Pokemon Go in Thailand – Day 6
Nintendo and Niantic have apparently abandoned plans for release in Asia anytime soon, as rumored this week. Sales of lao khao and other paint-stripping beverages skyrocketed when the news broke on IGN: “The team is currently heads down working on the game. We do not have any announced plans for countries beyond New Zealand, Australia, US and Germany at the moment.” -Chris Kramer, Vice President” (for my Thai readers: “heads down” is Farangspeak for “sleeping”)

While delicious, these get quite boring. If there’s time after dropping the kids off at school, we sometimes go eat lunch stuff for breakfast at one of the few places open that early, but most days we eat at home, because we make the best coffee in town (not terribly difficult). Today, Nam fried up all the leftover meats in our fridge, including gyoza stuffing, sweet Chinese sausage, and pork floss (that Mina loves eating over rice, lol!). The eggs were also…

Kimchi Buta Miso Ramen
Just something I threw together the other day using leftover pork spare rib stock, fresh green onions, and my last cup of kimchi. Oh, and two lonesome chillies I found on my kitchen counter.
