Waiting for Expo 2015...an interesting experiment!

I just have watched a very nice video on youtube and I can't avoid sharing it. It's about Americans who tried Thai sweets for the first time of their lives. They might not have had such a good experience but I love their expressions. Well, Thai sweets are too strange for the Westerners, both in the aspect and the taste. I occasionally cook or buy some but my Italian family just simply never try them. They reject them completely!!! Thus, I found this video very funny and pleasant :)

A great time with my great friends

Yesterday I really had a great time with my Thai friends. I invited them to have lunch together and to up-date all the news. The 3 lovely friends are Thai wives who have lived in Italy for longer time than me. Ther're numerous Thai women in my city, more than I ever imagined but sincerely I prefer having only some but good friends. We talked a lot and surely we had a lot of fun. My boy, who's on summer holidays, had a smaller friend to keep company. He took the occasion to play as the big brother.

The night before, I marinated the chicken breasts in coconut milk, curry powder and some other ingredients. I grilled them with my friends for the lunch. In addition, I prepared a soup with stuffed zucchini and I also let them try the salted eggs I made. Cooking our dishes and speaking our language make us feel we're home! Seeing that lately I threw myself into the cooking field, I let you see my dishes. They were superb ;-)

They brought me the cakes and a Thai dessert but I didn't take the photo. I can say that another extraordinary day of mine ended.
