None taken Ayrton, I was meaning that life is good for us down here, we are very laid back people and that saying means that we enjoy life.Ayrton said:Hope you didn't take offense -- none intended at all!
"Wouldn't be dead for quids"??!! I have NO idea what that means !
Chopstix said:A very popular Thai dessert is Mango Sticky Rice (Khao nyeow mamuang). Basically it's sticky rice steamed and mixed with coconut milk and sugar. Delicious with mango slices.
Yakuta said:Urmaniac, I get the same feeling when I see the tomatoes, fresh basil and not to mention the aged parmesean and other yummy cheeses that come from Italy.
It's good that some of the Italian goodies have made it to the US. I guess it would have been a huge loss not to have experienced the nutty and delish cheeses from Italy.
Chopstix said:Asians are fiercely proud of their own country's mangoes and would get into arguments about it. The Indians believe they have the best mangoes. The Filipinos, Thais and others think the same thing! That's why my husband, whose Asian team is having their annual meeting in Bangkok next month, is organizing a mango blind taste test as a fun extracurricular activity. Each one from a different country will bring their country's best mangoes. There'll be a panel of blindfolded tasters. To lend credibility to the exercise, the test will be administered by the regional market research person. Is that interesting or what?! I'll report back on what happens.
