    Chicken Fingers

    June 20, 2015 /

    This is the best series I’ve seen in a long, long time. It features writers and actors from the Wire, which is evident throughout the first season. For some reason, it made me think of a certain character from 24 as well, and that actor suddenly appeared in one of the later episodes! If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can see it for free.

    Do you need to show your credit card at check in?

    June 4, 2015 /

    As an anti-fraud measure, many airlines have adopted a policy of asking to see the credit card your tickets were purchased with at check in. This concerned me after buying tickets with my dad’s credit card for my family (wife and kids) to visit home later this year. We are flying Korean Air, so this information is pertinent only to them. The Korean Air website clearly states that the credit card used to buy the tickets online needs to be shown at check in: Documents Required Passport Visa (if required by country visiting) e-Ticket itinerary/Receipt Credit card used for online transaction (if booked online) Reading online flying forums for confirmation…

    Thousand year old egg stir fry with deep fried basil

    I got ambitious cooking one of my favorite restarant foods last week. Just to go over the top, I tried it with pork belly and these groovy new green dyed century eggs, which I first deep fried in tempura batter. Posted from WordPress for Android

    Fire, No Water, Burn.

    April 28, 2015 /

    During the Songkran water festival,  a fire truck came around to refill its tanks at the pond in front of our house.  The trucks normally spend the duration of the festivities driving along the main strips downtown and basically enjoying being the kings of the country-wide watertfight. On this day, however, a huge fire broke out within a mile of our house and this truck was not at all ready to do its job… The next day we saw another fire truck spraying people during the waterfights,  so obviously, Songkran is the worst time of year to have a fire in Thailand.
