Pretty Fly for some Tasty Thai


... Spicy Thai Mixed Veggies that is! 

This week I was really craving some of the fresh bright flavors of Thailand in the worst way! The spicy, the salty, the sour, the YUM!  And seeing I need to save every dollar possible if I have any hope of trying to visit Sicily this May (An AMAZING study abroad opportunity that I desperately want to go on!), what is a poor hungry girl to do?

Is it bird? Is it a plane? No..... IT'S MARK BITTMAN TO THE RESCUE!



Now let the cooking begin!!!
