I want to save you all the trauma of buying “A Taste of Thai” Red Curry Noodles in the easy-to-cook, microwaveable variety.

Last night, after writing group, I was extremely hungry–as I normally am after writing group. Stopped by my house to pick up something to eat before traveling on to movie night at a friend’s house. Picked up “A Taste of Thai,” cooked it up, and started to devour it.

All I can say is that I really didn’t like this stuff. I don’t know if the “Taste of Thai” flavors other than Red Curry Noodles are any good, but this one is to be avoided. Save your money for ramen noodles!

In other news, I received my quarterfinalist notification from the Writers of the Future Contest on my story “Sky Father.” This is the best I’ve gotten in the contest so far. The way it works is that there are normal rejections, followed by quarterfinalists (top ten percent), semifinalists (who get critiques on their work), and finalists (from which 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place recipients are picked).

So, “Sky Father” will soon be on it’s way to another market. In the meantime, I’m brushing up “Robes of the Gods” to send to WotF this quarter.
