lettuce eatery
I discovered a salad bar near my work a few months ago, and I’ve been addicted to their ceaser salads ever since. The place is called lettuce eatery, and offers a wide variety of lettuces and other ingredients so you can make any salad you could possibly think of. They have a menu for “chef…

Thoughts on Bangkok’s Military Coup
Coup! What Coup? Dave and I were very surprised to wake up last Wed. morning, 21st September, to a barrage of emails from concerned friends and family asking if we were ok. We had been out the night before to a Fado concert (it was wonderful and I will write about that later) and on…
