Thai advice

Sorry about the lack of blogs recently - I (Kate) have been poorly! I have had a chest infection, in fact it seems that everyone in Bangkok has a cough.

I thought I would pass on some Thai wisdom that has been handed down to me about recovering from a bad chest:

1. you must no eat coconut milk
2. you must no eat fried garlic
(I'm not sure how you avoid these two things in Thai cooking!)
3. you must no drink iced coffee - this one is just cruel!
4. gargle with salt water - but don't swallow or you die!
5. Tom Yam soup (hot and sour soup) - cures everything!

I'm off to make James another hot chocolate - just stirred curry into his first one!
