Cooking with Gas...

Oh yeah, look out! I am in my first day of 2 days of cooking class. Today, we're cooking 6 different dishes, so here's what's on the menu...

1- Noodles Thai style (aka, pad thai)
2- Massaman curry with chicken, potatoes, and peanuts
3- Cashew Chicken
4- Spring Rolls
5- Coconut milk soup with chicken
6- Mango with sticky rice.

Tomorrow, I am going to try a few other things like green curry, or panang...The group is quite small, only 5 of us, and 3 of us are travelling alone. Looks like I am going to hang out with one of the girls tonight, yes, she's in software, just left working at myspace. Small world :)

Yesterday was fun, I went to the Chiang Mai Zoo. Note to self. They aren't going to put THAI animals in there, it'd be like the toronto zoo having chipmunks and squirrels...so I saw stuff that I could see at home, but it was a georgeous zoo, and I really liked it. Although, the deer exhibit was a bit boring :)

Then in the afternoon I shopped MY BRAINS out! The weekend market was on, and it went from one gate to the big wat (temple), about 5 blocks of stuff. I think I may be done shopping.

Ha! Joking. I'll never be done shopping....

The one impact that the protests has had up here is that until yesterday there was a curfew...so you had to be home by 9, although that's no big deal for me...I am asleep by 930 these days :)
Home on Saturday, tomorrow I catch an overnight train to Bangkok...
