Cooking in Heaven: Chiang Mai’s Organic Thai Farm
Includes links to some amazing, healthy Thai recipes!
Do it.
Exercising Around the World
And in stark contrast to what I just posted, my friend Steve Kamb clearly did a better job of staying in shape while traveling than I’m doing. I will try not to hold it against him.
Check out his cool video about exercising around the world!
Singapore in food, lights and more food
This weekend I blogged my little heart out about my time in Singapore:
Part I: Durian, Dim Sum & Dripping Sweat
Part III: The View From the Top
If you’re super-bored on a Monday, you are welcome.
If you’re super-hungry, I apologize!
You know it was a good cooking class when everyone stuffs themselves silly, declares the food incredible and promptly passes out in complete bliss.
OK, so the cat was already passed out, but you know.
FYI: If you ever do a favor for me, such as letting me stay at your house when I visit your city this June, I will cook the shit out of some Pad Thai for you. Tomato rose optional.
Bought this dress last night at the Chiang Mai Sunday market.
The empire waist/elastic are PERFECT for the six-course organic Thai cooking course I’m doing today! : D
The heat! My God, the heat!
Happy Boston Marathon weekend!! On behalf of all the runners who either worked so hard to qualify or raise money to run, I’m so upset about the heat issue (expected to hit 87 degrees F). I would absolutely lose it if I trained my butt off for this race and then couldn’t run. Sad, sad, sad face. : (
It is currently 100 degrees on the nose in Chiang Mai, but I ain’t running no marathon. I think I’ll just stick with something a little closer to my current pace.
Saturday breakfast in Chiang Mai at a little place right next to my guesthouse, where I can pop over without getting too soaked by squirt guns.
1. Strawberries, pineapple, banana, apple and the sweetest, most melt-in-my-mouth mango I’ve ever eaten.
2. Mango pancake with honey (because I refuse to moderate my mango addiction).
3. The bill: 120 baht (USD $3.90).
4. The view across the street.
Songkran 2012
Sawatdi Pi Mai! (Happy New Year!)
All of Thailand is in the midst of celebrating Songkran, the Thai New Year, and Chiang Mai has the biggest, baddest, longest celebration of all — so that’s where I am, of course!
The celebration is essentially a multi-day water fight, and you can’t go anywhere in the city without becoming instantly soaked by squirt guns and buckets of (often ice-cold) water. You can’t avoid it… you must simply throw on a swimsuit, grab your weapon of choice and fight back!
There are also food vendors, concerts, DJs, etc. And dancing. Oh my, the dancing.
And this madness goes on for at least two more days. Woooo!
It’s like looking at the sun. It almost hurts to look directly at him, but you can’t look away.
ALSO: He looks like the lovechild of Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper, with a sprinkling of Andy Roddick for good measure.
So THAT’S why he was smiling – he’s clearly incapable of doing anything else!
He’s so pretty! ❤
