A salty night, let's try Thai

 

3 great things about this dinner:

1.) The bean dip (Well, I did Tortilla Chips!!) 

2.) Being with my husband

3.) The beer

3 not so great things about this dinner:

1.) The saltiness

2.) The saltiness

3.) The saltiness

By the time you're done eating this, you have destroyed your blood pressure, and left no trace of water  in your body....I suggest gonig halfsies on the salt. Ben ate all of his and most of mine, and had a dream last night of all his teeth falling out. Maybe I should try something a little healthier..

And I'm thinking, THAI CHICKEN! (Yes, Chicken again!! Is Thai healthy? I didn't check)
