Sunday Dinner - Part Duex

So contrary to my belief it was not a passing fad... Sunday Dinner is hear to stay.

In Brooklyn we had a favorite Thai takeout food place called SONG. All the dishes were under or near $7 and the delivery was super easy, cheap and familiar. Our one attempt at Thai takeout in Los Feliz leaved much to be desired. The order took almost an hour to fill and the food was greasy, gross and cold. Since this first and only attempt at affordable Pad Thai and Masaman Curry was a failure, my weekly dose of Thai food has been on hiatus with no hopes of contract negotiations.

So my dear husband, sensing my need for Thai inspired cuisine decided to make Chicken Satay Noodle Soup from the Rachel Ray's Everyday magazine. Say what you want about Rachel Ray, she does now how to make semi-authentic and tasty food with well known and easy to find ingredients.

The dish was really tasty! We substituted the spaghetti (hence the term semi-authentic) with a side of rice and cut the peanut butter by half. We also added a little lemon grass to cut the overwhelming peanut butter flavor (i have no idea what she was thinking). The result was a mild curry soup that tasted like a nostalgic version of our much beloved SONG's notorious Massaman Curry.

Take out in LA sucks, but Sunday dinners rock!
