With the arrival of cool and wet weather, the weeds in my garden are sprouting back rapidly. How can they grow so much faster, on neglect, than the plants you care for lovingly?!

Yesterday felt like a soup day for me, even though, according to my husband, it was humid and muggy outside. I wouldn’t really know, as I was kept indoors with the AC running at full blast. I craved soup because I was battling nasal congestion and a scratchy throat. This time of year, I always […]| Fiesta Friday
After several mishaps, such as growing the wrong type or not growing enough, I finally harvested enough Thai Holy Basil yesterday to replicate an authentic Pad Gaprao I once tasted in Bangkok. Chicken Pad Gaprao with Fried Egg Pad Gaprao, which translates to Stir-fry with Holy Basil, and hence the importance of holy basil as […]| Fiesta Friday
