FINE EATING

As in the past, we are enjoying the food in Thailand. It appears that few people eat in their homes, unless they carry in food. There are vendors everywhere on the streets. Sometimes it is difficult to walk down the streets because of all the vendors. The photo here shows a vendor that sets up very close to the center where we do our reading. She sells either rice or egg noodles with chicken and your choice of vegetables. She puts broth in a small plastic bag and the noodles, chicken, and vegies in another bag, fastened with a rubber band. You can carry that with you. This soup costs us 25 baht (about 85 cents each). It is quite tasty. This is a very common meal for Thais.

Fruits and vegetables abound. This is a photo of ramputant is an unusual fruit that is in season now. You open it up and peel off the soft hairy skin and it is a tasty sweet fruit. We eat Thai food most all of the time. It is very good and cheap to eat. I wish that all of you could experience the vendors and the busy streets. It makes me thankful for the tranquility of country living.



Last evening Joanne had a craving for American Food. We went to McDonalds which is only about a block from this center. Our eating needs are being met.

Yai and Nong prepared a meal for us and the students at RAMCC.
