Wow is all I have to say.  Seriously.  Wow. Now, to the rest of you, to whom I may sound like just another a blabbering girly girl hyped up over something insignificant, I say “whatever.”  With the kindest smile, of course.  :) Today, Brook and I had a few hours to kill between lessons and [...]

It’s been almost a year (10 months now) since we left home in the Midwestern States of the good ol’ USA.  A lot has happened, a lot has changed, and there’s been a TON of adjusting going on.  The first time we lived in Thailand (in 2005), we were only here for 6+ months, were [...]

This week’s tasty Tuesday focuses on yet another of my favorite simple Thai dishes.  It’s name is ข้าวมันไก่, or as you can pronounce it khao mun gai.  Here’s a shot of this very dish in front of me at lunch today. Sadly, those of you who have actually ventured into the world of Thai cuisine [...]

“Greater things are yet to come, and greater things are yet to be done in this city…” Such is the first line in the chorus of a song you may already be familiar with, or you may not.  You may have even sung the Chris Tomlin version of it in your own church or at [...]
