If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead Posts: 92,842 Group: Members Member #181 Joined: April 26, 2005	Just made a pot of ~~Tom K~~ Tom Kha Goong soup with shrimp. Delicious. Thai broth, red pepper, carrots, mushrooms and cilantro with coconut milk, crushed red peppers, lime juice and shrimp. Amazingly good.

This was the day after the piano party that Rosemary Two organized at Trombino's Steinway Gallery It's a favorite restaurant of mine, but I've never tried cooking Thai food. There are several Thai restaurants that I've tried. One very good one, now gone, was just a couple blocks from where my wife used to work in downtown Pittsburgh. Big Al

Next time I will use a natural peanut butter. This time all I had was MFR's Peter Pan. It lent a sweet taste to it that it does not need.

It gets better and better. Even after the third and final meal from this batch, hubby said he hopes we can have it again soon. It's addictive, and gets spicier every day.
