Impromptu Grill Party!

I’m sure by now you are wondering if we have stopped grilling and partying because of the weather. The answer to that is a definite “no!” In fact, last Sunday was a great evening because I got one of those phone calls that invited us to an impromptu grill party!
So, I get this call (in Chinese):
“Mr. Mi-ken (Thai speakers say Michael like that), can you come over for grilled food and drinking?
“Yes, I should be able to come, thank you.” (was that a trick question?)

Of course, our friendly Sang Som Royal Thai Rum was in attendance!

Notice the chicken leg with the foot still on.

This gas fired grill made quick work of the chicken!
But I didn’t get to eat for long, as I was dragged down to Shao-hui’s Thai Star disco to do an impromptu show with Fong. Unfortunately there are no shots of me playing with Fong because when I’m on stage there is no one around to handle the camera - that is unless Craig Ferguson is there! You should click on that link to see what a real photographer can do!
But I did manage to get a few shots of the guest band Blue Sky

Also, A-nune (lead singer of Fong) and is pretty wife. After the show we went back to the party.

This is me with my Thai children. This is a local joke in my neighborhood and they all love playing it out.
You can check out more photos on flickr.com. Cu next time!

MJ. Looked like a great night and I am sure you had fun as your favourite rum was involved.
It looks as though there is a good community of Thai people around you and Thais no how to enjoy themselves.
As for chicken feet. I eat them, they are okay but chewy and fatty. Thais love their soups and spicy salads that contain feet. But again Thais don’t really waste any part of an animal after it has been slaughtered.

What’s up with the flags in background?
People have got to eat, but I’m looking forward to non-food non-booze friends are all around entry.

Phone cards? I’m going to have to check that out.
A guy’s got to eat, I guess, with a little something to wash it down. Looks good anyway.

I’m not leaving either, MJ. It looks like you have a sweet set-up, starting with having nobody to report to. To me, that’s the best way to spend the last third of a life (though you’re married, so there’s some room for me to question your motto). I’m already spoken for when it comes to new year celebrations, but am looking forward to joining you for a grill party some time in 2008. Keep up the good work on your blog next year - I, for one, am enjoying its content.
There’s nothing like a little nip of something to take the edge off being here, though maybe one of my resolutions should be complain less, enjoy more.
