In a van.... down by the river
Every time I have Thai food, I get pad Thai. I can’t help myself. It seems dumb. There must be other good options.
I alwasy get curry. Massaman, Panang, green, red, yellow. On occasion I'll get pad ped, which is a nice spicy stir-fry. Oh - and I'll usually get larb kai as an appetizer if they have it.

Occasionally I'll get crispy duck stir fried with basil. Not sure if that's any sort of "authentic" dish... but it's delicious. :drool:

@stoney in case you're not all over what @Pesqueeb was sayin' there, go through Costco Auto Program. You are a well documented Executive Member. Put that to use.

If nothing else, use the costco price to leverage another dealer you might like better. Also, be sure to check Boulder. Those hippies move a lot of Leaf's (leaves?) so you might get a better deal there.

Cool. I went through that via CTY/SET, which is out of Johns Hopkins. Full SAT from age 10 onward.

Fun fact: at age 10 on the pre-recentering SAT I scored higher than John Kerry and George W Bush did as high school seniors.
