Thailand

Wow it's been a while! Sorry!  We're losing steam.

This time, we have a Thai inspired meal… Lap Mu (pork and chili), Thai iced tea, and coconut ice cream.   For the main attraction: the lap.  Well, our version, anyway.  To make it semi-traditional, mix together some cooked ground pork, diced onions, red chilies, mint leaves, fish sauce, and lime juice. 

 

Thai iced tea is soooo good. We got our tea from the Asian market and were sure that we knew what we were doing… I mean, it’s tea, sugar, and milk. It seems so easy, but ours didn’t turn out like we remember from Thai restaurants (what a surprise!). Post tea making, we discovered that the trick may be evaporated milk. Give it a try! Or just go get it from someone who knows what they’re doing.

And for dessert, coconut ice cream. Of course we didn’t have an ice cream machine, so we went with a machine-less version. It was pretty simple. Sugar, eggs, whipping cream, coconut milk, and shaved coconut.
