When you go to an exotic new country, one of the best parts of the experience can be sampling new taste sensations at the local restaurants.

Thailand is no exception. This is a country of culinary delights. From the extra spicy to interestingly sour you will find a wide range of local foods that will delight your taste buds, fill your belly and soak up tons of booze before you hit the town.

mesa thai food is typically spicy and has many herbs and spices; this is for a few reasons.

One, Thai's love spicy food and two, the spices often have medicinal purposes.

Many of us from major western cities already have a fairly good idea of what Thai food is from our own local restaurants. Still, the food here is obviously going to be better, made with local ingredients and not exactly what you expect.

The first major difference that you will notice is that there is no knife on your place setting. Instead you get a spoon!

Henry's is opening a new store on El Camino across from the Westfield Plaza Camino Real mall. The store opens at 8 AM on September 2nd with hours 7AM-10PM daily.

The store is in the site of the former Smart & Final merged with the former site of the scrapbook store.

It will be nice to have a nearby Henry's.

Denny's at the 5 and Carlsbad Village Drive just got a new paint job. All earth tones. Didn't those colors go out with the '70's. Not very appetizing to me.

What do you think?

Hodad's is opening soon in the Carlsbad Village Faire center.

The company's web site indicates there is an existing restaurant in Ocean Beach. The menu is burgers and fries.

Has anybody eaten at Hodad's? Will their burgers win the local cholesterol-gobbling crowd?

I've read where Gauyule's Grill is to soon to at 2780 Carlsbad Blvd. It's an interesting location. See the street view on Google Maps Google Maps Location

AnyBud know what kind of food will be offered?

Is there online information about the Lake Calavera Trails Masterplan?

Are we finally going to get more trails?

I guess it's already approved but the $24 million cost I've heard for an indoor shooting facility seems awfully high.

What will be the percent usage rate of this facility? Wouldn't it have made more sense to do a joint venture with other cities, sharing the cost and putting the facility to better use?

The Rosicrucian Fellowship, with International headquarters in Oceanside, marks its 100th anniversary with a three day conference this weekend. There's an interesting article in the North County Times about the group. It's web site is at Rosicrucian Fellowship Web Site

From the north and east, the Fellowship's quite impressive building makes an impressive view set atop the hills off Mission Avenue. Up close, its even more dramatic. Picture

The Journey of Artists program includes a live performance every day from August 9 through September 7th, 2009. Artists vary in their type of performance and background.

The performances will be in the Village Faire Shopping Center, 300 Carlsbad Village Drive, typically beginning at 4 or5 PM

The event is being sponsored by the Medditeranean Cafe and Lynn Forbes Sculpture Studio both in Village Faire.

I heard part of the TV broadcast where a city official provided a preview of what Westfield plans to suggest for revitalizing the mall.

Plans are to include a theater complex and more restaurants. I really wonder if proper research has been done to suggest these are going to be services that can help the mall, without just taking business away from the neighborhood. Is there a need for more theaters with a complex just across the street.

The mall seems to be catering to a lower middle class audience. The stores do not have appeal for a higher end audience. One has to go all the way south to Fashion Valley or north into Orange County to find higher end stores. But maybe it's hard to attract them to this area.

The question is, what kind of new retail services would improve the mall?

Art in the Village returns again Sunday August 9th.

While not as big as the Village Faire, the art is more refined and the atmosphere a bit less overwhelming. One favorite from the past is the booth of Thai clay flowers.

Here's a link for more information.

The Womens Club is having a garage sale today 8-1 and tomorrow the same hours. I wonder what kind of stuff will be there.

The Carlsbad Womens Club is located at 3320 Monroe Street, just south of Basswood and across from the high school.

Southwest Airlines doesn't accommodate pets.

American Airlines doesn't allow pets to be travel by plane when temperatures are too high.

Other airlines may have similar concerns. I've read where smaller pets can sometimes go under a seat. Even when checking is permitted, I am not very happy with checking a dog into the cargo bin.

Are there shipping options?
