Since we had such great success at the Italian cooking glass, we thought we would add to our expertise and take a Thai class. The day turned out to be a perfect day for cooking lessons since the weather was not that great for the beach. It has been raining on and off all day. The school we chose for our training was very near our bungalow and we got to enjoy a walk on the beach before it started. There were six students, with me being the only male. As a group we got to choose five dishes to prepare and eat!!! After an intense lobbying and voting session with the other students, Katie and I were able to have all five of the dishes we wanted selected by the group. The menu consisted of the following items:
1) Coconut soup with chicken or seafood (Heaven in a bowl)
2) Sweet and sour chicken
3) Massaman curry with beef or chicken
4) Seafood fried rice
5) Red curry with chicken (Too Hot to Handle!!)
Looking at the vast menu, one might think we were pigs at a feast. Well your right, after making each dish got to have a break and enjoy our culinary masterpieces. By the end of the meal we could barely finish. We ended with the red curry, I decided to make it with a full tablespoon of curry paste which kicked up the spice meter a bit. Needless to say I was unable to eat it, which turned out okay because I was so full it would have been painful to eat another bite. It was a great experience and we now have a international menu to choose from when we cook for guests on our return home.
