I often joke that I have a money tree growing in my back yard. Need to spend lots of cash? “Hold, on. Let me just step out back and water my money tree.” I often dream of how amazing it would be if this were possible. Well my friends, dreams do come true…
Let’s take a closer look…
Hey, where’s that guy going with my money tree!? Ahh yes, never a dull moment at the thai temple. Ok, I lied. It was a bit dull when I realized they didn’t have my beloved coconut custard! But I survived.
I ventured over there today with some very sweet friends. The weather was beautiful, and the company was wonderful.
Oh, right. The food….
Fried Sweet Potato. Ohhhhhmyyyyyyyyygahhhhhhhhhh…
You know it has to be good when it’s made like this…
Pumpkin Curry…
Soup…
Pad thai..
Yep, foodie heaven. If you ever in Tampa on a Sunday, you need to check this place out!
It’s been a wonderful weekend here at home. Confession: I’ve left Gainesville every weekend this semester except for one. Don’t judge. There’s just something about home. So many of the people I love are here, and I just can’t get enough. A full kitchen and a cozy room to sleep in aren’t too bad either…
Mmmm, cozy.
I leave you with one of my very favorite quotes. I think I’m going to make this my mantra for the week…I could use it 
“There is a force within which gives you life – seek that. In your body lies a priceless gem – seek that. O wandering soul, if you want to find the greatest treasure don’t look outside, Look inside, and seek that. “
–Rumi

mmm those dishes all look divine. There really is something to be said for a comfortable home with the people you love.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
I went home every weekend my entire freshman and sophomore years of college. I don’t judge: I relate!
Fried Sweet Potatoes?! I just died. So good.
that looks sooo cool!!
no judgement, i totally wish i could go home every weekend, and i could if i only had my car at school. nothing wrong with going home :)
Ahhh pad thai!! My true love. More than a money tree.
Whow, first I thought there might be a chance I could purchase a money tree and then disappointment….then I see all that wonderful food and think….whow, I think I am hungry I want some of that….then I suddenly feel tired and see that cozy bedroom…..so, I was wondering…..can you just ship all that to me and bill me LATER!
What a fabulous day! 8-)
There’s no place like home… Cliché, but so true. :)
That room does look cozy!
What a wonderful quote!
There is no place like home, embrace your amazing house and amazing family- there’s nothing wrong with it!
And that food looks mouth-watering divine.

The pumpkin curry, fried sweet potatoes and Thai soup look amazing. I think I need to come to Tampa just for this Thai Temple celebration. Does it occur every Sunday?

oh if only money grew on trees… or if leather boots grew on trees, I would be the happiest girl in the world.
your room belongs in a Martha Stewart catalogue – it makes me feel warm inside :)
Those Thai noodles look yummy! Nothing wrong with going home– it’s the people you love that count the most!
