Jetlag Finally Abating

I've been home for exactly a week now, and despite sleeping twelve hours a night I'm mostly over the jet lag. Have already cooked Thai food for family - chicken coconut milk soup and pad thai. Both turned out delicious - fortunately there's a grocery store near my house that has an acceptable stock of Thai staples (though for some I had to go into NYC). Planning to do green curry and fried rice next weekend.

Posts will be more sporadic now, as I'm sure you've guessed, but I do have a number of pictures and stories left to share. I'll update once a week until further notice.

  1. Awaiting the pictures and stories! In 3... 2... 1... now.

    I hope the first installment comes soon because I'm stuck in italics till then.
