Givin' it the old college Thai

* Besides a homemade peanut sauce, I've never really had Thai food.  I've been a little afraid that the heat of it would overcome me.  Therefore, today I venture out at halftime of the Badger game to try out Wood Thai Restaurant take-out, which is literally around the corner from us and I've looked in and never attempted before.  It used to be Rosie Thai (for you locals), but they've changed their name and updated a bit.  I'm determined to branch out and try something new; stand by for the report!

We ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai lunch special (with salad and rice), and a Thai Style BBQ Chicken House Special (with shrimp fried rice and salad).  The salad was very tasty with the dressing which was tangy with a black spice- not poppy seed but something similar.  The chicken was tasty, but the skin was very rubbery and kind of gross.  It came with a red chili dipping sauce that I skipped.  The pad thai noodles with shrimp was very good, but that'll be dinner as this was a lot of food for us.  Shrimp fried rice was great; not overly sticky rice.  I'd get the pad thai again.  Love the crushed peanuts!  Yum!!
