Today I am bringing you yet another Thai dish. But a simple one…20 Minute Pad Thai.

20 Minute Pad Thai-1

First…can we talk about birthdays? Do you guys like your birthday?

I mean do you look forward to this day? Do you like to celebrate it with a party or dinner out? Do you like the attention being all on you? Receiving gifts and cards and having people do things for you that they would not normally do?

I am a birthday well…hater. Yes, I really do not like my birthday.

I will celebrate anyone else’s happily, but my birthday? No thanks, I would rather pretend it did not exist.

I know, ba humbug! The thing is, I do not like any attention, which I do understand is ironic, seeing as a write a blog for everyone (hopefully) to see. It just makes me uncomfortable.

I can blame my dad for this, I get it all from him. Mom and I could not be more different. She LOVES any reason to celebrate, whereas Dad and I, well not so much. Honestly, we are weird birds.

If you are wondering, no it is not my birthday. But yesterday, was my dad’s birthday. And he’s probably going to kill me for saying anything. But really, I just had to share this random little fact about my dad and me.

So I made Pad Thai. Cause really, who doesn’t want Thai food on their Birthday? It’s the perfect little make your own take out treat for your Wednesday night!

And you know what, it was SO easy. I was not expecting it to take (seriously) twenty minutes, but it did, and it was awesome! Twenty minutes and one pan! You can not get takeout faster than that, so put away those menus! Trust me this is so much better than that greasy, soggy, overly salted stuff you’re about to order.
