    Mosquitoes eating meatballs

    August 7, 2021 /

    The food pictured is look chin, or Thai meatballs and hot dogs and other protein shapes on skewers, a common street food either grilled or steamed and sold for 5-10 baht. The darker meatballs are beef and the lighter ones are usually pork or fish. They often contain gristle or cartilage bits that add a crunchy texture.

    Yes, it’s our old friend, Crispy Pork Basil Stir Fry. From a now-defunct resto of our friends, shut down due to high rent and the first COVID lockdown (2020). I never got around to posting the pic and giving them their due… It was good while it lasted.

    Online Teaching at Thai University

    July 7, 2021 /

    The biggest COVID wave so far spread through Maha Sarakham from a couple months ago, so my university postponed the new term until this week. I’m teaching four Public Speaking classes per week online. This is what a typical class looks like, with about 2/3 the students: I tell them they only have to turn on the camera when they speak because some of them are on weak connections or are connecting through mobile data plans, and it might save them money as well as improving performance.
