Im Lao

Tonight the farong teachers at the school that I teach for, pulled together a western meal for a bunch of the Thai teachers from the local government school. Man did we eat well! Ken and Melissa hosted us all at their house. They made the main course, roast beef. We also had mashed potatoes, gravey, vegetables, crab on toast, fresh tropical fruits, deviled eggs, sauted mushrooms, and for desert brownies, cakes, and chocolate banana crepes with real whipped cream. Anybody hungry? We wanted them to try good, true American food. The only form that they were familiar with was the kind taken from the counter at the golden arches. We talked about culture, teaching, and food. They helped us with our Thai, and we helped them with their English. Good food, good conversation, good times.
