Travel: Jim Thompson House in Bangkok
Jim Thompson House in Bangkok This is our first stop on day two of our three days in Bangkok. The best part about visiting the site is that you get a tour of the grounds. The tour is informative and about 30 minutes long. We had a wonderful guide – she answered so many of our questions and taught me things I’ll never forget, like how raised door frames prevent bad spirits from entering the room. History So, who is Jim Thompson? He’s an American…

Recipe: Gluten Free Breakfast Pizza
Gluten free breakfast pizza – we just finished eating this and it was so good. Why, you ask? Well, last night the plan was to make pizza, however, a bit of a hic-up in our guest room set us back. Yes, the guest room was done, however, we decided to update the baseboard and do some crown moulding in the room. The problem? We painted the room beige when we move in back in November 2011, yet we never took the trim off; and who…
