Adventures in Thai Food: December 2009

http://adventuresinthaifood.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Adventures in Thai Food. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. My mouth is still tingling.mmm. I was excited to try Ban Thai in White Bear Lake. I've seen very mixed reviews on the restaurant; positive from Lazy Lightning. And negative from Twin Cities Restaurant Blog. I also tried to go there once already, to find it closed due to a death in the family. His knowledge of the menu and different dishes was impressive. He was right about the spice level- I might not have been able to eat the meal if it was a 4! I've ...

Adventures in Thai Food: November 2010

http://adventuresinthaifood.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Adventures in Thai Food. Monday, November 1, 2010. Thai Spoon- Downtown Chicago. I arrived in Chicago as one of Target’s representatives at the NSHMBA Conference (National Society of Hispanic MBAs) and had a little time to kill before our team member training and needed some lunch. I decided to go for a walk around the hotel to find something to eat and to my delight, there was a Thai restaurant two blocks away! Spice level: order higher than normal. Thai Spoon and Sushi. 632 South Wabash Avenue.

Adventures in Thai Food: March 2011

http://adventuresinthaifood.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Adventures in Thai Food. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Thai- Cancun, Mexico. Recently, I was able to spend an entire week with my parents and a few friends in gorgeous Cancun. While there, we of course enjoyed Thai food. The restaurant we went to was called.Thai. Definitely not getting any points for creativity! Unfortunately, the food was totally fine (fine is NOT a good thing coming from me) and was extremely expensive. I've never paid $30 for a dish before and the food was definitely just okay.

Adventures in Thai Food: February 2010

http://adventuresinthaifood.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Adventures in Thai Food. Sunday, February 28, 2010. I had been anxious to try Rice Paper in the super cute Linden Hills area of South Minneapolis. The decor was great and the walls were covered with a picture mural of a forest (see below), but the service and food were disappointing. First of all, they were out of SEVERAL items! We tried to order an appetizer, out! I tried to order an entree, out! I was like.c'mon, you can't be running out of everything? Price: above average ($13-$18). 2726 W 43rd St.

Adventures in Thai Food: January 2010

http://adventuresinthaifood.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Adventures in Thai Food. Sunday, January 24, 2010. I knew before we arrived that I would order Pad See Yew (Rice noodles or egg noodles stir fried with egg, broccoli, napa cabbage, soy sauce, garlic and spices). A few years back, I ordered this dish to split with a friend and we ordered a 3 out of 4 for spice. It was so insanely hot that we couldn't eat it and they had to remake it (we felt HORRIBLE! Decor: really nice- great for a date! Spice level: right on! 3001 Hennepin Avenue S. Minneapolis, MN 55408.

Cedar Staff Blog: When DID we turn that corner?

http://cedarmusicblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/when-did-we-turn-that-corner.html

Tuesday, March 30, 2010. When DID we turn that corner? Another fine performance by Habib Koite and Bamada. Last night. Some audience members might have been itching for more high energy dance tunes, but I very much enjoyed the rather mid-tempo set they turned it. Chock full of great balafon work, although I'm pretty sure that was not. Back there, it was also highlighted by the band pulling out more trad instruments like a smallish kora, and a kamale ngoni. OK, I'm over my crush on the Smoke Fairies.

Cedar Staff Blog: Quick Dispatch from Austin

http://cedarmusicblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/quick-dispatch-from-austin.html

Saturday, March 20, 2010. Quick Dispatch from Austin. I'll have to save my more extensive SXSW post for my return, but here's a quick update. I have one very long day to go, which I think is about as much as this body can handle. But of course I've got some favorites *so far.* The Thursday night set by Efterklang. From Denmark is on the top of my list. If their set was any indication, their new record on 4AD. Comes in somewhere between sigur rós. British folk singer Jackie Oates. Much more will follow!
