The cat/vet issue of which I spoke in the last post has been positively resolved. No further issues with string and the cat his home busily attacking (aka, scratching up) the comforter set i bought yesterday for my bed. Let's hope she soon gets bored with the newness of it all as I spent way too much on it for her to use as a scratching pad.
Last night's culinary experimentation with tom kha kai (basically Thai coconut/chicken soup with lemongrass) was a success. Rather simple recipe too, once you manage to locate all of the ingredients. I took most of it to work today for any employees so inclined to try it and those that did absolutely loved it, so I've formally added it to the menu of the forthcoming dinner gathering. The stir-fried Chinese broccoli with chilis and dried shrimp also turned out well, though to be honest it's one of those "can't fail" dishes, unless you are just so inept in cooking ability that you can't even boil water.
Still two more recipes to try between now and next weekend (savory minced pork (or chicken) salad and papaya salad). If I'm feeling energetic I may even try my hand at making homemade spring rolls, but they seem like a lot of work for very little return given the fact that they can be inexpensively acquired from any Thai restaurant. But the latter option is no challenge at all.
