Each winter Gardens Alive sends us a catalog with coupon for $25 off. No minimum, and counts toward the $7.95 shipping fee, so you have $17.05 with which to play. This year, we ordered some seeds, but you can get organic lawn products, or how about putting it towards a bat house? Ask for a catalog here.

January 8th, 2009Kwaytiow Paht Ki-mao (Stir-fried rice noodles with pork and chilies)
December 8th, 2008From the terrific Real Thai: The Best of Thailand’s Regional Cooking
The rice noodles are cooked by simply pouring boiling water over them in a bowl and letting stand a few minutes. An easy way to make them bite-sized is to just use scissors.
The pork is cut into short strips and then fried in garlic (of course) and fresh chilies (serranos).
We like lots of greens. Holy basil (bai ga-prao) would be best, but this time we used the common sweet basil and some mint.
Add some fish sauce and tomatoes and you are good to go.
