WanderingWhy…

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love to cook.  I would rather eat cereal or ice cream for dinner versus actually cooking something (or even reheating something).  WS, on the other hand, likes to cook.  More so, I think he just likes to eat, and being married to me means if you want to eat, you gotta cook.

In Thailand, the food has been just exceptional.  So when Richard and Jeanine expressed interest in a cooking class, I was actually excited about going.

We signed up for a day class with “The Best Thai Cookery School” in Chiang Mai.  With a name like that, it had to be good.  And we were not disappointed.

We had an all day class where we learned to make two types of soup, three curries, spring rolls, mango and sticky rice, papaya salad, three stir fry dishes, and three noodle dishes.  We started in the market to learn what everything was and then went back to Perm’s house (the chef) to cook.  His whole back patio area was converted into a cooking school complete with individual burners and cooking utensils.

Class started out well enough until Perm told us that we were going to do some adventure cooking.  This would involve flaming woks.  We watched him demonstrate.  No problem, right?  Have a look:

Yup, that’s right, mine would not go out, and had to be doused in water.  Jeanine and I were laughing so hard we could not cook.  We had a great time, though, and would recommend this experience if you are in Thailand.  Just the cooking part, the flaming wok, not so much.

So next time we invite you over for dinner, assume WS is the one cooking.  It is for your own safety.

P.S. on the previous post, the tattoos were henna.
