Osha Thai (Geary)

Mmm...Osha. This small San Francisco chain is on my short list of lunch spots when I don't have leftovers to eat. It's close by, there's never a crowd, and I don't have to make J come along (because he doesn't like Thai food).

I love pad thai. It's cliche, but a nicely prepared plate of pad thai is spicy, salty, tangy, and just a little sweet. I'm a noodle lover, so this rates fairly high on my list of comfort foods.

Remodel update: we put our first drops of sweat equity into our new home this weekend. J and I spent the better part of the weekend visiting hardware stores and Home Depot so we could start restoring our bathroom. Short explanation: a LOT of paint stripper was involved. Anyone who's worked with the stuff will understand our pain. The fumes are vicious, it makes your skin feel funny even through gloves, it's tedious to work with, and it's a p.i.t.a. to clean up afterwards. We're not quite done, but I think the worst is over. We are very proud of our first foray into DIY!
