I'm not cooking. Husband had the leftover Mexican Tater Tot casserole. I
will have the same. Was super good! The girls were talking of going for Thai
food. I will believe it when I see it. Not sure they will like this place.
My dad loved it and said that he always had the Showering Rama. I can't see
it as I don't think he liked tofu. People rave about this place but Thai is
not a flavor profile that appeals to me.
