I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Bon voyage, Perkins! Happy book launch, Allyson!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, SFO has a dim sum place right by my gate that was open at 8:30. Ridiculously expensive, but I had bao. BAO! I haven't had bao since we moved.
I also had an empty seat next to me on the way here. Fingers crossed it happens again on my next flight. Which is in...two hours.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
mmm, bao.
What are people doing this weekend?

Because books.
Someone needs to give me a primer on not-too-spicy Thai food I could try. We have at least four Thai places in town.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This weekend depends on how I feel. Currently I feel like crap. But if it perks up, book signing and ice cream tasting.

Massaman curry should be safe. I also like panang, but you might want to check with each restaurant about spice level.
Pad thai. Maybe larb, which is a cold salad with ground meat, depending on how many peppers they put in it.

Thanks, Dana!
White Castle is definitely nasty. But sometimes ratburgers are just what you need after a night out drinking. ::nods::

I can't stomach the smell of the White Castle burger. If I had been drinking it'd be even worse.
Fuddrucker's has excellent fries. Nice and thick and seasoned. I am glad to have one near me.
Amy, I'd ask the restaurants. I know some stuff isn't supposed to be too spicy, but it varies from place to place.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was also going to suggest massaman curry or pad thai. Dumplings and fried rice dishes are usually pretty safe (and dumplings almost always come with some kind of sweet dipping sauce to counter the spicy).
