I've recently become obsessed with pad thai. I have a great friend, who is currently very far away riding a motorcycle back home (please, get home safe!), who first introduced me to pad thai. We were getting carry out to take to a friend's house before a St. Patrick's Day party earlier this spring and couldn't decided what we wanted. He usually gets chicken pad thai and I get red curry with tofu and vegetables. But, we both got a little bored. So, we went halfises. Best choice ever.
Now, I order pad thai with tofu and vegetables at from our local thai restaurant. It feels so indulgent. It's sweet and tangy and savory. And with tofu and vegetables it's even a little healthy. I've been meaning for a long time to try my hand at pad thai, so I could have it whenever I want. But, there's usually a bit of a skirmish over who gets to cook, but I found an opening - so I grabbed it.
