Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine

After scoring some serious poetry finds at McKay Book Store in the Chatty (Komunyakaa, Plath, Angelou, Heaney), Eric and I decided to take Highway 11 back home.  Hungry, we began searching for some Thai or Indian.  We found Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine in Brainerd.  They had a special called the Lunch Box.  As you can see, the Lunch Box was a sampling of a little bit of everything delightful.  The box held miso soup, avocado rolls, nam sod (spicy pork salad), green curry with chicken and a scoop of rice.  And, of course, we started off with an appetizer of fresh basil spring rolls, which, when we make them at home, always turn out to be much heavier than they should.  The atmosphere was so soothing, the staff so quietly attentive, and the food so perfectly delicious, we decided to nap in the booth after we finished eating.  Just kidding!  But don't think for a minute that it didn't cross our minds, though.
