8 Random (food) Things About Me

Tagged by Annalisa, I think I might have food on my mind this morning...

1.  I love Thai food. A few years ago Jim and I went to a restaurant called Thaifoon. I was beyond excited to find a dish on the menu called Evil Jungle Princess. Seriously. Evil Jungle Princess! At that point it honestly didn’t matter what was in the dish. I had to order such a thing.

2.  It was a wickedly spicy red curry. But I smiled the whole time I ate.

3.  I discovered a spicy curry dish at Pei Wei that seems to be a tamed down Evil Jungle Princess.

4.  I crave it frequently.

5.  I recently found a recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala, an Indian dish that I learned to love at a place Ras introduced me to (remember those days?!). I made it yesterday, and it was so delish. The recipe definitely delivered.

6.  But I did feel bad for my dinner exchanging partner whose family definitely didn’t enjoy the Indian spices.

7.  But then she promised me her leftovers, and that evened out my feeling bad in a warped sort of way.

8.  I also recently tried a recipe for Chinese barbecued pork. Heavenly.

Oh you definitely have food on your mind. And it all sounds delicious. I went to Thaifoon once and it was delicious. I can't remember what I ordered, but I would have remembered if it were Evil Jungle Princess.

Anything spicy is right up my alley and I am really craving chinese food today.

[Kelly]

You could have titled this 8 Random Thoughts about Asian Food. It all sounds delish. Evil Jungle Princess? That is quite a name. If I ever invent a recipe, I'm going to name it Secret Asian Man -- even if it's cookies.

I don't enjoy Thai food or curry or funky spices at all. All the adventurous-eating genes in my family went to my sister Robyn--she loves the stuff!

[carlo]

yum! your post is making me so hungry and i really should be making dinner anyway ...

[Marie]

I am not a curry/spicy fan at all. I just can't handle it. My eyes water, my nose runs, my mouth shoots fire... Not pleasant.

The last one looked wonderful though.

I definately would have ordered Evil Jungle Princess. I would have hated it, but the name would have made me so happy.

[Barb]

All your food looks great to me. I'm making a curry tonight.

[Mandi]

It wasn't that bad and I'm sure if I weren't pregnant and didn't have a hard time stomaching any food, then I may have liked it - in England, our cook made curry and I always loved and looked forward to curry night. So, for now, enjoy your leftovers and thank you for dinner anyway.

My Epiphany: we need to leave the littles behind and meet for a Thai/Indian lunch. Yes?

[Tiffany]

You have more adventurous tastes than I do for sure! What fun food, though!

[Megan]

Email me the recipe for the chinese barbecue pork recipe. That looks really good.

[Shanon]

I think I could easily make a list of my top 100 foods! And most would be deserts! You don't even have 1 on here. You are amazing and need to teach me how to cook!

[Wanda]

I think you should make steak for those dinner partners of yours. Yes, steak with some baked potatoes a nice salad and a German Chocolate cake for the old sweet tooth would be good. Cherry Coke is always good for the digestion.

[Emily]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has food on the brain, often!

[Amy]

Jordan, you name the time!

"Wanda", I think you're a better steak griller than I am!! I'll definitely bring the German chocolate though for my similar sweet tooth!

[Elizabeth]

I would love that recipe for the Marsala. Yum!

I love Thai food also. I have been craving it a lot lately.

[jenny c.]

We HEART Thai food as well. Those food dishes are making my mouth water!

[michelle]

I LOVE Thai food as well. I've had Evil Jungle Prince -- do you think it's different from Princess??

[Lucy]

I love Thai food. I tried making a yummy curry last week. It smelled just right but the taste was bland. Hotter than heck, though! Woo-hee!
