I tried a new noodle dish at Siam today: Pad Woon Sen. I just love the tiny clear bean thread noodles (aka cellophane noodles) so thought I'd try this dish out. It came with both chicken and shrimp along with egg and various veggies like carrots, spring onions and cabbage. I liked the taste a lot until the noodles started burning my mouth. I should've asked for it mild. I'll order it again, I'm sure, when I'm feeling like Pad Thai but just had it two days before. Maybe I'll try it with tofu instead of both chicken and shrimp. The egg rolls and Thai iced tea were delish as usual.

Today I downloaded the Picasa app that's now in beta for Macs. It searches your whole hard drive for image files and then you can easily upload them to your Picasa albums. I uploaded all the pics my mom sent me last week. Here's some more samples:
