Loyal followers of this blog know that the best Thai food on Nantucket can be found at Siam-to-Go at the Ice Rink. On our return to Sarasota we have gone out for Thai a couple of times but with the Christmas Holidays, it just seems a little out of place. We have had Middle Eastern Hummus and Babaganoush a few times, but then again, these dishes were more likely what was served at Jesus' home than turkey and cranberry sauce. Thai food? Not likely. Buddha's home? Probably had something like Pad Thai. Moses...this brings me to that important historical fact...We are living in the 2010th year AD. In the Hebrew calendar, this is the year 5771...which means that there was a 3000 year period in history that Jews couldn't order chinese food. For those of the Italian persuasion, spaghetti is a Chinese invention. We have had a lot of pasta since returning to Sarasota. My favorite family-style restaurant, Demetrio's, is a regular stop. After New Year's and well after the Winter Solstice (Saturnalia) on December 25th, We will once again go to Pacific Rim, or Bangkok, or Thailand and order something "Hot" with a Sapporo beer and a dish of edamame. In the meantime... Honeybaked ham. roast turkey, and all the trimmings, just like we had on Thanksgiving, will have to do.
