Panang Thai Curry seems innocuous enough because it’s mostly coconut milk and there’s barely any chili powder in it. Plus, it’s indescribably delicious because of the basil and red pepper, with a hint of lime. The addition of fish sauce sounds grotesque, but that’s what gives it such depth of flavor.

The first time I ate it I tried to use a fork and I dripped it all over the place, which is one of the reasons we [Read: Fletch.] instituted the We Eat Upstairs Only on Delivery Night rule. Also, when I finished I was covered in broth. Fletch said I looked liked I’d been through a curry car wash.

I ordered the dish because it sounded like a little adventure for my mouth. Plus I could secretly congratulate myself for moving so far away from the cheeseburger-and-orange-soda comfort zone of my youth. Through college and my early professional years, I didn’t have the budget to improve my palate and enjoyed many, many presweetened-cereal-based meals. But after almost passing out in Target after yet another blood sugar spike, I had to accept that there’s more to life than empty carbs.

Also, I’ve talked enough smack about the employees at the Elston Target and it’s not in my best interest to be unconscious around them.

Almost as soon as I discovered a deep and abiding love for Panang Thai Curry, I discovered that I can’t digest it. Maybe I don’t have a tolerance for so much spice or it may be that I ruined my colon from years and years of running Artificial Red Dye #7 through it. Regardless, I need to cease and desist with the Panang Thai Curry because I’m murdering myself from the inside out.

And yet I can’t stop myself from stuffing it in my mouth, much like Libby can’t help but chew up my cordless mouse every time I accidentally leave my office door open.

It’s a problem.

For both of us.
