This morning I got up early for one of the only things I will gladly get out of bed for...a cooking class. Chris and I took a Thai cooking class this morning with 7 other individuals and taught by a "experienced thai chef"--a little gay man w/cat figurines all over his cooking school. The day started off w/a trip to the market where we bought all of the ingredients we needed from galanga (a type of ginger) to prawns to chicken to chives and Keffir limes. After the market we went back to the cooking school and did all the prepping and cooking for 3 out of the 5 dishes we made. I can now say I can cook Pad Thai, Tom Yam Gung, Green Curry (including making the curry paste from scratch)
--and observed while he made some chicken & cilantro salad w/sticky rice and water chestnuts coated w/tapioca and sweetened coconut milk. All I can say is....yummmmmmmmm! and no need for food for the rest of the day.
