Movable Type 4 Upgrade
Just to let you know, I’m starting a clean upgrade in a few minutes so the site may be down for a little while. I’m starting the design from scratch to take advantage of the new software architecture, as well. Too bad, I kinda liked this design. Oh well – new wife, new house, new country, new car – I guess a new blog design isn’t such a big deal…. See you on the other side.

Wild Animal Day / Akrachat’s Most Wanted

Nam Nuong
Nam Nuong are the little grilled sausages on sticks shown below, but it’s also the name of this dish. It’s Vietnamese in origin, but I don’t know what it’s called there. All of the ingredients are laid out on a rice wrapper and rolled up before eating, like a fajita. The sauce is sweet and spicy, and full of roasted peanuts – the combination of all the fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs (including lettuce, cukes, green bananas, starfruit, mint, kaffir lime leaves, green chilies, and everything else in the photo that I don’t know the names for yet) is something that cannot be described, but must be experienced.
