I am truly stuffed, sated, content. I just experienced an excellent meal – from a food cart. Yeah, I know, right? In this day of poor quality customer service, I was pleasantly surprised by Thai Jasmine over by the Yale Medial School. After a two-hour wait to see someone about my foot bump (yes, Virginia, it IS a tumor), I decided to enjoy the beautiful weather and treat myself to a walk to the food carts in front of the hospital. A colleague introduced me to their cart last fall when it was parked near the courthouse, so my choice was made as soon as I saw the cart.
While the people in front of me were treated to a little extra this and a little extra that, I asked them the obvious question: What’s good? In the end, I had pad thai noodles, ginger tofu and veggies, and some tempura veggies. (Was that sweet potato?!) I ate it all, every last bit of it, with complete abandon, ignoring the unanswered email in front of me. I truly wanted to lick the styrofoam container in which it was presented.
If you ever find yourself near Yale-New Haven Hospital, make your way to the well-known food court on Cedar Street. I’m glad I did. It made an icky few hours totally worth the wait.
Note: The other good news is that the tumor is benign, so no worries.
