Of what business do you speak?

I think I may have seen a CEO carrying one of these on a business flight the other day.

Nice buns.

Mr Bun has the nicest buns I've ever seen.  Don't they look friendly?

What's better than a fried chicken leg from a street vendor?

Q: What's better than a fried chicken leg from a street vendor?

A: *Four* fried chicken legs - on a stick!!!

Best.  Snack.  Ever.  And yes, it tasted as good as it looked.  I actually walked by the vendor first, and then something clicked in my head that said 'I must eat that', so I stopped and backtracked.  And I'm not ashamed to say I ate them for breakfast.

Some might say food like this is bad for one's heart, but can anything that makes one's heart so very joyful be bad?  I think not.

Fish, with that strange plant as garnish

You know those plants with the leaves that close up when you touch them?  We had them served as a garnish in a fish dish we had the other day.  The fish was excellent, and it was fun to touch the plants as we ate it.  Good times.

More food!

A couple delicious foods from around town.

Included here is NE Thai style deep fried fish, takoyaki Japanese style octopus balls, fish cooked in a copper kettle over hot coals, duck salad, and loquat fruit.

Erawan Shrine

A few pics of the Erawan Shrine, a shrine outside a hotel in downtown Bangkok that has a constant stream of worshippers coming to make offerings and ask for assistance. People who feel doing so helped them often donate to the shrine, which finances a constantly performing traditional dance company next to it. You can see the shrine from above at a BTS stop, so you can watch the stream of people going in and making their offerings. It's a festive and colorful affair.

Mmmm... rice flour donut

This is a snack we got the other day - it's sort of like a deep fried rice flour donut, coated with sugar and sesame seeds.  It was chewy, moist, sweet, and probably not very good for us.  But the few bites we had were very tasty.
