Dragons and Lions and nunchucks

Probably the most photographers for this event in years. 

Could be because three bus loads of Udon people participated in the event.

Facinating how the three buses made their U-turns in front of the shrine. 

Plenty of uniformed and plain clothes traffic and security. 

Once again I stood in the wrong place when the fireworks went off สกลนคร Sakon Nakhon

Healthy dining on local mushrooms

Local friends have gone into mushroom farming, hoping for lucrative results. 

I've always included mushrooms in my home cooking in soups, stew, or fried with onions. Great accompaniment for a steak.

When frying in butter or olive oil, expect shringage, as mushrooms are nearly 85% water

In soup I prefer buying a variety of mushrooms blended together and with garlic and thymes.

Locally grown, so you should discover local discounts
