First Attempt At Cooking Thai Food

For most of 2005 and 2007, I lived in Thailand. Each year I lived with a family and learned to enjoy some classic Thai dishes. Since coming back to the US, there have rarely been opportunities to enjoy some of my most favorite traditional Thai dishes. This is not because of a lack of Thai restaurants, just a lack of traditional or even street food style of Thai cooking.


And then I found this blog. She Simmers. She writes about several of the best Thai dishes around: som tam, jaew Sauce, street fried chicken, and even Thai fried beef.


Despite needing to go out to the legendary H-Mart to get all of the necessary ingredients, I got aggressive with my Thai cooking and decided to try all of the above recipes.

First Post or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Internet

The Internet knows all, or at least it thinks it does. As Carol and I begin our life living together in our new apartment, it has been there to help with our DIY projects, challenge our culinary skills with new recipes, and answer all those random questions we think up, like "Are oysters sustainable?" (The answer is Yes.) In short, we are the people who google anything we are curious about and count on the Internet to teach us everything. The idea behind this blog is to share some of what we have learned or even what we've been entertained by as we google things we don't know about.
