Frankly, after all I've been through this year with the cancer and the
horrific chemotherapy (the worst of the lot...made all the other chemo
and radiation stuff before look like child's play), I'm just happy to
see 2007 go away. So, to 2007, I say, sod off!
I won't so much be celebrating the new year...I'll be celebrating the
END of this one...and I've already got dinner planned out: it starts
out with a couple of Thai spring rolls (my first attempt, and thanks to
the Thai lady who, with her husband, runs the local Thai Market, and who
has also taught me the Thai way---as opposed to the foodnetwork.com or
cooks.com way---to cook Thai food, they came out perfect the first time).
Then, after a bit, we move on to the main course: Pad Thai (skip
"Round-eye hot", skip "Thai hot", skip "Nuclear", and go straight to
"Plasma").
And to everyone else...here's wishing you a great and happy new year!
Later,

PS: When it comes to what I've learned about Thai cooking, I owe it all
to one lady: the lady who, with her husband, runs the "Thai Market"
around the corner from where I live. Basically, she taught me the
Thai way to make Thai food, as opposed to the American (or other)
chef's way to make what they think Thai food is like. It's like
any other type of cooking...e.g., you aren't likely to learn the
right way to cook Mexican food in Chicago...but there's no better
place to learn to make Chicago style stuffed pizza.....
