Thai, Anyone?

I made something yummy that I had never made before: Phat Thai. I didn't make it 100% original because I can't use fish sauce or soy sauce, but it was pretty close. I used the Liquid Aminos to substitute for both, and added extra tamarind liquid (I just soke the packaged pulp in water for a while). I chose to use tofu and shrimp (instead of chicken). There were no bean sprouts as the ones I got yesterday seemed to be going off a bit and I figured it wasn't worth the risk. Oh, and I threw in some thai basil for fun. It was very very yum.

I also tried a cocoa-zucchini muffin with orange-pistachio flavours. I used just a pinch of honey and really, I should have used more. That said, the flavour and texture are good, so I will likely try them again. They are just a little lacking in sweetness. Still, they are cute, and the salty-ness of the pistachios are good.
