Cooking

So today, for the first time since I got here, all I want to eat is whatever my parents are making. Dad if you're reading this, I would like a combo of brisket and waffles for dinner when I get home. Mom, anything involving potatoes, mushrooms, avocado, tomatoes, and butter. I've never wanted butter so badly before.

It's not to say that Thai food isn't good. It is absolutely delicious. Lately though, things have all morphed into tasting like fish sauce or lemongrass.

Let's go through a regular week of food for me. It begins and ends with rice. Legitimately, I eat rice and curry for breakfast. I'm not a big breakfast eater, so any breakfast at all is a struggle for me. A full blown meal... Slows me down, I have to say.

Lunch is more rice with either curry or stir fried vegetables or sausage or generally whatever my host mom feels like. Dinner is more of the same.

Favorites:
-Pad thai
-Panang curry
-Sweet corn from Chiang Mai (literally could talk about this for years. It's grilled sweet corn with butter in a cup)
-Fruit juice/smoothie: any and all (minus durians of course). The best is passion fruit or lychee
-Fried pork skin

Pictures to come :)
