I’m just testing blogging from iPhone. It’s not too bad at all. Anyhoo, I hosted a dinner at my place last night. It went pretty well if I nectlect the fact that I almost burn my place down. Anyway, it appeared that everyone liked the food and they were enjoying the time, which was all that really matters. I wish that I had thought about the dessert a little earlier. I made mangoes with sticky rice in coconut milk. The sticky rice was good but the mangoes were a little too unriped for my liking. They would have been great if they were for today instead. O well.. Maybe next time
The menu (just to tease your saliva glands):
Gai (chicken) satay with peanut sauce (homemade of course)
Beef steak
Kra por pla (fish stomach soup)
Kowniew mamuang (mangoes with sticky rice in coconut milk)
Mick and pla also brought gai yaang (thai grilled chicken). They were great as well. Personally I liked the soup the best. I think it tastes pretty close to a decent sharkfin soup. All in all, it was fun.. I should do this more often..
