Nutritional Health Councelor

This particular weekend is all about pineapple for me. That's a statement for sure because really, truly how important is pineapple in the scheme of things. But yesterday I took someone who had never eaten Thai food to a local restaurant called the Mint Cafe in Norwood, MA. My friends diet consists to a large percentage of pizza and fast convenience foods and he was very experimental . . . ordering a spicy Beef Panang while I order a seriously yummy Yellow Curry with Pineapple (see the pineapple relevance!)
He enjoyed it very much. I can't say that he loved it . . . this meal was so far outside his comfort zone that I was highly impressed with the fact that he DID like it enough to bring the leftovers home.
My feelings . . . score one for ethnic food vs. pizza.
