OK, What Are We Doing . . .
Back in America when you think fishing, it usually involves poles, bait, maybe a boat. Thailand? Not so much!
Yesterday evening we headed to one of our ponds with some blue things that had me a bit confused.
When I asked what they were, I got a smile and told "make suprise for you". That response can make this old cowboy nervous! ðŸ¤
We put some fish pellets wrapped in netting inside, and put them in the shallow water anchored with a pvc pole.
When I asked now what, same response - "make suprise" - and we headed back to the house.
A Breakfast "Suprise" . . .
Work on the farm usually starts about 5:30 in the morning to beat the heat. However, this morning it was unusually quiet. So much so that I didn't crawl out of the mosquito netting until almost 7:00!
When I did, I saw Peng and two other ladies gathered around the blue nets, all excited. (This is why you wear pajama pants. Never know who might be wandering around the farm!)
After I put on jeans, I went to see what the "suprise" was.
Fresh water shrimp! Dozens of small ones, and I didn't even know we had them on the farm!
The women headed into the patio kitchen, still excited, and told me to drink my coffee and wait. 😆
Then they brought out 'breakfast' . . .
OK, I have eaten bugs deep fried in chilli oil, various kinds of meat (I didn't ask) on a stick but . . .
Watching 'breakfast' flopping around (not cooked, just spices added) on the plate? Maybe not! Everyone else enjoyed it though.
Would YOU try it? Let me know in the comments!

Best Regards
