Drunkard's Noodles

Today I am craving Thai food with every ounce of my being. I can't stop thinking about it, so in the spirit of Julia Child's would-be 100th birthday, I'm going to try making my own Pad Kee Mao aka "Drunkards Noodles". I found an awesome recipe in The New York Times and another from Use Real Butter. I'll probably combine them based off what I have in my fridge already and make my own version. I could go to one of the many Thai places by my house but that would mean no pajamas and no Ernie. Pass. Wish me luck!

HUNGER GAMES

Grilled Zucchini Ribbon Salad recipe: here

Ok. I'm hungry. Don't get me wrong, the juices have been great but I'm sick of drinking. I'm not thirsty. At all. I'm hungry...but I'm also determined not to break this juice fast. So instead of eating food I have been looking at all the delicious things I would love to eat online. Torturous? Yes. But in a small way it makes me feel a little better. So I have to share with you some of the things I've found. Starting with a couple salads. These salads look simple to make and so delicious. They would be perfect for lunch or a light dinner.  Enjoy —seriously, because I can't :(

MISSING INGREDIENTS?

I wish I would have found this list sooner! I hate starting a recipe only to find I'm short on ingredients. Never will I make a late night run to the grocery store again!!! HUZZZZAH
