A joint birthday at Pig and Khao
By the time you read this, I’ll be 52 years old.
Whoa…
Not only did the Firecracker live just a few blocks south of my pad when we first met, but she and I were also surprised that our birthdays were only a little more than a week apart.
So, this year, we decided to do a joint celebration in-between our two birthdays at Pig and Khao, just a few blocks from us.
My buddy Panda used to talk about how great the food was there, so I was looking forward to it – he’s a foodie and I trust him.
The food did not disappoint……although some dishes were pretty spicy for the Firecracker’s taste.
Me: I’m not sure you can eat this.
Her: (shrugs) Well, let’s find out. (a few seconds later, she turns red and coughs) Nope!
Luckily, the drinks were strong and cooling…
…plus, because it was our birthday celebration(s), they comped us some jello shots, which were fun.
But the star of the show was the ribeye steak we ordered, which – because it was our birthday celebration – I had with my first bowl of rice in at least a year.
Her: This coconut rice is amazing!
Me: God, yes. I can’t remember the last time I had a whole bowl of rice.
Her: Wait, your bowl’s empty, you’re eating mine. Hey!
Me: I’m just trying to save you a few carbs.
We ended the night with a dessert for her and a pickleback shot for me.
I think she may’ve enjoyed her selection more than I did mine.
Here’s hoping it’s the first of years worth of joint birthdays.
Location: the gym, trying not to get more injured
Mood: hoping
