I think I’ve finally got this blog up and running the way it should be, so I feel great.

Woke up this morning, went to buy a traditional Isan breakfast of sticky rice and skewered BBQ pork, as well as some fried doughballs and a bag of rice porridge. Brought it all back home, got Max ready, and took him to school. Found a roadside vendor selling fresh durian and had him break down a small (~.75 kgs whole) one for Nam – she loves them (I merely tolerate them). Came home again to Mina babbling and scooting around madly on her baby walker. It’s been a perfect start for the day.
Ypou are a better man than I…. I lived in Singapore for a few years, and try as I might… I just couldn’t get onsid with Durian. I got some cake one day from an emplyee who had a recent baby, and I thought I was going to die. In my travels about the world, I have had some seriously grim stuff in my mouth…. and durian will always head the list!.
Great blog, I never miss it.

I could get really thin by eating a diet of durian because it makes me seriously upchuck.
That being said, your daily rounds of picking up yummy Isan breakfast goodies sounds so delicious….and then I remember the heat of the early morning sun.
We miss Mina’s babbling and singing. Have her watch the Disney and Pixar movies so we can sing together, okay?
Oooh… do you have any kick-ass Thai recipes?
Sure, I’ll work on some food posts again soon.
