Around the World with Friends

In addition to cleaning out my recipe stash, we have been doing another food related thing lately. We've been taking a trip around the world with our friends, Fabio and Vanessa. We pick a different country and have a whole meal based on it. So far we've done French (fondue), Mexican, American, Japanese, and now Thai.

We made a coconut chicken curry (left) and pad thai (right). We also made bubble tea to drink - which if you've never tried you MUST next time you have the chance! And for desert we had sweet sticky rice and mango. It was really yummy! Our friends had never had Thai food before and I LOVE it so I planned out the meal and we cooked together. Thai is amazing...a combination of hot, mild, sweet, and acidic all at the same time. It seriously is an explosion of flavors in your mouth. YUM! Anyway, next up is German food in a few weeks. It's been a lot of fun and a great excuse to get together instead of doing the same old thing together.
