QFT. Some of the best Thai/Japanese/Asian-etc. food I've ever had was quite lacking in presentation compared to countless subpar yet visually attractive offerings.

:D Package from Fragems arrived! Mmmm, delicious backlog...

Pad Thai is the name of a specific dish, not a variation in regional style of a 'national' food type like Mexican food versus Tex-Mex.

I love these though, so I'd like to try the real thing sometime.

Moira seems to be doing well so far, she's at Day -4 for transplant and she was only ill on Day -6. They're starting another one of the drugs today though (ATG), so we'll see how she does on that! It's apparently from a rabbit, which is better than when they used to get it from horse. SCIENCE! So weird.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.
