For Sunday


















So here are a few pictures of some of the foods we've gotten into. Mostly hits and only a couple of misses. More strikes than gutters. All in all the food has been a highlight and a reason in itself to be here. The prices have been inconsistent for sure but we've yet to spend more than ten dollars on any meal. Most often it's costing us about three to five dollars. We could be paying even less but we've adopted a habit of ordering at least three entrees for any one meal. As I write this we have just finished our fourth meal of the day. The first being the staple, egg and bread. Lunch #1 began with a pork and mustard green soup followed by a fish and tamarind soup and washed down by a few cups of strong coffee and and some carrot juice. I'll have to reserve another post at another time to write about the sweet, sweet coffee they serve over here. Lunch #2 came when another (and there have been many in the last few days) violent storm found us and we waited it out in a beachside bar/restaurant. I wasn't particularly hungry yet as I sat there and enjoyed the rain but I just couldn't pass up a thick piece of Tuna steak cooked in chili and lime juice. Especially when it cost just over two dollars. And since we've got the menu open let's just add a couple giant BBQ prawns dipped in a honey/ chili sauce. And one more cup of coffee please because I'm on vacation. Thank you. But somehow the time wittles away, it's near dark, and well the best internet access around here also happens to be a fine spot for a bite to eat so why don't you just bring us a plate of coconut prawns. But it just seems a little sparse on the table so if you wouldn't mind also cooking up that pork chop with onion sauce to kind of fill the space we would certainly appreciate it. Hmm, maybe this getting to be a little unhealthy. Yes, that's probably right. OK then bring us a plate of fruit. Now I feel better.

Ray Ray,
the food looks fantastic. I'll have the #5 with double shrimp, please. What' the national hard water? Can't live from coffee and food alone!
Have fun,
Steffi
