Chris and Chandi’s Worldwide Adventures

Well I got sick last Sunday morning. Not too sure how or why but let us just say it was quite unpleasant. The "sickness" lasted about 12 hours then I spent the next three days not particularily interested in food.

We were supposed to go on a Thai cooking course Sunday but we postponed it until Monday cause I spent all Sunday in bed watching HBO and eating rice crackers, good times ++

On Monday we went to the cooking class and it was quite good. It started with a trip to a local market where the guide showed us all types of different food (I watched an old lady club about 100 frogs to death) and most importantly showed us different types of rice. After that we went out to the organic farm where the cooking class was to be held.

The course started with a tour of the farm where the instructor (a young lady) showed us lots of different Thai fruits and veggies, it was quite informative because we had been eating these things for weeks with no idea what they were.

Then we proceeded to cook up a storm! We made rice, green curry (ground in a mortar and pestle!), stir-fried veggies, tom yum soup, spring rolls and bananas with coconut milk. Unfortunately I only ate a little bit because I was still reeling from the "sickness". We both really enjoyed the course and I would recommend a Thai cooking class to anyone who comes here to visit. One of the best parts was the other interesting people on the course, they were alot of fun!
