Make Meal Be Happy

We like us some Thai food.

More like love.

More like when we go to our favorite Thai place we just smile and stare at the waiter because we love him SO much just for working at a place that serves amazecakes food.  Also because we have the same waiter every time and when he brings the food to the table he acts like he has a big surprise for you.

Our spot is Nit Noi.  Their hot and sour soup reigns on the throne of all that is hot and sour.  Don’t argue, just go.

We rarely make our own Thai food because one time I tried when we first got married and I won’t tell you what Devin said it did to him.

Over a year later, we tried homemade Thai again (not the same recipe as mentioned above…it is forbidden).

Sweet. little. baby. Moses. in a basket.

Unbelievable.
