Shaking and Baking

Julie has just completed her second week of her culinary certification in Melbourne. The classes for this term are Pastries and Desserts, Eggs, Vegetables and Farinaceous, and Update Food and Beverage Knowledge. Her pastries still need work, but her Hell's Kitchen teacher will surely scream at her until perfection is achieved!!!

On the return route from Krabi to Australia, Julie was required to spend the day in Bangkok again to await a late evening flight back to Melbourne. She had a harrowing taxi ride (no seatbelt and in monsoonal weather) into the city to take a Thai cooking class at the Blue Elephant. The restaurant is world-renowned and has several locations across the Middle East and Europe. On the menu for the day was, Green Curry Chicken, Spicy Green Papaya Salad, Spicy Prawn Soup, and Pad Thai.

Let me tell you.....Those little Bird's Eye Green Chilies will get you. Crying and all, the feast afterwards was excellent!
