Weird Accents and Pad Thai

So - I was unsure how the old vlog would go over but no one wrote an email telling me I harassed their eyes so we're all good on that front. I got a lot of comments asking me about my accent and what the heck it is. Basically, I'm a mutt. American people think I sound weird and English people think I sound extra weird. I'm totally that kid who gets picked last for dodge ball and I don't fit in anywhere.

Hubby liked all his comments. Seriously guys, you gave him such a big head. I swear he's walking around so much prouder today. I've never edited comments before but I'm going to have to go in and delete every reference to a hot, hunky, or funny husband. I spend a lot of time convincing him he's lucky to have me. Don't screw that up for me. 

I think my favorite compliments were the ones where the commenters said I was "real." Really, if I was going to make up a fake blog persona it would be so much cooler than this. It wouldn't be that hard, honestly.

 Last night hubby suggested sushi for dinner but my fiscally responsible (aka boring and biatchy) side came out and said no - too many house expenses going on right now and we had plenty of groceries at home. I tried to make it up to him by making some Pad Thai instead. I thought the chopped peanuts and fresh lime would make up for the slight lack of authenticity, but it definitely tasted a little off - thanks to some missing bean sprouts.

 

Two different stores tried to sell me alfalfa sprouts and brussell sprouts instead. Um, no. I tossed in some edamame instead so there could be a vegetable present at dinner. The hint of green made me feel better about eating sweet and salty fried noodles. 

Heads up to everyone - sadly, the lovely Redonk Runner won't be able to run the Publix Marathon this March. So she has offered another reader the chance to win - thanks to Random.org I picked Gracie from How I Complicated My Life Today. Congrats! Send me an email if you are still interested in running the race for free on March 18th. 

Do you have an accent? What things do you say differently?

I guess a slight one...it's funny though because some things I say with SUCH an American accent, and others the Brit comes through. I got made fun of as a kid for how I said the letter "H" and I never got it. I still forget which way to pronounce it now. Haich or aich?

Do you like Thai Food? Favorite dish?

So much! I know some people consider Pad Thai to be the most boring, simple dish on every Thai restaurant's menu but I love it. I'm also a fan of mild green curries - so good.
