Summer Eats: My Thai
I love Thai food. That’s no secret to friends and loved ones. But now that I no longer have a favorite neighborhood Thai spot… (I speak of the end of my 5-year relationship with Lily Thai who refuses to stock a mushroom-based sauce for vegan substitution of their fish sauce, which I had been ingesting [...]
Food… Kind of a Big Deal
As a lover of food, I need to know it deeply. I want to. I’m reading Stuffed & Starved, The Hidden Battle for the World’s Food System. It’s moving me in many ways. Firstly, it has been awhile since I have had the opportunity to read at my leisure, to read and not have to dissect [...]

To the Farm…
Cooking a four-course Thai meal with ingredients picked from the local market and from the grounds of an organic farm, I brought my appetite and anticipation from the night before. The full day class, offered by the Chiang Mai Thai Farm Cooking School, gave me yet another escape from the familiar streets of Chiang Mai. [...]
Up The Lazy Mekong River
From Udon Thani, I headed to the border town of Nong Khai. Situated on the Mekong River right smack dab across from Laos (The two countries are connected by the Friendship Bridge, built in 1994 with American and Australian funding), Nong Khai draws many travelers, as was indicative by my bus ride with 6 additional [...]
Play It By… Tongue
Trader Joes’ Joe-Joe’s cookies are perfect for balancing the tastebuds after a meal. A quick 2-bite dessert of non-hydrogenated, sweet vanilla bean speckled yum. But as a singleton who delves not into sugar excessiveness, a box can last for ages. My clear-the-cupboard countdown was closely coming to an end (alliteration points: 5), and still the [...]
