Xander ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
No, your too tight diamond shoes gave you pad thai!
True. But I am trying to eat out less and save money, and when I actually make an effort, the universe responds with, "No, no! We want you to be poor and overweight. Now go get some fries from Arby's, bitch."
ETA: Although I think pad thai is healthy. Is it healthy? I mean, healthier than Arby's, right?
If I gave 11am to a recruiter that contacted me as a good time to call me today and they didn't reply and haven't yet called...do I stalk by phone or by email? I've never spoken to this person--they hit on my profile on one of the job sites.
Hmm.
I'm sure pad thai is healthier than Arby's -- I mean it includes things from multiple food groups and isn't deep fat fried.
It had tofu and bean sprouts. I think that triumphs over fast food.
I think pad thai is fairly high in fat (the noodles are fried, I'm pretty sure), but still better for you than french fries, due to the food-groups thing.
ita, I'd call. Well, really, I'd think I should call, but then I wouldn't, because I hate calling people I don't know.
Did you know tofu doesn't have to be made from soybeans? Two krav students invited me over for what must have been an elaborate meal to prepare. One of the many courses featured black bean tofu which was far superior to any soy tofu I've ever tasted. Well, perhaps the problem with soy tofu is that I was never quite tasting it enough.

I emailed. She'd proposed today or tomorrow, so I sent an email saying "Since today didn't work out..." Hopefully that's proper and appropriate.
This is cool: "Serious Use for Silly String"
The troops are using silly string to spray across rooms to see if there are any trip wires strung across the room.

As I recall, MacGyver's approach was to use cigarette smoke, although of course one needs to account for the fact that he was dealing with laser-tripwires, which summoned killer robots.

Depends on if it's an employer or an independent HH. If the former, there's a danger with over-calling. If the latter, I don't think there's any harm.
The noodles aren't deep fried, though - when you make phad thai you use about a tablespoon or less of oil to saute the garlic and egg*, and about the same amount in the sauce, and then the whole thing is stir fried.
Restaurant cooking being what it is, it certainly could be very high in fat, but it doesn't have to be.
*which, when you sautee the egg and garlic in that red (colored) hot sesame oil, is about the nastiest looking thing you can imagine. But it only gets better from there.
