When I scheduled this deviated septum surgery for August 19 it never occurred to me how much it would shorten my summer. It has probably been exaggerated in my mind, but I feel like everything that I have not accomplished yet with my summer must be done before next Tuesday. Taking the kids boating with…
The Meal Before The Cupcakes: Thai Cucumber Salad & S.E. Asian Potato Salad
So what did we serve at our birthday party? By Alex’s request, first and foremost, there was a lot of fruit: cantelope, watermelon, red and green grapes, and strawberries. I would have loved to have added blueberries, but I just think they taste so much better when they are local. What we did have was…
Flank Steak Served 2 Ways: “Flank Steak Bun Thit with Grilled Onions” & Flank Steak with S.E. Asian Red Cargo Rice Salad
I don’t know about you guys, but around here we take a long time to eat one flank steak.This is because as much as we love (and I do mean love) grilled red meat, to us flank steak just begs to be served in salads or in tacos, both of which tend to reduce our…
Thai Sweet Hot Garlic Sauce (Nahm Jeem Gratien) in Stir Fry
Thai Sweet Hot Garlic Sauce is very easy and lasts forever in the fridge. It is a necessity for spring rolls, and delicious on grilled chicken, pad Thai, fried rice, and a host of other dishes as well. My house is never without it! This recipe was first posted in April 2008–before I had even…
Sooksan Wan Gerd!: A Thai Birthday Feast with Tish’s Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cloud Pie for Dessert
John’s favorite cuisine is Thai. He never gets sick of it. I sometimes need a break from what we think of as the entrée dishes, although I rarely tire of the salads. Despite the fact that at the end of the day Mexican is my favorite cuisine, the one that I never get tired of,…
Laura’s Thai Hot & Sour Noodle Bowl
In my family, as in many, soup is sick food. Growing up it was my mom’s homemade beef and vegetable soup. In college, it was Lipton soup packs. After college it was Progresso Chicken and Noodle Soup. Lately I have been unsatisfied with the store bought soup route, especially because I really don’t like chicken…
Pan-Fried Tofu with Thai Red Curry Sauce & Baked Hot Chocolate
Writing about my cooking comes naturally to me. Taking photographs of it does not. So when my routine is thrown off—by something good or bad—I totally forget to take pictures. Such was the case this week with my mother in law visiting. As I mentioned earlier, my in-laws like Asian food—enough so that they are…
Thai Chicken Soup with Coconut Milk, Sweet Potato & Red Grapes
This conversation took place at our dinner table last night: Alex: I WANT to salt my fooo-o-o-od! Me: Alex, in Thailand people don’t keep salt on the table. In Thailand, if you think your food is not salty enough, you put fish sauce on it. Alex: I do not like fish sauce! Me and John…
