I have a hearing problem!:)
Today when I went to the Shelter to teach English, the whiteboard had a drawing of a guy holding flowers. Awwww, isn't that sweet? :) I kinda liked it.:)
Tonight I ordered--I thought--a dish containing minced pork. When I opened the box at home, it looked suspiciously like something else familiar. Sure enough, it is pork liver. When I opened my dictionary to find the Thai word for liver, I found the word "dtap". The word for minced pork is "sap", and the name of the dish I thought I was ordering is "lap moo". So I'm not too sure where the hearing problem came in, but I am currently eating pork liver over rice. It is actually very tasty, cut small and sliced thin, very tender, and with a sort of barbecue sauce over it.
I am also eating more raw green beans. One of them is 18 inches long!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and our team is having a team Thanksgiving meal in the evening. I am planning to bake pumpkin pie at Tom and Candice's house. Tonight I picked up the pumpkin that one of the street vendors agreed to peel, cook, and "de-seed" for me. So yea! Tomorrow we get pumpkin pie! And chicken and stuffing/filling/dressing/whatever you call it and mashed potatoes and.....??? Yummm!

That is incredible that a street vendor agreed to peel, cook and de-seed your pumpkin for you! How did you manage to convice him of that? That is one reason I haven't been brave enough to attempt one myself yet:)
