Thai Rama II - 83 Spring Street
At the southern end of Post Alley, where it still looks like a real alley, albeit a pretty clean one. Husband and I had the fried tofu appetizer (neat pile of "bricks" with a chopped peanut-laden plum sauce), the Jungle Chicken (spinach, basil, broccoli, chicken, etc. in a spicy soy sauce-esque sauce), and Yellow Curry (potatoes, carrots, onions and tofu; simple, creamy and tasty). $24.48.
Two women came in and sat near us as we were working on the fried tofu. They sat perpendicular to our table, so one of them was talking directly at us, unintentionally. She rid a dog of a tumor through diet during a period of five years, and further claimed that most deaths -- canine or otherwise -- were due to malnutrition. She and her friend went on to have a discussion about why some people can't taste "that lithmus paper in 8th grade biology class." Tumor dog woman then ordered a bloody mary. The whole thing reminded me strongly of the doula/pregnant couple chat in a Greek restaurant in Issaquah a few years ago, but I don't think anyone needs me to go into that.

Posted by: Beth at September 14, 2003 12:25 AMI understand. However, thankfully, I don't remember much. Except that it was just exceptionally bizarre, like David Lynch was around the corner with a film crew.
Anyway, thanks for reminding me that I forgot to run "doula" through a dictionary before posting.
