Happy Birthday, Harry!

in All Posts

My mom is in town and I couldn’t be more excited.  We spent the entire afternoon laying on the couch and talking.  We snacked on hummus, crackers, and grapes:

And then we went to our favorite Thai restaurant, Royal Thai, for my friend Harry’s birthday.  The Husband is out of town, so it was just me, Harry, and my mom.  We missed you, Husband!

I had a spring roll:

Hot jasmine tea:

And my mother and I split two curries:  Red Curry and Pa-naag, both with tofu:

It was DELICIOUS!  And the spicy food cleared up my sinuses.

 

I think the best part of this restaurant is how FAST it was.  We timed the order on Harry’s cell phone:

It took:

 

  • 2 minutes for drinks
  • 4 minutes for appetizers
  • 15 minutes for entrees

 

Insane!

 

 

At home, we each had a slice of Key Lime Pie instead of birthday cake:

Off to relax!  :) 

 

Have a lovely night.

    Key lime pie instead of birthday cake is an awesome trade off I could get behind!

    caitlin, your friends have excellent taste in sports teams—GO PHILS!!!!! Thai is one of my fave cuisines, especially when it arrives so quickly! That must be some kind of record..

  • Emily Eats and Exercises October 24, 2009, 6:57 am

    Looks like an evening of good eats. I love Thai food and it’s always good to have someone available to split with. Just wondering: you always eat such reasonable portions – is that something you struggle with (or used to) or do you generally have a smaller appetite? For me, I usually am happy eating healthy foods, but that doesn’t mean I don’t eat too much of them…

    • Caitlin October 24, 2009, 8:23 am

      i have trained myself to eat lots of small meals (or voluminous meals with low calories, like lunch). i would say i eat three meals and at least three snacks. that way, i never get hungry so i’m not really tempted to overeat at meals. i do have trouble not overeating at restaurants, i did make a conscious effort not to do it last night at dinner.

      the other trick i use is i try to remember its not my last meal. 🙂 i used to eat dessert like it was the last time i’d ever had a cookie, you know? unless its a really special meal, i just try to practice moderation.

  • Andee (Runtolive) October 24, 2009, 9:24 am

  • Morgan @ Life After Bagels October 24, 2009, 9:58 am

    I think you just gave that restauraunt a HUGE endorsement by saying how quick their service is.

    Have a super weekend!

  • Felicia October 24, 2009, 10:29 am
