FREE Thai Food E-Books! No purchase required…
Sawasdee Ka!
I just finished writing a new page here at the blog… in the upper left hand side you can see it - “FREE Thai Food E-Books!”.
We decided to just give away both of our e-books for free since we’ll be able to have more people see them and enjoy them!
If you don’t know what an e-book is, it’s simply a Word file with photos and nice formatting converted into an Adobe PDF format that you can read on your computer, PDA, phone, or maybe even your watch. It makes the files easy to read on electronic readers too - you may have heard about Microsoft’s and Amazon’s new readers. They are e-book readers designed specially for reading e-books.
If you want to get both e-books here are the links below…

Moo Pad Prig No Mai (Pork and Bamboo Shoot Stir-Fry) is usually found in the Thai family. It is very easy to make as we use instant paste. You should pick the one which is not too spicy called Prik Gang Paste. If you cook it for children skip the chili peppers. 
At home my aunt loved to use pork meat with fat stick to it. This is not good for your health though. I don’t know if my family are lucky or not for never get fat, doesn’t matter how much we ate. We are slow-eater, I guess that’s why. I and my aunt were always the last two people sitting at the dining table and my aunt always won as the last person who finished the meal. I spent 45 minutes on average to finish. So, my mom said, if there was a war outside, you would be dead here eating still.
*Note
Thai people said, “The last who leaves the table, the one who have to clean up the mess”
I was always that one….(-_-”)
