Yep, it's that time again - Thai New Year! This year, Becca and Nick graciously offered to host our annual Thai New year festivities at their home. Two big advantages... I got to use their beautiful kitchen (5 burner gas stove - yay) and our guests got to spread out and mingle without tripping over each other. Unfortunately, in what is becoming a yearly occurence, between the chaos of cooking and chatting with so many friends, only a few pictures were taken. Here's me with my cooking partner Shannon. We couldn't have pulled it off without her unflagging energy, sous chef talent, ethusiasm and incredible clean-up skills! Thank you Shannon!
We don't have a shot of the aptly named "Curry Corner" (four different Thai curries and one pot of Tom Kha Goong soup) but here are some of the other dishes:
The desserts included (clockwise from left) mango and sticky rice, black sticky rice with strawberry/ginger and mango sauces (courtesy of Mike), coconut custard, sticky rice, more coconut custard steamed in a squash, and bananas in coconut milk (made by Sarah).
My favorite part of the evening was when Malea arrived with Felix, dressed in a colorful Chinese outfit her grandfather had bought for her in Thailand. The best part, she picked out the outfit herself (over another party dress I had layed out)! Our girl must have known it was Songkran celebration time!
As always, it was wonderful to share food and fun times with so many good friends. Wishing you all a Happy Thai New Year!
