Cooking Facilities

One more day of work before heading first to Bangkok and then Beijing! Woke up to an email this morning from the law firm that is investigating the ticket fraud case reporting that additional tickets were now available at cosport.com. I quickly jumped over to the site and picked up tickets for the soccer quarterfinals (probably Italy vs Belgium...i still hate Italy for the '06 World Cup) saturday night and beach volleyball quarterfinals Monday morning. I'm pumped to see the Handball competition and will probably see some Americans win gold medals at the track and field event on sunday night.

One of the advantages of the move we made early on from the Rayong City Hotel to Kantary Bay was the cooking facilities they have in the rooms here. However, after six months here I can probably count on one hand how many times I've cooked a full meal (not counting breakfast). Early on I cooked a couple meals of pasta, but lately my cooking has been limited to microwaving popcorn:


I've never been a big popcorn guy, but it's been a good snack here. From an earlier post, you can see that I also consume a fair amount of yogurt, with coconut yogurt being my current obsession. Also, the bag of peanuts on top of the microwave are natural (non-roasted) peanuts, which was a big surprise after I tossed a handful in my mouth. I don't suggest it.

Yesterday, it poured as I noted yesterday. On the way to work there's a section of the road that always gets flooded, slowing the traffic way down. For some reason, our driver keeps going back that way though.
