memoirs of a palate

MIXED BAG





Meena and I couldn't quite agree on the same thing for dinner so we did a split - I cooked, she picked up some Tara Thai. Well, I guess it gets even more hybrid that that - I had some soup from Tara Thai, so I guess I had both delivery and a couple things I cooked. Convoluted. Anyway, Meena got:
- chicken pad thai (spicy)
- tom yum koong

Alec also had the tom yum koong from Tara and made a sandwich and some "slaw" on the side. The first sandwich half:
- whole-wheat bread
- homemade pickled onions
- fresh mozzarella

Sandwich half number two:
- whole-wheat bread
- homemade pickled onions
- australian aged cheddar

And the slaw featured:
- carrots
- green onions
- MORE pickled onions
- white vinegar
- wasabi powder
- sesame seeds

Everything I made could be classified as edible. Probably even good (not bad for a monday night, right?). I could have cooked the sandwiches at a little lower heat. That would have kept the bread from burning and made the cheese a bit more bubbly. But it was really good. Good ingredients = good dinner. The slaw was great. I'd make that again for sure.

Tara Thai was perfect. Always is. We were full and ready for another action packed Bauer Hour.
