Thank you for not settling. Thank you for forcing me to not eat microwave food just because it's quick and easy. Thank you for being able to take anything i throw at you.
love

For those of you wondering that was a note to my stomach. I have been cooking recently and have discovered how much i enjoy it. Yesterday i made spicy herb and olive oil pan seared chicken and an attempt at fried rice. Today i made my own take of buffalo/vinegar based spicy eastern barbeque, cooked some chicken with it and successfully made fried rice with egg, carrot, green pepper and onion. Now I'm making a stocking using whats left of my chicken carcass, the remaining carrot, half a bell pepper and a little bit of onion. Being broke isn;t so bad when you at least have the sense about you to cook something and not have to buy everything you eat ready made in a store.

A long time coming
Alright so yeah, it's been over a month since my last legitimate post. Not that i haven't been doing anything worth noting, just I've been either too busy or too tired. Fast of the matter is I'm too tired as i type but i figure it's been long enough i need to put something down.
So where did we leave off. Mussels... right. Food here is pretty amazing to say the least and if you can cook your options get even better. Not saying that i can cook but I'd go so far as to say that i've picked up a trick or two over my last 27 something years (most of them in the last few years, not so much when i was younger). Markets here are pretty awesome, but that could be said about any market in almost any international city (international meaning outside of America).
Lets see, I went to Thailand, I can tell you a bit about that. It was awesome. I went back to the same little island that i went to on my way out here. I know my job isn't exactly hard but it can be stressful and for only having a week off i didn't want to have to do much... so i didn't. I went back to a place i knew i could sit around on the beach, watch the sun come up and then set all without having to leave the bungalows for anything. The food that Momma makes in the kitchen there is amazing and for the most part cheaper than anywhere else on the island. The drinks cost a little bit more but for the most part they're not that bad either. All in all i got exactly from my week off what i wanted out of it. To do nothing for a week and be satisfied in doing so. I met up with Rachel and Nathan (my old roommates from boone, who just so happen to be teaching in korea and traveling at the time in Thailand) as well as my friend Katie from Yeosu who was traveling around Thailand at the time. My friend Lyndsay from training came with me and between the 5 of us we accomplished very little and were all so content in doing so. But enough about me, who cares about all that, here are some pics... Enjoy
