Our Thai Neighbors

Graham and I have been making an effort to get to know our neighbors more now that Titus has been born.  We met several of them ahead of time, but just didn't have a lot of time to get together with them...  So recently we've had some great opportunities to hang out with them more.  Nye and Lek live next store to us and invited us over for Thai food (because they are from Thailand).  Apparently we are the first neighbors to come for Thai food in 10 years of them living here...  so they pulled out all the stops for us.  You can see the spread below...  from the far end of the table the dishes are:  Jasmine Rice, Chicken Pad Thai, Thai Salad, Tilapia in a sweet, sour and salty sauce, and pork in a pineapple curry.  We also each had a bowl of soup to eat throughout the meal on the side.  Fortunately, they toned down the spiciness for us - it was absolutely amazing!!  We really enjoyed every bite!  And we loved our culture lesson on Thailand as we ate.  It was really fun to get to know Nye and Lek better... now we just have to figure out what to cook for them when they come over here - it will be a very hard act to follow.

Sorry the picture is so fuzzy - Graham had to take it with his phone.
