use real butter

I’ve turned the corner on this whole quitting my job and not having one anymore thing. Feeling better about things and able to function again.

This afternoon I drove into Boulder to run a few errands and meet up with Jeremy for happy hour. A half hour later, Beth joined us! Happy hour for me is definitely more about the food than the booze. We ordered some shrimp, some crab, some calamari, some fondue, and then… a sundae.

I made my red curry today. I was so excited about the broccoli, peanuts, potatoes, onions, and beef… But when it was done, I was done with it. I mean, I didn’t want to eat it. This has also been a problem that has been plaguing me – disinterest in food! Augggh.

i added the flank steak last since i prefer it tender

It’s really full looking because this can of curry paste was pretty spicy – even for me. I added another can of coconut milk to take the edge off. It merely moved the edge back!

This evening, we reviewed Chez Thuy after work. It is a Vietnamese restaurant. Interestingly, most of the Asian places I’ve eaten at don’t put much investment in “service”. In fact, the places that serve the best Chinese food are notoriously rude and disinterested in the customers. But the Chinese clientele couldn’t care less – they don’t go to a Chinese restaurant for service, they go for a good bargain on awesome food. They are as equally rude and inconsiderate to their servers and other guests as the servers and other guests are to them (mostly in the serious Asian burbs of SF or LA). Go figure.
