I admit I was pretty slow on this, but I finally saw a reasonably priced pad thai sauce: http://importfood.com/sapk1701.html
For a few months I've been casually wondering how restaurants and people make pad thai other than with premade sauce... The sauce from cans and jars are made out of ingredients, and the very original cookers of such foods probably also made from scratch, so of course there's a way to make from scratch. But is it easy enough (to find, buy, and cook) to be worth it? Naturally, I could have looked all this up months ago, but it wasn't until today that, I guess, I put enough thought into it to do anything other than simply going to the nearest Thai place and ordering pad thai.
Pad Seeyu (sp?!) was previously my favorte, but pad thai is much more unique in flavor... The sweetness is very pleasing! I still love pad se ew. I just find that more often I want to order/eat pad thai instead.
According to the following page's recipe, it appears that you can make pad thai with fish sauce and thick tamarind juice. If you get a chance, you may enjoy reading the bottom section.

More recipes (sort of), of different kinds, as discussed in the prvious link: http://www.thaipro.com/dir/Thai/Pad_Thai_1.html
Given that our kitchen is also our living room, I generally prefer not to cook... many things at home. Anything using oil, haha... We still do it, it just sucks. If the exhaust fan led otuside, it would be okay, but it just empties right above, over our heads.
While on the topic of food, these commercials for the Sweatheart Sonic Blast make me want to cry because there isn't a Sonic nearby at all...
