Lunch is homemade Pad Krapao, trying to use the pea-eggplants from the garden and leftover nor mai.

When diving was a 1st class experience in the Andaman Sea.... I did my Padi in 1992 on Tioman island... diving before 2000 in those waters was really a privilege...

Found my 32-year-old dive logbook… and it sent me right back to the Andaman Sea, long nights on deck, insane underwater caves, guns to the head, incredible Thai meals, and unforgettable friends.
Chapter 5 of my memoirs is live.

Eremition…
Is it just a fact of aging?

These Desert Roses came with the house we bought 23 years ago. They’ve just lived in the same pots, occasionally hibernating when I forget to water them for six months. They have wild, prehistoric-looking seed pods every few years. This year, I planted them. #Bangkokgarden

I always check and shake out my shoes before putting them on. I finally found something.

Decent harvest of various types of eggplants. Time for a Thai green curry. #Bangkokgarden

My weather app said yesterday that it would rain in Bangkok at 7:00 am today. Bang on 7, it’s raining! In the dry season. After not having any rain for weeks. Wild.

In 1995, my Bangkok business partner and friend, Robbie Gilchrist, & I flew to Bali for sun, sand, and cocktails, but accidentally arrived on the one day the island shuts down, Nyepi. A random adventure to West Timor followed…

Oh, damn. @darryldaugherty.bsky.social’s ‘like’ on one of my posts just now reminded me that I forgot to post my Shan Burmese lunch today. The chicken feet was a mistake. We thought we were ordering the other parts of the chicken.

I wonder if flights to Columbia will be cheaper after trump starts a war with Venezuela. Maybe I should wait a week or two.

I look forward to every meal I have condimented with my homemade Dijon mustard. Every time the recipe calls for water, I choose white wine instead. I also like it a little grainy.
