Ten years ago, I was burned out after one news editing job in D.C. and while looking for a new newsroom job, managed to get a sweet 6-week cat-sitting gig in Chiang Mai, Thailand where I also went to cooking school.

Among the dishes I made a decade ago, via my photo archives: Pork with flat noodles, chilli peppers, cauliflower and sauce thickened with tapioca; and Chiangmaiese style snakehead fish curry.

As last night stew proved popular I’m posting tonight’s offering. Thai yellow curry with tofu, served with a side of Thai rice. The curry paste is made up of chilli flakes, turmeric, ground coriander, lemongrass paste, fresh ginger, garlic and coriander. I fried shallots and added the paste, yellow and red peppers, corn off the cob, tofu and a can of coconut milk. Cooked on the hob.
