Dinner last night with the family

What did I have for dinner last night? I had pizza, spaghetti, garlic bread with melted cheese in the middle. Yep, there is a pizza place not far from here. They felt it would be best for me to eat Italian food because what dad made was real spicy and I probably wouldn’t be able to handle it. Kudos go to our hosts for thinking of me. It is much appreciated. Also fai’s brother Bandid did make some yummy chicken wings. Nice job brother!

Just as we sat down to eat it started to rain, so we were going to sit outside. They have a nice area to eat under some shelter so we had to quickly move the table. It rained pretty hard for about 20mins. Cooled everything off. Which we needed because its like really hot here!

Fai, her mom, her dad, her brother and his wife, and her grandmother they made some interesting items.

They make chicken like you’ve never seen before. The chicken kinda looks like a paste before they cook it. I’m not sure if they steam it or boil it, but they stuff the chicken paste into a green leaf and wrap it tight. They cook it in that pouch. When its done they just remove the leafy wrapper and put the contents in a bowl. We had some white rice and u serve this with the rice. I did try it and it was pretty good. Lots of flavor, but maybe too spicy to eat alot. So I only just tried it.

After dinner we cleaned up and sat around outside talking to our family.

As the night went on more people arrived. Many of the people I had met on our last trip at the wedding. The kids are all growing so fast. The ones that were babies last time are now 2 yr olds. The bride from the wedding last trip is now 7 months pregnant. Time flies by.

We all hung out for awhile. Fai talking to them about different stuff. They wondered why I wore shoes and socks all of the time. Well, fai and I tried to get me some sandals but the largest size here is a size 10. That doesn’t come close to fitting my feet. I couldn’t get get my feet into the flip flop part.

Its cool though, I like wearing my shoes. I know the tops of my feet burn easy so keeping them covered I’d probably a good option.

More to come.

Its 434 am on Thursday April 11. I had fallen asleep early and then woke up early.
