This is the last Fish 4 Friday before Turkey Day hits us in the beltline. With cold weather now affecting most of us (in North America, at least), I decided to take us back to the Tropics with a healthful, spicy dish that also fills our craving for soup:

Chicken Soup Weather
When the weather cools down I get out my soup recipes. And my stews and chilis too, but I always like to start with something simple, not too hearty (it’s only in the 70’s after all, not that cool yet!), and with “adjustable zing.”

Thai Curry at Angels 350

With winds from the north at both airports (Thank You Gustav!), the pilot barely had to maneuver at all; up and down, 31 minutes and done. Shoot, I [...] Read more »

A Thai Dinner Party at Home, Part V: Desserts
Dessert isn’t served every meal in Thailand, of course. Nearly every opportunity to partake is exercised, however! When a full meal with guests is served, there are often two desserts, not just one. So if you’re a dessertaholic then Thai cuisine and customs are tailor-made for you.
