My workout playlists are so embarrassing (but awesome). Actually, my taste in music in general is pretty much the same (Kevin would disagree on the “awesome” part).
Confession: all week I’ve been working out to the Backstreet Boys station on Pandora.
Confession: I miss 90s pop music.
This week has been full of lunches out with friends, and I have been satiating a serious Pad Thai craving. On Monday, the craving hit, so I went to Thai Café with my friend Katie. We started out with some chicken on skewers. The chicken was coated in curry and had a peanut glaze on them.
The chicken was really tender, and the extra side of peanut sauce was a nice addition. Peanut sauce is pretty much a nice addition to anything. My Pad Thai came with a salad with ginger dressing. I ordered my Pad Thai at medium spiciness and with tofu. The noodles definitely had a kick.
Then on Tuesday I chipped away at the craving again with a trip to Bento with my neighbor Joe. We’re also work neighbors, which makes for perfect lunch buddies.
I actually ordered the Pad Thai as a brown rice bowl, and I really liked the heartiness the rice gave the dish. There were still noodles, but the combination was nice. Bento’s Pad Thai is a sweeter dish than Thai Café. The flavor I prefer usually just depends on my mood. I did really enjoy the green onions in Bento’s Pad Thai.
Today Kevin and his brothers are preparing for the NFL draft, which made it the perfect day for me to get a manicure. I went to The Beauty Spot in College Park, and they did a great job. We have our engagement photo shoot tomorrow, so I felt like I should do something with my nails.
I don’t often get my nails done because I’m a nail biter, but it was a nice treat.
I’m off to join the boys for draft festivities. Have a great evening!
Are you watching the NFL draft tonight?
How often do you get manicures?
Yey for Pad Thai! That’s usually Will’s default dish at any Thai place. By the way, have you tried Thai House on Colonial?! It’s slowly becoming our go-to restaurant!
I love that you have a Back Street Boys station. I have some backstreet boys on some of my playlists as well : )
I’ve never had Pad Thai before but it’s something that I’ve always wanted to try. I love your nails!!! Good luck with the engagement shoot
I love getting manicures but I too am a nail bitter, a habit I keep trying to break but fail miserably at. I need to go get a mani/pedi this weekend though, totally need it!
Gorgeous nail polish shade! I’m a nail biter, but when I get them done, I usually leave them alone.
You better believe I watched the draft!!
that all looks soooo delicious! i finally got thai food again last week at work but am now craving some of that delish satay! and pad thai!
Your nails look gorgeous!!!!! I have shellac right now but it’s almost coming off.
boo! i do them only occasionally. but i love having them done!
I love that color! I get a manicure once a month because I do Gelish, and that’s about as long as I can go before my nails grow out too much and start looking narsty.
