Cooking
This was something we made purely because Matt loves Thai food.
And with that endless supply of mint in our garden, it was simply too good an opportunity to pass up. Plus, it's kind of pretty, isn't it?
We swapped out a couple of ingredients, using soy sauce instead of fish sauce, and I think we either skipped the cilantro entirely (we hate the herb) or substituted parsley.
And we made a vegetarian version, of sorts, for me, using Morningstar Farms Meal Starters. Of course, I'm not quite the fan of Thai flavors Matt is, so my dinner was somewhat modified to fit my requirements.
Matt must have enjoyed it; he ate two servings in what seemed like minutes. So, yeah...give this one a try.
Today is the LAST day to join this month's Blog Party! We're taking on the Wild, Wild West, and hope you'll join us.

- We Have Cake!
It's all over. While again, not perfect, I think the small changes I made to the cake were improvements. So what am I doing today? Baking a cake. Of course. Blog Party#22 is here, and this month, we're taking on the Wild, Wild West! Turn...
- Man Food: Getting Ready
So, Blog Party#11 is this weekend, and in a sort of preparation, we put together some rather tasty Chili Dogs. Matt made chili, both a beef and vegetarian version, using a recipe from (appropriately enough) The Way to a Man's Heart: Romantic Recipes...
- I'm Back!
Yes, I am here. With things to blog about. First up; a really fast and easy recipe from Rachel Ray, Thai Glazed Chicken Lettuce Wraps. I'm not kidding. Once everything is chopped, which is often the case with Asian food, it was mere minutes from...
