 Thai Basil Salad

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! 
flavor explosion in my mouth!
3/4 of a head of romaine lettuce
handful of thai basil straight from my bush out back
asiago peppercorn dressing
whole wheat croutons
1/2 cup black olive slices
olive oil driseled on top
wheat germ
powdered seaweed/kelp
nutritional yeast
sesame seeds
parmesan
little black pepper
spicy vinegar(my own thai sun and tobasco peppers soaking in raw unfiltered AC vinegar)
i normally make it without the thai basil, but something clicked and told me to try it and its freaking awesome! it makes such a delicious combination.

There's pho on nearly ever street corner in my city, it's as easy to find as beer and fries. Cheap too, like $5 for a giant bowl.

Lol don't you just love that reaction? There have been a couple things I've made in my time that resulted in me just gazing off into the distance because I'm so amazed at how good the food is.
I've only heard of Genovese & Veriegated Basil; how do they differ from Thai?

i cant think of a way to describe the thai basil.... its definately different though. adds a different, but very pleasant flavor to foods. i also have spicy globe basil, which adds yet another(spicy) delicious flavor to foods.

my fiancee is hooked on thai tea. it is pretty delicious, but i feel the need to have a thai beer when i go out to a sushi or asian restaurant. i cant rememberr the name of it, but the one with the elephant on the label is my favorite.
edit: now that i think of it its called chang. and another i really like is Tsing Tsao.

You sir, are missing out.
Pho is the tastiest most filling goddamn meal you can get for $3.
Around here there are pho places all over the place.
The higher the Vietnamese population in your area, the higher the chance of pho places everywhere.
