Sorry for the lack of posts &#8211; traveled a total of over 7 wks (mostly to visit friends and family) and can&#8217;t seem to quite recover yet.  It doesn&#8217;t help that I just started a new full-time job so I&#8217;m exhausted as hell.  Do you know how hard it is to go through thousands of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=desperatelyseekingcrab.com&blog=3187847&post=583&subd=desperatelyseekingcrab&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I am not a wimp but my gut isn&#8217;t what it used to be.  I went to Bangkok with EVERY intention on actually eating food off street stalls because they are often very tasty and authentic.  Some of my best memories of eating throughout Mexico were the dodgy-looking tacos, ice creams and grilled corns from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=desperatelyseekingcrab.com&blog=3187847&post=561&subd=desperatelyseekingcrab&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This photo was taken on a random street in Bangkok on our search for Chote Chitr restaurant (reviewed on NPR and NY Times &#8211; story on that later), it was very near to the restaurant on the main road.  Although the weather was scorching hot and humid, I just couldn&#8217;t pass by these hot treats [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=desperatelyseekingcrab.com&blog=3187847&post=549&subd=desperatelyseekingcrab&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
