JenB are y'all talking of Thai food? I LOVE THAI. I searched all over for one of the main herb ingredients, makrut kaffir lime tree. The leaves are used in a lot of the coconut based stuff. For some reason, and I am guessing because of the citrus industry, no one is allowed to 'import' that tree into Texas, California or Florida...but its essential in Thai, I have found. Makes a world of difference.
Okay...NOW I'm hungry...
Thai is sooooo good. I primarily use curry paste, coconut milk, and sriachi sauce, but next time I go to the Wal-mart I'm going to get some fish sauce which is another good spicy thing.
I put beef, pork, or chicken in. It's good with any of those.
Looking forward to seeing what you send me! I'm going out for a bit here but I'll be back later and will send you some stuff then. I have some ideas on a few of the panels.
I think I was the one who brought up Thai food--Jen was talking about coconut milk, which is what made me think of that. I love Thai food, though!--esp. spicy chicken dishes (chicken with pineapple is probably my favorite) and Tom Yum Gai.
