Well it’s been quite some time (wow 17 days) since I last posted and quite a bit has happened. The new job is still going amazingly well, I’m having a great time with the work and the people are all really cool. That’s not saying I don’t miss the people I used to work with cause I do but I’m completely convinced that it was the right decision for me to make.

On Wednesday (the 15th) Deanne and I took the trek to SAIT Polytechnic for a night of Thai cooking instruction. As usual I arrived incredibly early so I had about 45 minutes to chat with the instructor and his helper while they were setting up. The teacher was really good, the night was full of laughs and really good food, the image I’ve attached is a sampling of the dishes that we made. Right in the center is Thai Chicken Sate with Spicy Peanut Sauce, which Deanne’s group made. In the bottom right hand corner is the Pad Thai (from scratch including the sauce) that the group I was in made, and in the back is a Thai Beef Salad. I don’t have a picture of the other 2 things that were made but they were Chicken Soup with Coconut Milk & Bananas in Coconut Cream. I don’t have all the recipes posted yet, once I do they’ll be available here.

I’m totally hooked on the classes at SAIT and I want to take a few more of them:
