IDK about the quality of their take-out or standard Thai faves but Wondee has some excellent offbeat stuff on their "secret" menu including some amazing "salads." They don't make it spicy enough though. |

I just played clips of the start of Bette's Midler's The Rose and then the start of Eric Carmen's All By Myself at the same time that the steady extended, um, motif was continuing here, and it was a silly kick but worth it. |

Rev. Turnip Druid:
Kudos, DCPat. I haven't cooked that style before, until recently: went to (aforementioned) asian market in the suburbs & scored a huge tub of prik khing concentrate. Made a huge bathtub of spicy veg...... but man, I think it should've been diluted more. hoo-boy. quoth Dallas: "that crap is gonna eat through the goddamned hull!" |

ohh, i used to love inari. I'd gobble it up when I worked at the sushi restaurant. They paid me jack shit, but I made up for it by chowing down. |

Trying to listen to the show, keep up with the posts, and figure out how my new phone works. Driving me nuts. Meant for business people. Soooo not for me, but got it for free, so have to try and get a handle on it. |

Handle? Are you worried about dropping it in your annoyance? |

Fri. 6/7/13 4:18pm
Caryn:
Possibly. More irritated by the fact that I can't even manage to send a damn text message, 80 % of my old texts have vanished, and I can't figure out what the SMS settings mean to figure out what's wrong. I will soon be close to throwing the thing across the room. |

Yeah, as soon as I typed it I knew it was almost impossible to ask. Sounds like Mrs. T-nip is cool, or has a great personality etc. regardless, transcending it. yet-who are we to judge-yet who aren't we?? |

Rev. Turnip Druid:
During early dating times, our classic quid-pro-quo was her taking me to see Charlie Daniels Band, and I took her to see Stereolab/Olivia Tremor Control. Both shows were the same week. Mid '90s, so it was peak Stereolab. Loud as hell. And she was still speaking to me afterwards... success! |

Fairness... I guess if I loved them I'd let them play their music in the car w/o making too many faces. But on the other hand, I could be a dick like ME- which is more like me anyway. |

Mrs. Carmichael and the teenage Carmichaels listen to Top 40 noise. I came with a Top 40 muting circuit built-in. Reciting the song lyrics as deep spoken word poetry usually clues them in that I hate it. And that I'm an asshole. |
