Sharmwar's Pakistani Yeti Grill: Wisconsin Trip, Day Three

This is a pretty low level day. Derek and I ended up staying at the condo. I blogged, he repaired some stuff for his mom, and then we went and had dinner at Ha Long Bay with Heather and her girlfriend, Allison. Where Derek and I talked everybody's ears off for the entire two hours we were together. 

But the food was lovely!




Cute!!


I just love the buddha shaped beer. 


No beer for me!


We ate family style, and our spread was GORGEOUS. 


I was vaguely miffed that they brought me tom yum instead of the tom kha I ordered, but Allison ate it for me, as I am never going to say a negative word about service no matter how bad it is. 



A little laundry hamper of sticky rice! 




The soup I was so excited about. We had this about a decade ago, the first time we went to Wisconsin together, and I was obsessed with the soup. I have since learned to make it, and mine is superior. Sorry, Ha Long Bay. 


Dinner was on the high end of mediocre, if I'm being honest. It was GOOD, but Derek and I can make better. And the spice levels left a lot to be desired. Namely heat. But the company for dinner was fantastic. I love Allison, and I love Heather, and I love seeing Heather so happy. 

When we dropped Allison off at her place, a couple of F35s flew overhead, extremely loud and incredibly close (sorry, Johnathon Safran Foer, it isn't intentional that I steal that from you, it's just a really apt description), but they did look really cool in the extreme fog we had that night. Then Heather took us back to the condo, Derek and I stayed up and chatted for a little bit, and then we fell asleep. At an old person's hour. But this was the first night of full sleep I got at the condo. I was having weird dreams, and I kept getting up and pacing the condo during the night. 

Next day, MICHIGAN!
