I want to have dinner at your house! Your recipes always look tasty and original!

Everyone at work always wonders why I'm not feeding them as well :D

I guess it's because I get so bored making the same things, so every weekend I make my grocery list and spend like an hour looking online for new recipes! We had falafel the other night but I don't find that very exciting so I didnt post that ;)

I love pad thai!!!

Mmm Pad Thai! I remember one time I made a bet with a friend as to whether I could make good pad thai or not. He was forced to concede that I could.

You know what goes in there really well is Tamarind juice but it's a bit hard to come by.

Oh i know! I had another recipe just like that with the only difference is that it asked for a little tamarind juice, and I couldn't find it ANYWHERE! I figure maybe the asian foods grocery store probably has it but it's in Boston so finding parking is pretty much not an option! I hate to venture down there just for one thing :\

It would be worth it. The asian items you are paying for in the grocery store are highly marked up and you can also get more "ethnic" asian items at the market as well.

I know - I try to send my boyfriend over there when he works in the southern part of the city! He always gets 2 grocery bags full of stuff for like $12 :)

Any ideas for what I can use instead of fish sauce?
