Watch out Mama Nong

Yesterday we had to take care of business. The end is in sight and we realized the luxury of "seeing where things go" is no longer allowed for us. New Years is a big deal here and domestic flights were booking up, so we had to book back to Bangkok. We also got a haircut/beard cut for Paul and booked some remaining tourist things.

1. Thai Cooking Lessons

I needed some lessons on how to create actual food for the new dishes so we signed up. ( ...they really are little pieces of historic artwork. I'm okay if that makes me a nerd)

Paul's specialties after last night:
Chicken with basil and chili
Spring rolls
Green curry

Me:
Thai beef salad
Pad Thai
Red curry

I'll apologize in advance for the next year forcing house guests to pretend our thai cooking is amazing.

It was very educational though and included a market tour to explain the different ingredients and what you can substitute if things aren't available.

Small apron. Big man.









2. Then this....helmets back on














The best part is when they tell you to "get down!" and you can just close your eyes and pretend you are someplace else. Someplace where you have actual control of the situation.

Made it safely. The waiter didn't have to ask if I wanted another. I was controlling that situation.
