OK! Running behind on my posts since I have been unable to get access to the internet lately. We are now in Bangkok, and having a great time. More on that later. Before I do that, I wanted to wrap up our last day in Chiang Mei. Kim got up early and went zip-lining through the jungle. She did not have a camera, so there is no proof of this, but that is her story anyway! When she got home we went to a cooking class, and had a delicious blast.
 |
Phrey was our instructor. A local university freshman,
she was charming. |
 |
We went to the local market and went over the various
ingredients we would need. Kim is holding a "soup mix". Lemon grass,
Thai ginger, and Kaffir Lime leaves. |
 |
| Couldn't resist taking a picture of these grilled fish. |
 |
| Here they are prior to grilling! |
 |
| This was called a "welcome snack" or Thai Tapas! |
 |
You take a pinch from each pile, wrap it in the leaf, and scoop
some of the sugar paste onto it. Wow!! |
 |
| Kim and Phrey work on preparation. |
 |
| Oyster mushroom (white) and Ear mushroom (brown). |
 |
| Working on my Pad Thai! |
 |
Our final product! Upper left clockwise: Coconut milk
and chicken soup, Tom Yum Shrimp soup, Pad Thai,
and stir fried chicken with cashews. |
 |
| Red curry, and green curry. |
 |
Our curries, and deserts, from left: Sticky rice and mango,
Green curry, Pumpkin in coconut milk, and Red curry. |
After our class, we returned to our little B&B. I wanted to put a few pictures here to show it off. The street was very narrow, and did not look too promising. However, our little spot was tucked into the side, and surrounded with well manicured plants, fountains, patio, and rock walls.
 |
| The street didn't look like much! |
 |
| A nice wooden "Shingle"! |
 |
The entrance into the patio. Our room was straight back
into that corner behind the bicycle. |
 |
| This was the view of the moat about 200 feet from our room. |
We rested and packed and headed out to the airport via a Tuk-Tuk and departed at 9:00 pm. We arrived at our Bangkok digs and got settled back in by around 11:00. Ready to start our new adventures in the morning. More later!
OH MY GOOD-DELICIOUSNESS! Now I really can't wait for you two to get home and cook for me :P It looks like you guys are having such fun!! Love you both a ton <3

Hmmm. Many comments.
ReplyDeleteFirst: Does your hotel sign read "Modern cake at country home?" I can't read it very well, but it seems to be something funny and unintelligible!
Second: I'm sure the "Thai Tapas" were okay, but I think I would take a slab of jamon iberico over that any day! ;)
Third: I sure hope you've got those recipes down because I'm expecting a Thai feast in Portola as part of my reception! ;)
Last, but not least: I love you!
Yes, "Modern cake at country home". There was a bakery and restaurant there along with the B&B. Fresh baked pan (pang in Thai) every morning! Never sampled the cake, but it looked wonderful (and modern!).
