I’ve been running around like a crazy person the last couple of days – leaving the house super early and getting home really late. In my exhaustion tonight, I had a craving for comfort food: green curry chicken. None of the Thai places in my neighborhood do green curry particularly well, so I decided to try a spot I’ve heard good things about that’s about a ten-minute drive from my apartment. I got all excited and ordered pad thai, too, figuring then I’d have both variety for tonight and leftovers for later.
But traffic from San Francisco to Oakland was brutal, and I went from pretty hungry to painfully and uncomfortably starving while on the road. Then I started feeling really sick, and remembered that I’d forgotten to take my acid reflux meds twice in a row because of my insane schedule. I went to pick up the food, but as I was finally walking in the door at home I had waves of nausea and could feel the acid backing up my throat. Ugh. Suddenly Thai — which was supposed to be a treat as I hadn’t gotten take-out dinner in weeks — sounded uttery awful, and yet I was so hungry I had to eat immediately. I made my best guess and went for the pad thai.
Fortunately, it was very very mild. I think if I’d been feeling any better it would have been *too* mild, but noodles and eggs and tofu turned out to be an OK solution to the problem at hand. I ate all of it alarmingly quickly. My stomach is making some curious noises but so far everything seems to be under control. I put the green curry in the fridge for another day. I’m hoping it’s good! But now I just need to get to bed as soon as possible. And of course to remember to take the acid reflux pill…

Oh you poor thing acid reflux is no fun. But Pad Thai is always the right dish!
