Today, I'm craving a salad.

I just returned from a birthday trip to Bangkok with my long time friend, Ambika and boyfriend, Michael. We walked the streets, sat in temples, endured the heat, and ate great food, but my need for a fresh NewSeasons salad has not been satiated. I am dying for a fresh, uber-salad with sunflower seeds, tofu, tomatoes, onions...the works.

From my travels in SE Asia, I would have to say that Laos has, hands down, the freshest, most delicious food. The blend of fresh produce with spices, sugars...Ahhh, the tactile smells. I think it's food time. Have a great Saturday or Friday.
