I lived in Thailand in 2005, and on my last day their I ate every food that I had come to love in Bangkok. At the top of the list: Pad Thai. Since I’ve been home, nothing has compared to the Pad Thai I ate in Bangkok. Aside from being amazing, it was also cheap. For a mere 50 cents you could get a large portion, whereas in the States I’ve paid $11 - $15 for “good” pad thai. Nothing compares, guess I’ll have to go back for the real stuff again!
I made this the other night, fresh guacamole is one of my kryptonites. The sweetness of the corn balances well with the snap of the pepper, the heat won’t linger or force you to drink a gallon of water. Always try to use fresh ingredients, I promise it will taste better 
Ingredients:
2 Avocados
2 Roma Tomatoes
1 Red Onion
1 Ear Sweet Corn
1 Pasilla Pepper
1 Lime
Salt + Pepper
Directions:
Remove the husk from the ear of corn and cut it off the cob- stand the ear upright and shave downward along the ear (AWAY from your fingers!). Put the corn in a mixing bowl. Dice tomatoes and red onion, add to the bowl. Cut the pepper in half and take out the seed, dice and add to the bowl. Cut the lime in half and squeeze one of the halves over the salsa mixtures. Stir for a minute to combine the flavors. Cut avocados in half, take out the seed, and cut while still in the skin (I like chunks of about a half inch square). Invert the skin and scrape the cut “cado” into the bowl. Add both avocados like this, the other half of the lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir + enjoy. It will last for about a week covered in the refrigerator.
Tip:
If you’re making the guacamole right away, choose more ripe avocados, if not choose less ripe. More green = Less ripe!
In this life, we can't control much. But control isn't what this life is about. My life isn't about the destination- it's about the journey. With that said, this site is a reflection of the happenings of my life.
