Winter in Bangkok

It’s winter now in Bangkok so it’s time to cook winter foods like soup – and cookies!

Not fake news: there is a dog beach and a cat beach on Nusa Lembongan and a strict code of conduct governing the clans

The whole point of going to the market was to make a spicy green papaya salad called som tum that is famous in Thailand.

All about the Or Tor Kor farmers market in Bangkok. I call it the “Okurr” market for short b/c I think it makes me sound young and “with it.”

Sea turtles are MY favorite animals so it’s not fair that I didn’t get to go to see the baby sea turtles.

Finding the mola would have been gold but we appreciated the silver lining during our dive trip to Bali

I visited Laos for International Day of the Girl, met many inspiring girls and had a great time.

It was a crazy last minute trip but we had fun and discovered what is perhaps the world’s best noodle dish!

Six months in Bangkok is still great but not quite as exciting as it was in those first heady days.
