Another full month of travelling has come and gone, and I’ve been wanting to write about this treat the whole time!  Finally, a chance to bring you all into the world of yet another form of Thai sweetness -  ทับทิมกรอบ (Tub Tim Grob). I mentioned this particular dessert in my last post about the jackfruit [...]

What is that something new, you ask?  I learned how to evaluate, choose, remove from the tree, open, de-seed, and prepare a new fruit for eating – Jackfruit!  Do you remember this post way back at the end of June talking about Jackfruit?  Well, the tree I told you about is finally bearing its GIANT [...]

We’ve been back to our home in Thailand for almost 2 weeks now, and you bet I’m right back at it in my little kitchen again!  After a month back home (USA) eating all kinds of wonderful things, though not really preparing much of it myself, I was ready to be back in control.  Don’t [...]

Welcome to this year’s Tasty Tuesday – Holiday Baking Edition, Round 1.  If you haven’t already noticed, it’s not Tuesday.  That’s because for the next several weeks, my Tasty Tuesdays are going to focus on Holiday Baking, and well, they’ll get posted whenever I get my baking done each week.  I’m still going to call [...]

Today’s tasty treat is something called เมี่ยงคำ or Miang Kham. The name of this particular snack suits it quite well as the word miang (เมี่ยง), means “food wrapped in leaves”, and kham (คำ) translates to “a bite”.  And, that’s exactly what this is!  A bite of a whole bunch of different things, all wrapped up [...]

I couldn’t believe it, when going through my collection of Tasty Tuesdays thus far, that I have yet to do one on perhaps Thailand’s most well-known dish across the globe.  How could I have missed it?  After all, I probably eat it once a week.  I see it everywhere I go.  And, as I said [...]

This week’s tasty Thai treat is something called โรตีสายไหม – Roti Sai Mai – also lovingly known as a “cotton candy burrito” among English speakers. If you remember from the last Tasty Tuesday, a roti is basically any kind of flat pancake / bread / tortilla / crepe type food that can be wrapped around [...]

The latter part of this past week was an adventure for Brook and I in more ways than one.  We experienced new foods, Thai river life, a coconut grove in the jungle, a camp completely run in Thai with no translators for 3 whole days… it was stretching, exciting, tiring, and wonderful all at the [...]

I once again have proved the stereotype of blonde air-headedness to be true.  I didn’t even realize yesterday was Tuesday!  It wasn’t until I looked at my calendar today, saw it was Wednesday, and was like “oh, I guess Tuesday already happened this week… wait, Tuesday already happened?!  Ack!” Thus, the Tardy Tasty Tuesday.  And, [...]

Root canal visit #1 went surprisingly well last week (though I still couldn’t eat = no Tasty Tuesday), and round #2 this evening went just as well.  Yay!  Only 3 more visits now to get fitted for, then be fitted with, a crown for my delinquent molar. Now that we’ve started off with such great [...]
