After a couple of long days at the show....




It's time for some Thai food.

After the show and fabric shopping on Tuesday we went to NineD for some Thai. I was gonna cook but I was too exhausted so the wife said lets eat out. We were there early and got the window seat which is important because they don't like to turn on the fuckin air conditioner. There was a beautiful breeze so it was very pleasant.

We do what we always do which is order off the menu. We had normal appetizers. Springs. Veggie dumplings. Barbequed beef strips with a hot dipping sauce. But we went a little different with the entrees.

I had basil fried rice with beef which had egg and peas and chunks of beef in rice with spicy Thai basil mixed. Very hot and spicy and delicious.

The wife did something different. She ordered another serving of the barbequed beef with some brown rice and a big plate of sautéed broccoli in garlic sauce. She mixed them all together and made her own special dish.

It was slow on Tuesday night early so Amy the owner sat with us for an hour just shooting the breeze. You know small business stuff. Employees suck. Con Edison raising prices. Having to get rid of the TV because cable costs too much. You know the usual.

We were able to have a relaxing dinner at one of our favorite joints. And the words Marco Polo were not involved. Ha.

Few things are better at the end of a long day than a quiet dinner out, especially if the restaurant isn't noisy and overly lit.

Do people actually watch television anymore?

Only on DVR or Net flicks late at night before we go to sleep.

Yeah, love me some Thai food. A few good places in San Diego that do Thai really well and oddly enough not owned by chinese or mexicans, but actual Thai.
