| Nickki Thai Kitchen /Jacket from Boutique Day 40 |
Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book, invites us to experience
some culture. I was able do a little of that with some authentic Taiwanese food at
Everyday Day Noodle in Squirrel Hill. Coincidentally two days later, I found myself having Thai food at Nickki Thai Kitchen on the North Side of Pittsburgh. Again this blog is not going to turn into a Trip Advisor food blog because I can’t hold a candle to a friend on this
site known as “Twistedintheburg” who has
over 40 thousand followers!

Actually,
the real reason for going to Everyday Noodle, was that a friend that I had not
seen in a year, invited me to experience what she said was a true Taiwan food experience
and this was new for me. Nikki Thai
Kitchen had an awesome patio,great foliage, unique statues, I had great
company, and the food was very good which made it more atmospheric, However, I preferred the food at
Everyday Day Noodle, even though both were great places to have a cultural experience.
Reflection
At Everyday Day Noodle you can watch them make the noodles. However, my enjoyment was fueled by my friend’s desire for me to have
this experience. It was such a treat to relax and have her do all
the food ordering. She explained that the chefs were from Taiwan and that they
made the correct thin type of noodles.
The place is known for the pork dumplings and she instructed that ginger
placed in soy sauce on top of them enhances the flavor. She was correct, they were
thin and the pork was delicious. We also
had baby bok choy which is a vegetable with beans on top, a noodle dumpling soup,
and sweet bean paste crisp pancakes for desert. It was a wonderful lunch.

Spiritual
Reflections
Jesus replied, “The Most
important commandment is this, ‘Here, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and
only Lord. And, you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your
soul, all your mind and all your strength.’ The second is equally important:
‘Love your neighbor as your self.’ No other commandment is greater than these” (Mark 12:29-31)
Loving
the Lord and loving others sums it up. As my Daily Bread noted, there is “power in
simplicity”
