My wife, son and I ate there Sat night and had a great dinner. We started out with Calamari, which was excellent (lightly coated and lightly fried with an excellent dipping sauce), and all three of us cleaned our main course plates! My wife could not recall the last time we all did that! We split a sticky rice with mango that was fantastic. The whole time we were there, only three other tables were full. I know the owner and enjoyed his restaurant when he had one downtown. Many times when I drive by, the parking lot is empty. We are big fans of “Restaurant Impossible”, and we commented when we left, “what would Chef Robert do with Chaba Thai?” I have never had a bad dinner at Chaba Thai. What do you all think?

Butter
Dark brown sugar
Chocolate
Bacon
Pecans.

My one addition would be something about using REAL butter. There is just no substitute!

Have a great weekend!

A friend who lived here for years, but moved back to her hometown in Connecticut, posted this on Facebook.

I miss southern buffets where sugar and butter is dumped into everything then gravy is poured over it all.

I now have the courage to make the Original German Sweet Chocolate Cake I have not made for the last 4 or 5 years. The cake only has about 1,000 calories per slice. I have decided to not buy eggnog, which should help balance the calorie consumption. I do not plan to take to a party though. It will stay at home with me. Merry Christmas to you, Howard and both your families.
