Thursday~ Two BTS trains later and we have arrived at SILOM for our cooking class!!!
Coffee stop #2 for the day at Dean and Deluca...
Look at all this yummy stuff!!
We met our contact Lucy at the BTS stop. There was only 3 of us... Kristy and I and then Simon who was from Europe. Chef Lucy is that guy way ahead of us and he just takes off and we follow him kinda confused about what is going on!!
He brings us to a travel agency where we sit and are still pretty confused...
Turns out we were just waiting for the rest of our group so off we go to the market!!
Simon and Kristy
We arrive at an outdoor Thai style market!! So much fun already!
We each get a little basket and they stick random different ingredients we will be using in everybodies baskets (about 12 people).
we load up on shrimp...
chicken...
freshly shredded coconut!
These are our 2 chefs! They are talking to us about the different types of herbs and vegetables! Different types of ginger, basil, tons of stuff!!
My basket!! sticky mushrooms (weird) mango, chilies, etc...
our group walking to the place to cook...
super fun!!!
We pulled frogs out of a basket to determine what food prep team we are on!
Kristy and I were in charge of peeling ginger and onions....
making coconut milk!
Cute aprons, we both bought one!!
Tom Yum Guy soup!!
on to dish 2...

Dish 3 red curry with chicken (I thought I didn't like curry but it turns out curry in Thailand is delicious!)...
once you see oil around the edges it's done...
on to Dish 4 green curry
each of us are chopping ingredients for the green curry...
green curry grinding time!
Delicious... and I am getting very full!!
Made room for mango and sticky rice though!!!
We got a wonderful cook book that will be so helpful!! I can't wait to come back and learn more!!
I felt like that was an eventful morning so what better to do than GET A MASSAGE!!
I went to Heath Land again and this time I got a 2 hour oil massage (about $40 US dollars)!
Then off to meet Lyn for wine and to visit and talk about how I am going to help AWC (American Women's Club) with walking tours!!!
The lights in the trees were so cool, it looked like rain!
The two previous posts were very interesting. The cooking classes looks like a lot of fun and a real learning experience at the same time. The best part is that you get to taste so many difference dishes! Chinatown also looks very interesting. I am glad you finished off our weekend with two very nice posts with lots of photos. I forward each and every one of them to Dick's iPAD. Just before bedtime every night, Dick asks if we received a blog from Krissy and reads it before going to bed. BT
