Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Foodies & Penn State Fans! What a fun week I have had. Last week, whiskey beef fondue, with all of its bold Asian flavors, left me wanting more soy sauce, garlic and spicy chile peppers. So, in the midst of just what might have been the most depressing, boring week in the history of mankind, I made a vat of Thai chicken stock. With that one simple act, my Happy Valley kitchen celebrated what shall hereafter be referred to as: The Week of The Thai Soup Feast. TAKE THAT MARDI GRAS!!!
Pictured above is the Chef's Thai-Soup Tasting Plate: All three soups with a side of jasmine rice! Dear Diary:
February 10th. Spicy Thai-Style Carrot-Ginger-Coconut Bisque: The fusion of two distinct cuisines. The French method of cooking bisque combined with authentic Thai ingredients!
February 12th. Thai Hot & Spicy Prawn Soup (Tom Yam Kung): The #1 soup in Thailand and #8 on the World's Most Popular Foods list!
February 14th. Thai Glass Noodle Soup w/Petite Pork Meatballs: Thai street food at its best and joefromboalsburg's favorite!
For the recipes, as always, just go to: Jessedotsmom's Foodie Blog
Bring on "Fat Tuesday"!!!
For the glory,
Mel.

Looks like some good eating right there.

It really is Thursday...
go figure. It comes around every week right about now!
jessedotsmom - February 16, 2012
Thats crazy
Pretty soon you will be telling me that Wednesdays are in the middle of the week.
AriesGD - February 16, 2012
Oh, these are right in my culinary wheelhouse
Thanks for posting these! Now to start making the preparations to make them all…

One Soup Stock... Three soups!
Make a big batch of stock and freeze it!
jessedotsmom - February 16, 2012
Oh, this is gettin' done at my house.
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
Once the stock is made (which isn't hard to do)...
… the soups are a breeze! I truly do hope you make any or all of them!
jessedotsmom - February 16, 2012
I'm all about that bisque
but you have to have a King Cake!
and you want the baby in your piece!
letsgopsu - February 16, 2012
That is not what she said.
skarocksoi - February 21, 2012
What does the future hold
if the “baby” is a victim of the cake cutting?
I’m sticking with Fasnachts. No potentional for headless baby bad tidings there.
rahpsu92 - February 21, 2012
I thought
That you not supposed to cut the cake for that reason, instead grab pieces off with your hands.
AriesGD - February 21, 2012
The stock itself sounds great!
letsgopsu - February 16, 2012
Seriously...
… FOR REAL! I’m thinking about making and posting a king cake recipe (I’m a HUGE HBO Treme fan), but, it’s hard to find plastic babies on-line. That being said, if you get the piece of king cake with the baby in it, it means you have to make the cake next year, so, be careful what you wish for!!!
Wanted: source for plastic babies.

I just ordered a bag full of babies!!!
jessedotsmom - February 16, 2012
Why does this make me feel like...
… Fat Bastard???
jessedotsmom - February 16, 2012
Was rather surreal
Typing in, miniture plastic babies, into a search.
AriesGD - February 16, 2012
someone say surreal?
mikeissurreal - February 17, 2012
I will be in NOLA in 11 days
it will be too late for this year, but I bet I can pick you up a big bag of those babies pretty cheap!
I did get one years ago. I worked with a woman from NOLA who ordered a King Cake for work every year.
Dinner the first night is at Mr. B.‘s Cafe, one of Brennan’s restaurants. Can’t wait! Most other nights will be conference type food. Blech.
letsgopsu - February 16, 2012
I've been told...
… the same plastic baby gets handed down and passed along from year to year. How much fun is that!?!
jessedotsmom - February 16, 2012
I had a Thai roommate who would cook for us sometimes
he made some pretty awesome soup. Might have to try this on my own.
skarocksoi - February 21, 2012
I hope you do...
… I learned “the art of Thai cooking” from a Home Economist from Thailand (who was living here in Happy Valley for a couple of years). I think you will find my recipes and flavor combinations truly authentic!
