At a fruit orchard tour in Chonburi, Thailand.
I will never catch up with all the photos I have to post before I retire… At least I’ll have a lot of photos to look at then.

First Grade
Max no longer wears tartans.
He has so many girls fawning over him at school, it’s ridiculous.
And so a new era begins….
Kanchanaburi War Cemetery
When I told Max not too step on or over headstones, he asked if it was because they are traps.
I remember being told not to do the same thing decades ago in a cemetery in Hawaii. I remember asking if it was because it’s impolite to step on people’s heads.

Candy Sushi-making Kit (Tanoshi Sushi-ya san by Kracie)
A self-explanatory photo series (because I am lazy, although I should state that this was brought by Michiko & Dave for Mina, who watches kawaii Japanese candy-making videos incessantly on YouTube and is learning little girl Japanese phrases as a result):
Candy Bugs in Mukdahan, Thailand
A friend just posted this to Facebook, and I needed to share it here, just because:
Awesome!

Taco night
When Dave and Michiko visited from Japan a month ago, we had a Mexifood party. Due to what’s available here, we had to improvise a few things, but it all turned out well: I made carnitas pork and refried beans in the slow cooker (in that order, without washing the pot, using pork fat to season the beans) from the night before. A trip to the supermarket only yielded a single, cement-hard avocado, so we nuked it for a minute and mixed it in with locally available (Khon Kaen) sour cream. Finally, we deemed making corn tortillas with the masa I have in the freezer and the tortilla press my mom brought over a few years back too much work, so we made due with flour tortillas for everything, which are available at the Tops supermarket in Central Khon Kaen. Dave kindly brought over many sauces from his stash: Sriracha, Cholula, and hundreds of Taco Bell hot sauce packs from the states.
The final result:
The Perfect Breakfast – East Meets West
Pan-fried eggs with assorted meat, toast, rice porridge, coffee. It’s hard to find a good breakfast in Thailand if you are tired of the standard fare. We found a good place.
