Okay, it’s not actually bread and it’s not actually daily….but a couple times a week we visit the massive food market near the office for our meals. In a covered pavilion there are tons of stalls lined up next to each other, with every kind of Thai dish. Thai food is so diverse and there are so many dishes that I feel I could never eat the same thing twice…but I’m sure after two years I will have changed my mind about that. I could always eat Som Tam, my favorite…a salad made of thin strips of raw papaya and carrots with peanuts, long green beans, lime juice, and of course, chilies!
Here’s Andrew (can u see him?) sitting waiting for our food at one of the stalls. Notice the tons of yellow shirts? Every Monday Thais wear a bright yellow shirt in honor of the King of Thailand since it is his 60th anniversary on the throne.

Hi Sticky -
Of course I can recognize Andrew. He’s the good-looking guy with the light blue shirt. My only question – why isn’t he wearing yellow? I can’t wait to try Som Tam. It sounds good, much better than the intestine soup Andrew told me about.

Som Tam is probably my favorite Thai food.
You must have it at least at a medium spicy level!
