I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

As soon as I read this sentence I just KNEW that it was going to be Thai Express.

"Shack" is a dead giveaway, for sure. Now I kind of want to order dinner from there.

It turns out the mr. flea works with the woman who runs Thai Express' husband.

This really is the biggest small town ever.

It's located right next the UC campus and on the corner where there two theatres are located and where my office was in grad school, so the halls often had that unique odor of Thai Express. I'm in Cincinnati for USITT in March, I wonder if I can make it up there for some Thai Express while I'm in town. I will definitely be having some Skyline.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

If the food is so good that an LAista, living in the midst of an embarrassment of culinary riches, remembers it fondly seventeen years later, I'm seriously impressed. If you put in a pitch for Cincinnati for a future F2F, this should definitely be prominently mentioned.

Also, Tep, your tag kind of breaks my heart and I love it.

(1) Let us know if you have time to get together. (2) You will not recognize the general Calhoun/McMillan St. area. It still throws me off when I drive through there, and I saw all the development happening.

They tore down Lenhardt's/Christy's, for example. It looks sort of like a mall over there now. Also, there is an Urban Outfitters in what used to be the Korean Church.

I feel like the only landmarks left are the YMCA and Thai Express. And Uncle Woody's.

I'm still sad that In the Woods (I think that is the name) is gone. I was there sometime in the mid 2000's and I barely recognized that area.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I can serve her a plate of her favorite things and she just picks at it. So frustrating.

There were times when Matilda seemed to have the same metabolism as Spanish Moss and could subsist on air and moisture skimmed from the top of the humidity index.

But now she's hitting a growth spurt, so she's actively chowing down. Plus, getting her a thermos instead of packing sandwiches in her lunch has made a big difference because she loves chicken soup and rice and beans and pad thai in her lunch, and never ate her sandwiches. (This is very sad for me as you might imagine.)

Emmett had a narrow but consistent food range for a long time until he hit his growth spurt and then he was basically Nibbler from Futurama.

I have proof in the form of my cousin's son that a child can grow to be 6'3" on a diet of meat and bread.
