    Tam Lao Papayaless Variant

    June 4, 2018 /

    Excellent balance of flavors and clever use of banana leaf on flat plate instead of bowl. Sometimes the classics need a reboot.

    Mytrip.com travel agency review

    May 8, 2018 /

    According to their customer support, mytrip.com will not automatically sit your family together UNLESS you specify it at time of purchase and pay extra for it. They repeated more than once that this is specified in their terms and conditions, in reply to my multiple requests to not have my kids sit next to strangers (again). Hopefully, this is enough to let you know what kind of operation they are running. I do not wish for anyone to click on the links below, but am including them for indexing purposes: https://twitter.com/mytrip_com https://www.facebook.com/mytrip.com.official/ https://plus.google.com/+MytripTravel https://www.mytrip.com flights@mytrip.com Yes, I am aware that the airline is in charge of final seating decisions.

    America Has Fish Sauce

    May 3, 2018 /

    But there are so many basic types and specific variants, as well as imported and domestically produced brands, it’s mind-boggling. Referring to any specific type as just “fish sauce” could be quite disastrous, depending on the context (who put pla dak in the nam pla?). Bonus shot: Ultra dope station wagon in the Costco parking lot.
