Thai food and me

juldeaJust added to my juldea 101 post (which is at the top of my journal in a friends-locked post, if you didn't know):
I love Thai food. This is best described with a brief anecdote: During college, when I lived in campus housing and thus only a short walk from campus, a small Thai restaurant called Pad Thai opened along the route between my apartment and campus. Pad Thai served a lunch special for $5.01 that was rice-or-pad-thai with two choices of main dish and (I think) a spring roll. I began stopping there for lunch regularly on the way to class. Then more regularly. Then I was eating there every weekday for lunch. Then they began giving me extra options for the dishes than were usually offered, often going out of their way to make me something special, as well as giving me larger portions and things like free Thai iced tea. Then I began paying them weekly for my daily lunches (paying $25.05 on Monday.) Then they began only charging me for four days (paying $20.04 on Monday.) Then one semester I went to a first day of a new class and someone recognized me as the girl from Pad Thai. This arrangement went on for at least 8 months until I went away to Boston for the summer, and when I returned my schedule was a bit more screwy and I couldn't make it there every day again. But I still could have eaten Thai food every day, and chances are if you ever want to go out for Thai and need company, you need only but ask.
