Eating in Bangkok, Part I

More specifically, in this case, eating at home. I can remember, as a teenager, that my Aunt Rochelle blew me away when she casually mentioned that she often made Chinese food in her kitchen. I must have held on to that, because now I really want to make Thai food in my kitchen. Here was my first go at it:

To cut, or not to cut... The age-old debate rages on in Thailand

Thai spinach

I still have irrational fear of buying fresh (still flopping) fish at the market.

What panang curry is all about!

It actually came out good - not a bad 'farang' version of Thai food

Where We Live: Sukhumvit Soi 24

Our driveway at 46-48 Sukhumvit Soi 24, complete with saluting crossing guard

We're on the 8th floor of this 18 story tower

Wood floors that *don't squeak at all*

View from one of our three balconies

Another balcony, every evening at 6pm

Leaving out of the driveway, looking right

Theoretically, folks drive on the left here. On the actual street. At least it's calm.

Sukhumvit Rd. is crowded, but amazingly calm. The motor scooters here make far better time than the cars - they just snake their way up to the red lights. Every traffic light change sounds like a massive motorcycle revving party. Loud and hot, but not too dirty or smelly (usually).

Ok, I'm Better Now

I am sorry that I've made no entries in two weeks. No photos for this very brief post.

We'll put it as Howard Cosell might once have:

"After three solid weeks mired in a classic defensive battle, the score remains Buddha's Revenge 2, Glenn's Constitution 1. We'll see how Beth's daily yogurt-for-breakfast strategy plays out this week!"

Next: Much more fun, but no less significant, things to talk about!
