I've been thinking of this process of making our writing truly our own, especially in reference to the Austen derivatives debate. It doesn't matter where we start, only our dedication to bringing forth our own authentic voices and visions.<br /><br />I think Pad Thai is basically some sort of noodle, whatever veggies look good, maybe some protein (which could be egg or tofu or chicken, as well as shrimp) and the sauce. Check the bottled sauce label as it may have ordinary (with wheat) soy sauce; it definitely has anchovies. You might have to make your own from tamarind paste and garlic.Deborah J.

It was simultaneously exhilarating and terrifying.<br /><br />Sound like I need to try Pad Thai -- I thought it was always shellfish, and the shelled beasties and I are not friends!Katharine Eliska Kimbrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195060585728465093noreply@blogger.com
