A Lot Of Thai Part Five

We sit on the ground to mash ingredients into curry paste in our mortar and pestle in the process of learning to cook a Chiang Mai specialty, Khao Soi. Ellyn became much more enthused when she realized it was not Cow's Eye.








Soup's on.



As we start to make the classic Papaya Salad, Yui shows us a quicker way to cut papayas than using a grater.



Tom and Kathy determinedly try it out, while Ellyn and Brian think it's just great to grate.





Most good things must come to an end, and it's now time to prepare the grand finale, Satay.





Success. We're all pros now.



Thank you, Yui, for two wonderful days!
