We LOVE this guy. Love his cute Thai sense of humor and his great recipes. Lots of good footage and background on Thailand on the show, too. Check out his website HERE and catch the show on PBS. We tape the series, but may end up buying it (if you can) because of all the nice background info on Thailand. You can get recipes off his website, but the show is GREAT and worth a watch. Of course, it makes me hungry every time. After watching yesterday during Ruby's nap, Jeff and I wrote down a few recipes then decided we HAD to go to our favorite new Thai place for dinner. The weather was nice (well, relatively) so we took Ruby to the park first. Had a blast and she loved all the seagulls lined up in the lake. (Wait till she sees the beach this summer!) It was also so great to see her boldly jump and climb and go down the slide by herself. What a difference from a few months ago when we last went there.

After the park we headed on over to Thai Noodle Fusion. In a word, YUM!!! Love this place as they actually have Thai people working there and authentic Thai food. Ruby loves it, too. The people are so sweet and remember us. They let us know about stuff going on at the temple and upcoming holidays and such and are always so nice. Going to hit the Asian grocery store this week and pick up all the goods to make our own Thai food this week.

I leave you with a poem from Tommy Tang's website on the elements:

Earth Ocean Wind & Fire

Earth, we don’t really know when it will move.
Ocean, we don’t know when there will be a flood.
Wind, we don’t know when and where it will hit.
Fire, it can happen anywhere.
Earth gives us vegetation and meats.
Ocean gives us water and sealife.
Wind allows us to breathe and to live.
Fire allows us to cook.
They are good and they are bad.
They can give and they can take away.
Either way we cannot live without them.
Don’t take things for granted, be gracious and be respectful.

Food for thought and thought for food. Nice!
