and on the 7th day...

hello... my name is jeff and I'm a blogger... it's be less than 12 hours since my last entry...

(hello Jeff) said in unison (that's your part)

I know the traditional story says that on the 7th day, God rested, but obviously he end up at the floating market just outside of Bangkok after creating the universe as we know it... otherwise i'm sure it would have read... and on the 7th day, God ate.

I have been amazed at how little food i've needed the last week. First it's hot and then there's all the excitement, but i really have felt fine on one meal a day, a snack or two and lots of liquids... however yesterday i think i ate somewhere near 45 different meals.

I had a coconut and egg omelette, grilled pork on a stick, duck that literally fell of the bone... I had a dessert called phuk (that could be wrong, and by could be, I mean it's wrong for sure) that had batter with sugar and coconut milk, I also had burnt cocunut, and jack fruit, little mango like things that can only be found in Thailand... then of course there where the real mangos, that are served with sticky rice and a sweet sauce, and I can't forget the 3 different dishes othat started with thai noodles as the base, then topped with garlic and chicken, bamboo sprouts and coconut sause and then something else that was probably my favorite but can't pronounce any of the ingredients... then there was another desert that resembled fruit cocktail except much better again with not a single item that I could tell you with any certainty... and in between the was of course the fruit smoothies, the chocolate sprinke covered little dough sticks and I almost forgot the tofu with spicy sauce and the fried bananas that started the whole thing...

that was most of it, although I'm sure i'm forgetting a few things... i seem to be having a little trouble thinking straight... let me get a little lunch and then I'll try again : )

seems like the market isn't the only thing that might go floating down the river

ciao for now....
