Thai Dinner

While I was cooking dinner tonigh, Sam had a question in Google Talk, when I told her I need to go finish dinner, she said she wants some too,,,, how do we do that?

I poured myself a portion and sent it to Sam in Google Talk:

Hmmm Yummy

After I sent her this one, I remembered she actually prefer the dish this way:

A nice spicy pork dish

It is a pity this is the only way we can have a family dinner these days, but it is better than nothing, right?

Do you want to tell me which is your favorite way of eating such dishes?

You can find the recipe in one of my favorite cook books:
Foolproof Thai Cooking: Popular and Easy Recipes from the World’s Favorite Asian Chef by Ken Holm

Bete’avon!

Time Wrap

I am going in reverse here but I just realised I still didn’t show you photos of the Sequoias from our recent trip to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, in California.

My first encounter looked like this:

Wow it is so big and tall, amazing

Then we found more and more of them:

Those Sequoia trees are really amazing

After inspecting the inside of a group of Sequoias I tried to see if they reach the clouds:

Very impressive indeed, when you stand near the Sequoia trees

And this is what I saw:

Awesome, breath taking trees

Joe wanted me to go up one but I sent him instead:

The most famous of the trees, like the one called General Sherman:

The largest tree of them all

Are now fenced to try and help them last longer, so you can’t really get close to the tree and appreciate it.

I think I preferred the ones that I could touch and stand right next to and admire:

I couldn\'t have enough of those huge Sequoia trees

I think this photo summarize well my opinion about these Sequoias:

I can\'t even see where this Sequoia ends!

In another part of this amazing park we saw young Sequoias. I was quite disappointed to learn that there is not much chance I will be around to see them in their full glory (it takes about 3,000 years).

Oh well, maybe in my next life.
