As I mentioned, one of the things I wanted to begin doing was learning how to cook some Asian food. A hotel down the street from us offered a Thai cooking class last Saturday, so I signed right up for it! It was actually kind of funny because I ended up being the only one there so it was just me, the chef, and about 5 or 6 interested staff members. The chef was from Thailand, so I got a course in the real deal.
Any way, we prepared three courses: Papaya Salad (I think it wasn’t really papaya because it was crisp, so I’m going to look up the Chinese word myself), Thai fried rice (really good – had pineapple, chicken, raisins, and then other typical fried rice ingredients, but no soy sauce), and then a Green Curried Chicken. Below are a few pictures. Also, the last thing to note is that when I said that I had three kids, the manager invited us to use their pool “free of charge” so I’m starting to build guanxi (influence / connections). Either that, or they were just super nice.
Yum!
Did anyone expect me to wear anything other than my Thai shirt!?!?!?
I saw them run off to add the "lasting contribution" comment just for me...
