Culmination.
It was an 8-day Thai funeral.
Cremation (and for Max and I, ordination) was on the last day.
Ashes were spread on the nearby Chi river this morning (9th day).

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.
