Today was rough. It was just a really, really long day, with lots of stuff going on in the office. In fact, this is how I looked most of the day:
And yes, those are phone photos. (Note to any co-workers reading: I did this shortly before lunch, so it wasn’t on company time 
Luckily, my buddy Jen came to rescue me for a much-needed lunch away from the office. We decided to cash in her Groupon for Surin, a delicious Thai place downtown.
I started with a cup of coconut tofu soup.
Jen said she doesn’t really care for the soup, but I love it! It’s spicy and sweet, with little chunks of mushroom and tofu. It’s especially good if you have a cold, FYI.
For my entree, I went with the Thai Noodle, with tofu instead of chicken.
It was fantastic. The tofu was a great stand-in for chicken. I love the peanuts in this; they really make the dish for me.
Jen went with the Pad See-U.
Isn’t she adorable?? Just as adorable were her flat egg noodles and broccoli sauteed in soy sauce. Oh, and see that precious sunbeam? While I do think of Jen as my personal ray of sunshine, that was actual sun being reflected off a car hood directly into my for the last half of lunch. Blarg!
Now I’m headed off to bed to dream my little dreams. Question: Do you bring your lunch to work, go home, or go out frequently? I live really close, so I go home a lot, but I also like to take advantage of lunch hour gym classes and often bring my lunch. I’ll be dining on these leftovers tomorrow for sure.
I’ll be having my leftovers tomorrow! I did try to block that sun from your face, but I would’ve been contorted at a weird angle. haha. I love going out to lunch. It’s a huge fault of mine! I just like escaping the office. But lately I’ve been running errands (consignment shop, even grocery shopping) during lunch and eating something I brought from home at my desk later. Trying to save money!
Oh, there was nothing you could’ve done. Small price to pay for having lunch with one of my favorite gals
