it's all over ...

well this will be my first post in a long time and it's just to say that i am back in bangkok and i have a week of photos to post, but it will take forever ... which means that from now on you will get a dizzying culinary mixture of food here and food there until everything will become so confusing that it won't be worth the effort to straighten it all out, ah the joy of blogging ...

and just so that it's clear that i still barely have the will to continue this blog thing, this:



is a picture of the tangerine like trees that were everywhere here just before the tet holiday, the vietnamese new year, of course the most popular means of transporting these trees is on the back of one of these:



word is it that after the holiday the fruit is turned into a candy-like sweet, yummy.

fluffy goodness ...

i have been a little remiss in all of my blogging duties (whatever!), and my delay to get new pictures up has been related to a little bit of laziness, some work getting in the way, and some travel (not to mention blogspot is incredibly slow) ...

so to tide you over until i get back into the swing of things here is something sweet:



classic creampuffs, which were accompanied by two of these:



and this (which was bought as a gift, HA!):



which looks like this in the middle, i like how my camera couldn't handle its sweety goodness and focused on the background:



can you tell who has just found their neighborhood bakery, actually its not my neighborhood, i have to walk a little bit to get to it, but's in the only area where i can get real produce, fruit, and all this sweet stuff, in general it was all a little dry and the creampuffs were airy and almost contentless, kind of like blogging itself!
