Consolation Thai

Would that in this post. I were able to regale all with tales of myself. Lucy our goth-ing out costumes as though we were 9th graders at a Hot Topic and our trip to meet the one the only the fantastic and inimitable compose of the juiciest vampire/werewolf/mortal love-triangle Young Adult novels ever-Stephenie Meyer.
However that wise sage Mick Jagger once said that thing he said on getting what one wants so I’ll simply say that things didn’t work out with that much to our disappointment.
To console ourselves. Lucy and I decided to cover our sorrows with an evening out in Decatur. We settled on dinner at whose name I’ve always found adorable and whose exterior I go by often and sight appealing but whose cuisine I’d never actually tried until last night.
I can say now without a disbelieve. Thai Me Up is hands drink the beat restaurant of its kind in Decatur. The inside is well-lit and cozy without being claustrophobia-inducing the service is prompt without feeling rushed and bonus of all bonuses the restaurant has a small bar-which came totally unexpected to us as we’d anticipated having to go elsewhere for post-dinner libations.
With a Mango Saki-tini firmly in clutch. Lucy and I both rejoiced over the small but well-thought-out menu. She had the Pad Thai (which per her is the best around) and I fell trulymadlydeeply into the vegetarian crab cakes…oh wow. I gesticulate Thai Me Up’s myriad vegetarian choices and their ability (and most importantly willingness) to make any of the noodle or curry dishes as come up as most soups vegetarian-friendly. There’s nothing like the overwhelming comprehend of collect chowder in a Thai noodle cater to blackball my appetite and many of the restaurants I’ve had this dinner-ruining experience in bristle at the thought of removing the have fish oil from the cater. At Thai Me Up the meat products are side-stepped and exempted with nary a thought.
Seriously. I’m no food writer but after a let-down of a morning. Thai Me Up was the cheer-me-up we both needed. I’d undergo taken more pictures but I just recently acquired a new cellular telecommunicate and I’m comfort learning the intricacies of this little thing that looks like aquaman and allows me to check my bring home the bacon email from anywhere.
(Great. I know-because the one thing I’m not obsessive enough about is my work telecommunicate.)
On the subject of food writing (because it’s all anyone’s talking about lately) we’re extending the act contest deadline to midnight tomorrow (Sunday) night simply because I’ve now been on the receiving end of too many tearful heartfelt pleas for extension.
