you can't stop me but you can surely delay me

traffic, Muni, and this new bout of allergies... "delay" is the story of my life!

So back to what I did on WEDNESDAY... at work, Bunny and Speedy raved about the papaya salad at Perilla on Mission Street:

papaya salad with poached beef. Also has basil, carrots, peanuts, little fried shallots,
and of course, papaya (the white stuff that looks like short noodles)
mix with tangy nuoc mam dressing and enjoy!
I was surprised by the papaya... not that it was there (after all, it is a papaya salad) but by how well it replaced noodles. I guess I'm stuck on noodles right now... not only was the papaya a great alternative, but the beef was very tender and the fried shallots (fancy onions) made everything seem much more expensive than it was. Top notch lunch food for less than $10!

Just be sure to eat your food ASAP... if you let it sit for a bit while you go to the ATM, the papaya loses its crunch power.
