This week I was taken to dinner to eat "passionate food"! My friend and I walked to a great local Thai Place. We ordered Tom Yum soup as an appetizer. The show truly started and ended right there! With my first sip my cheeks and lips puckered from the sour flavor, then came the heat from the chilis, then a kiss of sweet and finally the subtle caress of lemongrass. When my friend asked if I liked it, lost in food ecstasy, I was unable to respond. I had another sip and ... the same thing happened again. When I finally opened my eyes the first thing I saw was her smile. As I looked around the world came back into focus. I noticed I could feel the skin behind my ears...I could feel my breasts tingling. Wow! I don't remember ever having body sensations like this from food!!! A small bowl was enough for two to share (and was under $5)! Visit Chanon Thai (278 East 900 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111) for this show-stopping culinary experience or make it yourself at home! I ♥ food! I am now curious to find ways to live the Tom Yum experience in my everyday life.

Being Tom Yum

Yep, that's Paula's and my favorite Thai restaurant in town. Its also the favorite of our friend Elle, who's native Thai. She says its the most "authentic".
p.s. Thai food makes my breasts tingle, too. ^______^
Oh Dan! Thanks for writing! I'm excited to learn that they get the stamp of authenticity! Your boob comment is cracking me up!
