Impress the ladies... with fish sauce

I found a killer recipe for pad thai on Chez Pim and made it for dinner tonight. The tamarind pulp experience was unappealing on a lot of levels, and the simmering fish sauce concoction smelled like--well, like the nether regions of 99 Ranch, but in the end it was well worth it. With the exception of the tamarind step (not difficult, just gross), it was surprisingly easy to put together.
