Thai Travel - Casa de la SlugCrab

Undisclosed Cameron Park Location

Loosely based on the rousing success that was Thai Fu! night a few years back we decided to hold a Thai Travel night at Casa de la SlugCrab. Instead of poorly-dubbed vintage Kung Fu movies, we would be entertained by travel pictures from Jarla (recently back from Croatia) and KiwiBobs (recently back from New Zealand).

Memory cards in hand we (KiwiBobs and Shooter) made the drive to the Casa. Upon arriving we found the place inhabited by a lone Captain Crabby. Sluggy and baby Wednesday had been coerced into going to their weekend destination of Sea Ranch a day early (who can blame them?). Jarla was the next to arrive with mixers for the popular Croatian favorite Red Wine and Coke (pretty nice, like a wine-based Shandy). Nairby followed quickly after and we discovered we were down two more in the form of Nurse Scribby and her ailing Robot GoBen.

Thai food was ordered. With so many core constituents absent, the general consensus was to forgo the travel footage and just post pics on the web for all to see. Instead the recent election results were discussed (including origins of the elephant and donkey), football was watched, followed by Daily Show, American Dad and some other Tivo-ed goodness.

Thai was picked up by Crab and NakedBob and deliciously delivered back to the Casa. Tasty Pad thai, curry, pineapple fried rice, spring rolls, and tom yum soup were devoured heartily. Freaking yum. Much of it contained enough Scribby-death to really be dangerous. Here's hoping next Thursday will find all of us together again and in good health.
