Ling is right smack in her first month pregnancy blues, what with round the clock bouts of nausea (she\u2019s BTW glad that I can do most of Hannah\u2019s chores including feeding and bathing, except for brushing teeth that I still can\u2019t get a handle of). For dinner this evening, she quipped that she needed extra-spicy food to help mask those inclinations to vomit. So, she asked for Thai food.<\/p>\n

As it happens, there\u2019s a delightful little Thai stall situated at a coffee shop near my workplace. We\u2019ve checked out the place before for dine-in lunches and takeout dinners already, and the fare is decent. This time round though, the wife and I had a massive miscommunication about what we both wanted, and she ended up ordering food enough for four adults when it\u2019s just 2 1\/4 adults between the three of us, at most.<\/p>\n

Where’s Matt to help us eat all this food? There’s beef noodles, green curry, olive fried rice, Thai fish cake, tom yam soup, white rice, and a plate of fish cakes!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Half an hour of struggle later and while I was driving back, I wheezed:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to ever want to touch Thai food again for a month.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ling went:<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so bloated I\u2019m going to merlion. Where\u2019s the plastic bag\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon which Hannah chimed in and declared:<\/p>\n

\u201cDinner was very good. I like it!\u201d<\/p>\n

So there.:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
