Overnight buses are nothing but a good time. That's what I've learned in the last few months. This time we were lucky enough to be sitting above the very smelly toilet. Luckily the dudes beside us had some nice deodorant spray that helped.
The main purpose of going to Chiang Mai was to take a cooking course. I want to eat Thai food every day!
The teachers took us to the market where we finally learned what the veggies were that we had been looking at for a few months. It was so interesting and such a fun time. Many local people were there buying produce for their dinner.
We were given stylish aprons and deadly sharp knives to make our masterpieces.
Most of the time cooking time with Thai food is taken up in the preparation. We chopped a lot.
The ingredients for my favourite Pad Thai!
It was lovely to be in an open air kitchen with our own menu, chopping blocks and stove stations. TJ and I chose to make different things so that between the 2 of us we'd be fantastic at everything!
After we made each dish we sat on cushions on a low table and enjoyed the delicate, layered flavours. Pad Thai and Cashew Chicken, complete! (Completely delicious!)
At the end of the day, with bellies full of everything good, we were given certificates and recipes.
Aside from the Pad Thai my other favourite is Green Curry. I love the coconut milk base and the spicy green paste that we learned to make from scratch! YUM!
Aside from all that I think it's funny to make TJ act like various statues. Because it is funny. Right?
