yesterday, ron, julie and i cooked this awesome thai dinner based on the class i took in bangkok.
on the left:

lonely shrimp, squid and corn cake awaiting sauce

killer homemade pineapple sauce (this is just the best sweet/sour/spicy dipping sauce ever)
“green” jasmine rice with peas, cilantro, scallions and cashews
stir-fried dandelion greens

on the right:

panang curry with chicken - so yummy! - made with from-scratch thai red curry paste (and boy is my arm tired)

recipes available upon request.

    crispy rice cakes with chicken-peanut sauce (kao tung na tang), from the cafe at the jim thompson house.  yum.  note the koi pond in the background.
the watermelon/ice/sugar/salt drink was heavenly too.

    brunch for three, before a busy morning/afternoon at the chatuchak weekend market, pretty much the world’s biggest flea market.

    just had my first thai massage.

    strong fingers + sharp elbows = very happy, relaxed tourist.

    see sean cook

    today’s highlight:  a half-day cooking class for traditional thai food.

    admittedly, it wasn’t pretty.  my knife skills are a little…rough. 

    look out, he's got a knife 

    but the end result was fantastic.  

    i made all this (dessert not shown), and it was good

    a meal fit for a king
