Dinner: Thai Passion (Ste A400, 9300 S I H 35, Austin, TX (512) 382-0057). Started with the Pou-Peer Sod soft spring rolls. We ordered shrimp, but they were out of it so they asked if we'd take tofu, so we agreed.

Then we had an order of Rice Balls (Fried jasmine rice mixed with red curry, lime leaf, and coconut. Served with chili and plum sauce.) which we ended up liking a lot. I like the crispy texture of the fried rice ball exterior and the soft flavorful rice within.

Lunch: Wendy's - Cheeseburger and Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Dinner: Take out from Tien Jin (4534 West Gate Boulevard, Austin, TX (512) 892-6699) which is one of the closest Chinese restaurants to us. We ate in the restaurant two years ago and didn't like the food, but I thought I'd give them another chance. The seafood noodle soup was pretty bad. The worst part was the inclusion of extremely iondine/bromine flavored Gulf shrimp which permeated the entire soup. Ick.
