing happened to me! I was seriously hungry an hour later after this meal – and I know it wasn’t for lack of calories!
But, Tina was tweeting about eating a second lunch so I didn’t feel alone in my hunger and broke open a yogurt. 
It is seriously rainy and stormy outside! I am planning to cuddle up with some hot chocolate and cookies while watching TV tonight

This happen to me last night… still hangry! last night i ended up eating a snack after Mr. Chopsticks.
That happens to me all the time! And also, you are drinking one of my favorite seltzers. Everyone laughs when I crack open a Zazz
Romance in the middle of the day. So sweet!! The restaurant looks fun. You should drop off a big sack of brown rice in the middle of the night with a note saying, “USE THIS PLEASE.”
awwww lunch dates are the best!! love that ceiling too
I’m pretty sure the hungry-after-an-hour-thing with asian food is a scientific fact now. How are skinny asians possible?
That lunch looks so yummy! I totally want hot chocolate now! Thinking about getting some ice cream instead though… lol. I don’t usually have that hunger after chinese food problem. maybe it’s because I stuff my face with the chinese food? lol.
Be glad you don’t live here. Then you probably wouldn’t have even made it to that restaurant because of the weather. It’s a giant lake here pretty much! (maybe not that bad… but my driveway has at least a inch of rain water covering it.)
Awww! Mid-week lunch dates are such a treat. My hubby is away on business, so I am missing him a bit.
The parasols are so pretty!
