2020-39 || easiest but not happiest

I'm not huge on Thai food, and out of the all the Asian cuisines, I would normally go for something else. Not sure why, maybe a bad experience previously.  We felt adventurous and wanted to try out something new though, because how many times can we visit Pho Vy in a week? H suggested we expand outside of our comfort zone and give Baan Thai a try.

They have great "wok air". The medium spicy is almost too much for me to handle, but doesn't overpower all the spices and flavors. If you're sensitive to spicy food like me, go for the mild. 

We ordered the lunch specials - red curry with chicken (gaeng pak), pad thai, stiry fry (phad khing), because those seem to be a better deal. Lunch specials come with a crispy freshly fried spring roll, as well, and I can eat these everyday. 

We also ordered one of the fried rice options to try out something off the lunch special menu, and it was pretty good too. Lunch specials are the way to go though (better deal).

I'm extremely happy we tried something new.  

It might be easiest to stick with the same old restaurants, the tried and true routines, walking the same route to the same places, where we can order without even looking at the menu, but it might not yield the best result. Sometimes, you need to dig yourself out of your deep deep rut, just climb out of that ditch, and move all your luggage with you to a new place to for fresh experiences. 

I also think sometimes that it would have been so much easier if we didn't have a baby yet, and if we had waited just a little bit longer to figure out a more ideal living situation. Travelling and moving would be so much easier. Would we have been happier though? 

I imagine not. It's delightful to watch her try to flip over and get stuck.


Splurged on the Lovevery play gym recently. So far, she likes it, but still gets bored after maybe 30 minutes.
