New Toy

Recently, I picked up a new toy to go with my Sous Vide - a handheld blowtorch to sear my steaks. So far, no complaints, and it's quicker, cleaner, and cooler than my grill.

Fondew

The cheese craze continues in Thailand. Cheese "Fondew" (spelled in Thai with an unnecessary "w" on the end) is the latest addition at 7-Eleven.


  
 The sandwich isn't bad, but it's far from fondue.

  
Instead of cooking your sandwich in melted cheese, you get a packet of cheese for dipping. Disappointing, but not surprising.

The Original Facebook

An old treasure recently re-surfaced - a photo collage that I had put together before leaving the Peace Corps back in 1997.

This was my Thai language training group.  Moo 7 was the small village where we did our home-stay in Suphanburi
