I soon discovered that nearly every Chinese restaurant in the area employed Thai cooks who were regular early A.M. visitors to our dump with purloined fixings from their places of employment. Those early morning feeds were amazing. I think that stomach toughening regime is why Mexican waiters look at me in awe as I bolt down their spiciest dishes without a burp or a request for a refill on my drink.

I make an awesome kim chi and varieties of quickbread if anyone interested.
