Ever hate having a WHOLE post written out and then stupid computer goes bizerk and shuts down the program.
Thanks … thanks a lot.
Friday, while at work, my sissy texted me this …
Ah yes … she went to Trader Joe’s without me!! Rude! She said only got veggies and wine and waiting for me to get the good stuff. Um .. that is the good stuff! But I guess cookie butter and whatnot is good too …
But whatever … I got to go to lunch with Rose that day so all that “I’m stuck at work” went away.

We both got the Chicken Pad See Ewe [chicken or pork stir-fried with rice noodle, egg, broccoli, and bean sprouts in sweet brown sauce] | $10.95
And since we ordered from the Lunch Menu, all you can eat appetizer buffet. I got the Hot & Sour soup, some sushi, veggie eggroll, curry potato fried dumpling, and spring roll.
Knowing we were going to get dessert after, we didn’t fill ourselves up and actually had a lot of leftovers.
But in reality … to me, they weren’t up to par with any other Thai food places I’ve been to. I think they were only busy because it was lunch hour. And maybe those people came because they were thinking it would be fast service. It wasn’t. The service was pretty bad (they came out with the wrong dishes for us at first so that took a while) and the food wasn’t that amazing. Maybe we came on an off day but I wouldn’t come here again.
Enter dessert …

When I stepped foot into the store I knew I would love it … they were so organized and bright and happy! I got the red velvet, cake batter, and irish mint. I’m a less-fro-yo-more-topping type and oh em gee … they had the most toppings ever! All properly labeled and stored in their own pretty container! Rose is the opposite. More fro-yo less topping. She wasn’t a fan of some of the flavors she picked. In the end I loved it.
The spoons themselves were enough to make me happy. Just look how cute they are!
Since I’ve been home, I haven’t had many adventures and I thought that this would be it for my weekend.
Boy was I wrong …
I have to tell you-I LOVE THAI FOOD! My aunts from Thailand and when she visits she cooks for my family. The best ever! Homemade and from the heart??? Your meal looks to die for too!
Can you believe I’ve never been to a Trader Joes?! I really need to get on the bandwagon. Ive been to wholefoods and love it but I feel as if TJs is a much different experience. Whats your favorite part about TJ???
haha I’ve never been go TJ’s so I won’t be able to tell you that. 😛 Reason why I thought it was RUDE my sissy went without me!! But once I make my way over there I’ll let you know! 🙂
Menchies makes everything better! Disappointing Thai is the worse though! I’d be still needing a Thai fix!
ahh I know. such disappointment. money wasted. :/
gosh I haven’t had frozen yogurt in ages, ages!
mmm I only get it once in a few months. they can get pricey with all those toppings. 😉
Can’t beat a day that includes fro-yo! Even after disappointing Thai 🙁
