This morning, we got up early, got our supplies around, hopped in the car, and headed a few kilometers down to the road to this place. A few weeks ago, a family in our church asked us and another Thai friend to help them start up an English club for kids in their community.  It’s [...]

I. Love. This. Food. One of the first meals I ever had in Thailand way back in 2005 was ไข่ยัดไส้ (say it like: khai yat sai).  Simple, delicious food that is made quickly and eaten probably just as fast.  It’s just that good. So, what is it?  It’s basically a paper-thin egg omelette (reminiscent of [...]

One thing every new parent faces, regardless of where they live, how much money they have, what kind of baby will be born… is figuring out what to call their child once it arrives. The process of การเลือกชื่อ, choosing a name, varies in difficulty from person to person. Some have had a name picked out [...]

Being pregnant in Thailand has been interesting, that’s for sure.  I mean, it’s already a completely new experience for me, as this is our first child… but, think of all the new things you (or someone you know) went through with your first, then place that learning curve in the middle of a completely different [...]

After featuring Western food for the last few weeks, I figured it high time we get back to some Thai food.  Agreed? This week, I want to introduce you to something I probably never would have ordered on my own here in Thailand (or anywhere else in the world, for that matter).  You see, coming [...]

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 [...]

Another few months have come and gone.  And life over here has yet to really slow down, make sense, etc.  We still feel like we are holding on for dear life at times! But we are doing well.  If you haven’t already, check out our latest newsletter by clicking on the image above.  It’s an [...]

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 [...]
