Good Food Review

Finally, the perfect blog for me. I love good food. For my food review I had Thai food at this little place called Roong Petch on Montrose by my house. Thai food is probably one of my favorite types of food. This place is definitely the best Thai place in my neighborhood (there are a ton of new ones in Ravenswood) and probably the best I've had in general.
A lot of the times I get pad thai with tofu because their pad thai is better than anyone else's, I'm not really sure why even. But everything I get there is always good. They just recently remodeled and added a sushi bar too so the past few times I've gotten sushi which is always good. (I'm really going to have no complaints about this restaurant, just a warning)
For my actual review, I got Lad Nar, a yummy noodle dish with tofu and broccoli. Basically everything there can be made vegetarian, which is why I like going there so much cus I have lots to choose from. The noodle dish was really really good, my only complaint was that it was really hot and I burned my mouth, but that was my bad. Everything else I tried there that night was also amazing.

So basically, go to Roong Petch by the Montrose brown line if you want really yummy thai food.

King Still King?

Even though this is late and after Martin Luther King Jr. day, I can still talk about whether he's still "king". This is figuratively, of course considering he wasn't a real and royal king, but he was a leader of a progressive movement that shaped our country, just like a real king would do.
But, on the topic of whether he still is a king, I think that he still is, depending on how you're looking at the title we're giving him. In my opinion, he should be given that title because he was inspirational, progressive, peaceful, and someone who positively influenced changes in America that may have never occurred without him. So I think, just as with real kings when a new king is crowned the old king still exists, I think Martin Luther King will always be a "king" and will and should always be celebrated. Even if a new "king" comes about, Martin Luther King was inspirational and shouldn't be forgotten over time.

I'm a Shoe

Hmmm Mr. Mccarthy, you always confuse me with these extremely vague blog titles. I'm wondering whether it's asking what shoe you'd be if you were to be a shoe....? or what it'd be like to be a shoe...? I doubt thats what Mccarthy really was thinking of, but just to point out, I think I'd be a flip flop. That just was the first thing I thought of, but I just miss summer and want to not have to wear uggs every day.
And I guess you can say flip flops are easy, I'm an easy going person, there's another connection. I'm also a summer person for sure, and flip flops are worn in the summer. This blog still doesn't make that much sense to me, but I think I made some pretty good connections between me and a flip flop....
