Meals and Movies

If you liked the flavors featured in this week's Ingredient of the Week recipe, you'll find plenty more inspiration at this week's featured Web site: http://www.thaitable.com/.

Recipes featured one day this week included the classic stir-fry pad thai, an asian twist on a Southern U.S. favorite, crispy fried okra (grajiab tod) and the classic Thai dessert mango sticky rice (kow neuw mamuang). The recipes include pictures of various steps and are clear and easy to follow.

There's even a section for beginners near the top of the home page -- "Getting Started?" -- that links to pages exploring the basic Thai tastes and ingredients.

There's plenty more to peruse on the site too, to learn more about the Thai culture, along with travel tips, if traveling with your tastebuds doesn't suffice!
