Thanks for the recipe. I've never worked in a Thai restaurant, but I've eaten in a few. I realize that basmati is an Indian rice. I prefer basmati, which is why I suggested it. Besides Indian dishes, I serve it with my Mexican, Chinese, American dishes.

The lady is a street food vendor, much like the hot dog, pretzel, and other food vendors I once frequented years ago. I only wish that she had a cart next to one of them, because I would have enjoyed Thai food earlier. btw- is it just me or is it that you can't get a decent hot dog south of NYC?
