quiet day

 
Dinner plans changed for last night, and we ended up at a Thai restaurant in Merivale instead.  The restaurant was really yummy, we had been there before, but I had a mad craving for Italian.  There were 8 of us at dinner, and we ordered 7 Thai dishes and shared them over rice.  It was a nice way to try lots of new foods.  We had 2 chicken pad thais, prawn fried rice, a beef salad, a calamari dish, beef jungle curry, and a vegetable and chicken peanut dish.  The spice was just right and there was just enough food for everyone.  
   
Thai food is really really popular here and the restaurant we ate at last night, Merry Thai, is rated one of the best.  It is a quaint dining room, and the food is affordable, but fancy and fast.  It was a good night spent with new friends!
   
We've spent most of today getting ready for the work week...grocery shopping, catching up on internet correspondence, talking with our families, etc.  We have to work the whole week while most of you will be celebrating Thanksgiving with a couple of days off in the states...lucky!!!
