A new food

Wednesday, May 21. Hi everyone! How are you? I'm just plowing away here in Thailand, trying to make progress with the hats and trying to get things going.  It's not that hot, but I feel a little lonely because I'm away from home and my friends here are busy.  Today I will go see Nop and talk about websites, so that should be a fun distraction.

My new experience yesterday was eating something new.  After we went to look for fabrics, we went for lunch and in addition to the normal Thai fare of grilled chicken, larb, som tam, and khao niew, I also had a soup made from red ant larvae and a special kind of vegetable found in hard to reach places (I was told).  Not bad.  Not something I have to have, but not bad.  The soup was kind of like a tom yum, and the larvae and ants kind of tasted creamy and proteiny.  Hmm.  Definitely something new.

So I am off.  I am going to shower and get ready for a lunch meeting to see where we go from here.  I'm not sure there's anywhere to go, but I'll be game and just go listen.  Until tomorrow when we talk again, peace and enjoy your time!
