CoTT 2 House of Cards

OMG the air is cold. Turned my mare out for twenty minutes while I picked out her stall. That's hard to do when it's frozen.

I am finally going to say Good Night and Bonne Nuit All! Take care.

Sounds like your dad is trying.  

He is. He called and text this week, keeping in touch. 

I hadn't told you about this but we I didn't had to write that letter after the holidays as he confronted me when he dropped me at the apartment after the holiday. I told him how I was feeling, about his attitude etc. But thing is we're moving at 2 different timelines. For him his life has been tough for years and now he feels free and need to move on. He want me to accept his relationship and be not have to separate his time between her and me. Where i need to take time to assimilate and accept what happened, it's only been a year and a half, and that my life will never be the same, that the person who was my person and my whole world isn't there anymore and that with his attitude I don't feel at home in the house anymore. He said ok but the next weekend when I came back home he had taken off all the pictures of my mom, every single one, her plants and some knickknacks... 

It'll take some time.

OMG I had a steak for dinner is was so so good! Nicely grilled on the outside and perfectly red inside. A bit of butter for the sauce, a pinch of salt et voila!

You Bet!!! I love many foods, but tamales made right are one of my top comfort foods.  At least share the recipe.

Share my mother's recipe? Hmm... I don't have the authorization to do that.

It's in your inbox I think you will find its a lot of work to make Tamales.

And Drew is lucky to have a saint for a mother to go to so much trouble

It's definitely a lot of work to make tamales, that's why she only makes them for Christmas.

Well since I got a hug and kiss okay but now I really want rice pudding.

BTW do you still have the long hair and scruff?

Ooh sorry Sexy, but when my mom makes arroz con leche, it is all consumed within the day. No way to share, even if I wanted to.  

As for my hair...

The most we're likely to get is a tamale scented burp ...

Y'all wouldn't even get that.  Not because I'm ungenerous, but because I always cover my mouth when I burp. I told y'all, my table manners are exemplary.

Drew's the baby of the family of course Mommy would give in to his whims

Excuse me?! First off, I'm not the baby of the family, my younger brother is!  Secondly, my mother had nothing to do with the tamales I ate this weekend. They were made at a local restaurant.

Aloha Dughlas hope your better today!

Greetings Albert. I have spent the day resting quietly, the migraine hasn't worsened so I've avoided pain meds.

To be fair, it is his mother’s recipe and she may not want to share. My grandmother took her rice salad recipe to her grave  

Sad to have lost your grandmother's recipe, that could have been a treasured family heirloom.

@raven1 I watch a lot of street food videos on YouTube and this one came up in my suggestions.  I had to watch because it's in Chiang Mai.  It looks like a beautiful place to be

Talking is what is important. You don't have to agree... it's unlikely you and he will ever look at it the same way, but you have to respect how each other feels.

Yep, That Chiang Mai. A neat find Val.  As the man says, Thais love their food.  I liked that he focused on the older and very quaint places that can be found.  They are very interesting and traditional.  The Morning Market is huge covering about 20 blocks, and has two blocks with three story markets.  It sells about everything from flowers, nuts and silk to plastic containers and bamboo furniture.  All the restaurants buy their food there in the morning, because the food is fresh and the prices are wholesale. Of course, this is just one aspect of the food scene, since tourism has fostered the growth of many plush and more expensive restaurants and coffee houses.  These are more expensive, but very cheap compared to European and North American prices.  They also serve food from many different countries, not just Thailand.  Great clip!  Thanks Val. It is a very beautiful city.
