Day 196

The Happy: Satisfying the Thai cravings
AMERICAN GIRL'S PAD THAI STEPS
1) Obtain handful and a half of dry roasted peanuts, and 4 eggs.
2) Go to Asian market.  Buy wide rice noodles, a Pad Thai Sauce bottle, 2 limes, a handful of bean sprouts, a few green onions (scallions), and a handful of cilantro.
3) Soak half of noodle bag in warm water for 30 mins.
4) Chop bean sprouts into half chunks, green onions into quarter-inch-wide chunks, cilantro into fine chunks, and peanuts into little bits.
5) After noodle soaking, crack eggs into large hot skillet and start cooking.  Wash your hands, pick up noodles and transfer into skillet.  Stir around for 3ish mins.
6) Throw in sprouts and green onion.  Stir around.
7) Throw in half cup of water.  Cover and let steam for 45 seconds.
8) Add sauce, stirring as your add, until it tastes good.
9) Take skillet off of heat.  Throw in peanuts and cilantro.  Stir around.  Squeeze some lime.  Eat it by yourself the first time around in case it tastes funny.

It takes a very special person to mess this up.

Love, Happy Girl
