I know, I know.  Last Tuesday I said I’d be back full swing after being off sick for a week, and look at this – 2 Tasty Tuesday in a row, without anything between them.  I promise I have a small stack of half-finished posts that were on the docket!  Just got too busy to [...]

Well, hello there… those of you that are left after my week off. Last weekend, I was ill with some sort of stomach bug, and the last thing I wanted on my mind was food. That then extended through the first half of the week, and seeing as I was in bed most of the [...]

Things aren’t always what they seem! By residing in a foreign country, I’ve willingly subjected myself to living every single day not fully understanding or knowing what’s going on around me.  No, I’m not saying I’ve become an airhead or unaware of myself or anything – rather, I am not in a place where I [...]

Mmmmm… I hear the name basil ( insert name of meat here ) and I become a happy girl.  So does Brook, but he’s a boy, of course. Here’s a photo of our table at dinner a few nights ago.  This is also what the Mr. eats for lunch just about every day.  A plate [...]

So, today our errand-running didn’t start out the greatest. After a week of either the post office being closed or being completely inaccessible due to the Songkraan holiday, we were ready to pick up whatever had arrived. Among whatever mail may have come, there is certainly at least one package from home, possibly two. You [...]

In the picture above, you’ll see a group of fellow students and teachers, with myself, from the language center where Brook and I are currently studying.  Last Saturday, we had a special session all about the celebration of Songkran and the traditions that come along with it in Thai society.  After the session, we were [...]
