By //  by Katja Wulfers 3 Comments

Candlelight flickered and cast a warm glow inside the old log house. Dinner was long finished and the remnants stowed away for another day.

Except it wasn't. Later that night, I decided to look up nutritional content on Thai Express Pad Thai. Let's just say we are NEVER going back there again.
