Ben and I share a deep, passionate love… for Thai food
But I have always thought I couldn’t cook it. I’m not familiar with the usual spices in Thai cuisine so I stick to restaurants. Well, that was until I attempted Tom Kha Gai for the Project Food Blog thing. (It’s a totally easy recipe if you wanna try Thai.)
Tonight I was super close to stopping by our favorite Thai place after school, but decided to give it another whirl at home. Since I had basil leaves and leftover ground turkey I looked up a recipe for Thai Basil Chicken. I used this for inspiration, but really did my own thing.
It came out amazing too! But, my rice noodles stuck together a lot so I had to add extra oil to them. It was a little greasy, but that kind of made it better…
Tuesday I shared what I bought from Trader Joes. Today I’ll show you what I got from Whole Foods…
A cat!

Talk about fresh! This piece of meat is still crawling around. Better than organic.
Now I’m snuggling up with some cherries, hot cocoa and Idol…
See ya in the morning
I love cherries, kitties, and thai food, so this post was excellent. hahahh
My cat, Frida, loves playing in our brown bags too! 🙂 It’s so cute, isn’t it?
mmmm, Thai food is my absolute favorite cuisine. Hands down.
I’ll admit it. Cooking asian food at home scares me. I have never tried (besides stir fry, but really, that doesn’t count).
I love how much cats love bags…slightly annoying though. Hours of entertainment for a BAG when they have a very expensive super exciting cat condo.
I don’t know if you saw this, but man oh man am I in trouble. Nutella hot chocolate from eatliverun http://networkedblogs.com/dzy2Y
Ben made Nutella hot cocoa by pouring warm milk in the almost empty Nutella jar! Is that what she did too?
Basically! I T of Nutella with a cup of milk in a saucepan!
Really fun entry! I have the same issue with Target bathing suit bottoms–I don’t know who they make the “smalls” for! They run soo small. I laughed at your self-pic at the stop light. Wonder what the cars next to you thought 😉
Ugh, I’m so jealous of your cherries. You know what produce is really good here? Nothing except overpriced little clementines with ridiculous names like “Cutie”. I need to move to FL or CA where fruit is good year round 🙂
I have NEVER tried Thai food! I need to add that to my meal planning for next week 🙂
Thai food is definitely easier with the help of TJ’s. HAve you tried their Red Curry sauce? It’s pretty good!
My cat loves to go in the grocery bags as well! Seriously she will just ignore us for hours, sitting inside her bag, even when we’re sitting on the couch where she would usually come to cuddle. Crazy cats.
My favorite type of food has gotta’ be Thai…so good! (I think that little extra oil does make it better sometimes!) Also love WHOLE FOODS!! (and seeing what other people buy there!) So glad I found your blog, I’m a newb. to writing and commenting on blogs I love:)
AHHH! That cat sandwich!
Ugh, I’m out of cherries! Reason 2 to go to Costco ASAP 🙂
