I'm drinking a mug of "Prince of Wales" tea, as I review my notes from today's cooking class. What a perfect day! Two hours of strolling the market lanes with the teacher answering the 1,001 questions that I've been coming up with for the past week while shopping. Then it was back to the cooking school to learn to make six different dishes. I picked some ordinary meals that I usually order in restaurants, trying for a good variety in ingredients and method. While I miss the comradery that would have occurred had there been other students, I can appreciate the personal attention the teacher gave me, as well as a much more in-depth understanding of what is needed to balance the flavors in Thai cuisine. Had there been other students I wouldn't have felt comfortable hogging all the teachers time with my questions.
