  RF> Tara Thai got a rave review in the Washington Post magazine this past

  RF> I have to be very choosy about ordering at Thai restaurants, since
  RF> g.b.p. are a very frequent ingredient--the beef mussamun at ChiengMai
  RF> is my usual choice as a result.  Thus, I'm not a super expert on all

What's "g.b.p." ?

Tara Thai: good food, nicely spicy (the "background spice level" was higher
than in most Thai restaurants, which pleased me a lot).  Good service.  One
(BIG) problem -- the huge windows face due west.  The setting sun (depending on
the time of the year) is right in the eyes of anybody facing the window.  There
is nothing at all blocking the sun -- no curtains, nothing.
