We are model thai food

Monday, May 4th, 2009

A quick glance at our analytics showed that a visitor recently arrived to our site by searching the phrase “model thai food,” presumably in Google. Nat[chos]urally, out of curiosity, I put said phrase into Google, only to find that we are the #1 result (more specifically, Trish’s Thai Food Bounce post from March).

I don’t know what “model Thai food” might be, exactly, but I have some pretty good ideas—maybe you have some ideas, as well? Regardless, we are happy to be the official band of model Thai food, and we’re looking forward to our next culinary recognition in the category of Indian.

Take that, Thai food poseurs!

In other news: Worst nan ever leads to hot hot recordings—After completing a rough mix of our recording from last Thursday, I’m truly excited to throw more tunes in the tandoor to see what else cooks.

Worst Nan Ever / First Live Audience

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Practice has been (to use a phrase I hate*) a long time coming.  With Jon away on business one week and me attending some seminar the next, our rehearsal schedule has been a little erratic.  Needless to say, we were thrilled when we were finally able to get together last night.  And with an audience!  Carly, Tim, and their cute dog Layla popped in to join us in wine and song.  It was great company and I’m now pushing for Jon to get a dog (though his allergies are shoving him in the other direction).

We did a quick run through of the oldies for our audience.  Then our dinner came — our crappy Indian food.  Biggest let down ever!  Dan, Alex, and I were so excited for our meal and it was crazy oily, spicy but without flavor, and the worst nan we’ve ever had (really??!?  yea… we were a little shocked too).  Meanwhile, Jon, the most unadventurous eater you’ll ever meet, devoured his grilled chicken pizza with no sympathy for our unsatisfied culinary craving.

On to multi-tracking Alex’s most recent song and then sneezing on each other and sipping from the same bottle of wine — swine flu anyone?
