In the face of today's sad news regarding Prop 8, the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, we are still lucky to have a silver lining. A loss just means a better organizing opportunity; people who will fight like they've never fought before. And the bright hope of our future electeds:

I can talk food for days. Literally, days. I think it's my favorite subject, above and beyond, because unlike politics it tends to garner only the most positive of reactions, and while I don't mind cooking up a nasty look every once in a while, I'd much rather be cooking something with lemon grass and turmeric.
On my recent vacation to Chiang Mai, Thailand (which I am still planning to write about, but you know how it is, I tend to drop the ball on long-term blog projects), I took a Thai cooking class in a little open-air bungalow. Before the class, the instructor took my partner and me to the produce market, where my eyes went buck-wild and I turned into a trigger-happy camera-holder. The market was insane. Fresh produce, vivid colors, pungent scents, strong flavors, you name it. Check out some photos:
Hopefully soon I'll have time to post photos of all the food from the cooking classes. Stay tuned!
