Back home after two wonderful weeks in Northern Thailand, Laos, and Kuala Lumpur. 37 CDs await me for listening! A good part thanks to my friend Lee.

Started my North European change of diet with a superb rabbit with red wine and mushrooms, cooked by me from a recipe discovered by my friend Anne. Had I been able to follow the recipe exactly, the dish would have had five stars. But since there were things such as juniper berries I didn't have, and I did not have time to marinate the rabbit for six hours, the dish only gets four and a half stars. A great gastronomic achievement, however. Regular rabbit from now on to accompany my 37 new CDs.
