A damn fine cup of Americano in Khon Kaen, next to Central Khon Kaen.

Raising a family in Thailand // Documenting Issan food, culture, music, and people
..and maybe Warren Miller a little bit, too.
Last night, we planned to go camping in our front yard. Max came down with a cold and Mina does nothing without him, so the kids ended up staying in the house. Nam worried about the kids waking up in the middle of the night and not finding her, so she also slept in the house. I had already put tents up, so I decided to sleep on the lawn alone.
Woke up with a sore back and lit some charcoal because camping is not camping without fire. Grilled some yakitori and khao chi rice balls in a wonderful fusion of classic Japanese and Isan flavor profiles. Then I went to my Sunday masters class and thought about when I would have time to write my thesis. I seriously need a day to chill every week, but that’s not going to happen for a while.

https://www.facebook.com/messages/other/
This is the Facebook “other” inbox folder, which Facebook says contains messages from people you haven’t friended. The thing is, I sometimes find messages from people who I have friended in there (maybe I friended them after they sent the messages?), so you should check it out.
This is the latest entry in a series I created about mosquitoes eating fruit; I’ll link the other entries here later.

A couple months ago, they opened a new mini-mall called Robinson’s Living Center in the next city over, Roi-Et. I teach in Roi-Et on Saturday mornings, so Nam and the kids went to check out the new mall… They had a very well equipped and expensive (for Thailand) play area where parents could dump there kids for a couple hours. We never leave them unsupervised in strange places, so Nam ended up with a lot of photos of their play session.
