So I kind of had this thing going on where, it had been so long since I posted anything, so I didn't want to post again until it was like something really great. To be honest, I don't really have any magnificent wonderment stored up. Then I realized that I'd have to just put one foot in front of the other and get posting again.
Above you can see one of my favorite snacks. I wish I knew the name in Thai, but I don't. Inside, it is sticky rice and coconut milk. A lot of Thai sweets are made of these basic 2 ingredients. Some add things, some do not.
For this one, there is usually either a strip of banana or a few taro beans. I like it both ways. It's just wrapped in some kind of leaf so it doesn't burn, and slow roasted.
When you peel the leaf off, its actually quite slick from the oils in the sticky rice. That also ensures that the inside doesn't stick to the wrapper. One of these little puppies sets you back about $.15.
