Tonight we got brave and ordered "spicy" at our favorite Thai restaurant. We met the owner at the temple we visit. We practiced a few of our phrases on her and she graciously helped us with our pronunciation.
John ate: Pad Kra Prow Moo - Pork with green chili peppers, onion and basil.
June ate: Gai Pad Med Ma-Muang Him Ma Parn - Chicken and cashew nuts sauteed with onions, mushrooms, and dried chili peppers in a tasty gravy sauce.
Although the dishes are called "spicy" John and I both found our reaction to be the same - warmth in the tissue of the mouth, tingling lips and a runny nose. But boy were those dishes good. We can definitely get used to this. Another interesting thing - we have read that in Thailand food is typically eaten with a spoon - not a fork and chop sticks are used only for soup.
After 15 beautiful years in Aiea, Hawaii we strike out once again. On to my "home" in Manhattan for new adventures. Hawaii and the people remain in our hearts.
