Thai Thai II: A Mixed Bag

We went to Thai Thai II the other night, its the new thai restaurant on Main Street in Bethlehem.  I am all for thai food, it is probably my favorite ethnic cuisine, and I was looking forward to trying a new place.  

Let me start by saying the food was pretty good.  Additionally, the service was great and the room is lovely.  

Harvesting Citrus: Grapefruit Soda

Our New Year was rung in with some whole wheat buttermilk pancakes (thanks arrowhead mills!), a heated game of scrabble, and then a harvest of the citrus in the backyard.  My method for harvesting oranges and grapefruits is to shake the branches and pick up whatever falls off…. we got a big haul this morning, I’ll be juicing for close to a half an hour tomorrow, I’m sure.

Tomorrow night Claudia joins us and I’ve already got a nice meal planned to welcome her… In the meantime, I’ll post my recipe for Fresca-style…

Grapefruit Soda, which we’ve been drinking since we got here.

• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
• 2-3 Tbsp Splenda (depends how sweet you like it)
• 1 cup club soda
• ice cubes

1. stir juice & splenda together
2. pour over ice cubes
3. fill glass with club soda, stirring to mix through
4. ENJOY
