Thai Food by SheSimmers: Would You Support This Site by Wearing a Weird T-Shirt?

Cause: Testing recipes for and running this site cost quite a bit of money. And -- believe me -- I make peanuts out of it.

Effect: I need to sell some t-shirts.

So?: Uh, please buy a t-shirt. Or two. That is, if you feel like it.

How: Please visit my SpreadShirt Store and browse through my t-shirt collection. If you are into wearing a t-shirt that says something like, "I Love Pad Thai" in Thai, you're in for a treat. Past customers have reported that wearing these t-shirts to their local Thai restaurants has resulted in them being found extremely endearing and worthy of a hefty discount. One t-shirt wearer has been getting free Pad Thais since he started wearing it a couple of months ago.

By the way, all transactions are taken care of by the folks at SpreadShirt. I have no access to your name, address, or credit card information. I'll never know who you are; nor do I have the means or the desire to find out. Well, that is unless you want to drop me a line and let me know you're now a proud owner of my "I Love Pad Thai" t-shirt in which case I'll be grateful.

What: There are two main designs.

One is inspired by the phrase people often say to me once they find out I'm from Thailand: "I love Pad Thai!" Read the background story (and learn how to make Tom Yam from scratch) here.

The other is inspired by the little beloved house lizard, Jing Jok. I guess you have to be Thai or have lived in Thailand for extended periods of time to understand how lizards can coexist with human beings in the same household and how these little things can come to be regarded as cute or worthy of immortalizing in the form of, say, a TV commercial. But, hey, that's Thai people for you.
