Am I Too Late For The 4:30 Autogyro?
There are certain advantages to living in an apartment building located directly across the street from Sobey's. One of which is the fact that if you suddenly get the craving for pad thai at eleven o'clock at night you can simply hop across the road and buy the ingredients.
Of course, it doesn't help if you forget to add the bean sprouts and are forced to add them when you recook it the next day for dinner. Someday I should ask the woman at the market if she'll give me her pad thai recipe, as it's nothing like the recipe I followed, which called for shrimp (replaced in favour of tofu).
1 point for telling me where the title is from and its relationship to this entry.
The quote is from Mr. Burns in the Simpsons.
The relevance is that Mr. Burns was trying to send a letter to "The Prussian Consulate in Siam" via the 4:30 Autogyro. Siam is the former name of the country now known as Thailand.
Point please. ;-)
Yes, yes, yes. Geedy little bugger, aren't you? : P
