I had my very first Thai cooking lesson!!! Yaaay! Something that I Wally want to do while I’m here is learn to cook thai food! I think I’ve found a grest teacher too! 🙂 a sweet Thai sister in hype congregation invited my roommates and I over to cook dinner with her. Alonna, Camille, Amy, Ashley and myself had a great time together! We came up with a pretty rockin menu too! We decided Green Curry with chicken with rice noodles and sweet sticky rice with fresh mango and coconut cream!. We also made another sweet dish, a Thai omelet steamed in a pumpkin. Then to round off the meal, Thai beer! 😉
First off through we went to one of the many many markets and got all our needed ingredients! We bought chicken, noodles, long beans, mangoes, herbs, onions, garlic, and veggies for the curry. If you want a bargain, markets are the way to go! We bought 4 mangoes for 15 baht each… 4 beyond delicious mangoes for only 2$! The market was loud, fast pace, and energetic! I saw all kinds of interesting things, pig heads, whole fired chickens, live eels, bugs, dried squid, etc. I really loved it despite the smell of stinky fish! 😝 we loaded our motorbikes with the groceries and drove back to the sisters house! We all got busy cooking away! We worked hard cutting, peeling, chopping, grinds, steaming, boiling and finally eating! Oh my goodness was it amazing! We were so proud of ourselves! it looked and tasted wonderful! We at around a great big table outside and visited and laughed, enjoying each others company! I have to say dessert was my very favorite part! Mmm mmmmmmm!!! The coconut sticky rise with mango… To die for! That’s definitely one I want to make at home and share with everybody! 🙂
After dinner we cleaned up after ourselves and listened to music and chatted more, got a little Thai dancing lesson in from the sister too! 😉 it was getting late and after being up so long that day I was about to crash. The jet lag was definitely hitting me hard! I knew I wanted to stay up during the day, not letting myself nap, so I would sleep good that night. And sleep good I did. I miiiiight have fallen asleep in her living room! Haha, I couldn’t help it, jet lag got he better of me! 😉 My body and mind had different plans for me! 😉 haha! We headed back home and I fell fast asleep right away, happy and full of the wonderful Thai good we made with love!❤️

Sending all my love.
