Thai Cooking Lessons in Palos Verdes

Did you know you can take Thai cooking lessons in Palos Verdes for free?

I teach Thai cooking lessons as a hobby. If you have a party in Palos Verdes or nearby, add Thai cooking lessons to it. I give free Thai cooking lessons at parties and at my house. Check out my Thai cooking lessons page: http://www.natashastewart.com/477297.html

And if you want to pay for Thai cooking lessons, South Bay School of Cooking offers (Americanized) Thai cooking lessons. Check out “A Night in Bangkok”, a Thai cooking lesson for couples. What could be more romantic than taking Thai cooking lessons with someone you love? Their Thai cooking lessons include banana leaf wrapped prawns, Mango glazed BBQ chicken, pad Thai noodles, and a show-stopping torched pineapple with coconut sorbet. Classes are held at Neptunian Women’s Clubhouse, Manhattan Beach, CA. For more info on their Thai cooking lessons: http://www.southbayschoolofcooking.com/classes.htm

Or better yet, you can take Thai cooking lessons online here: http://www.thaifoodtonight.com/thaifoodtonight/recipes.htm. There you can watch VDO’s of Thai cooking lessons. I have to tell you, the Thai cooking lessons on their VDO make it look so hard to cook Thai food. But that is really how the people in Thailand cook. We don’t have much convenience when it comes to authentic Thai food.

My Thai cooking lessons are really practical for Americans. My Thai cooking lessons include popular dishes whose ingredients are easy to find here. Many of my friends say that it is best to take Thai cooking lessons in person. With me, you have Thai cooking lessons in front of you and your guests can have fun with you and the Thai cooking lessons at the same time. What a party!

Some Progress on the Housing Bill HR 3221

On July 11th, 2008 the Senate voted 63 to 5 to approve the Housing bill, HR 3221, which creates affordable housing opportunities by setting loan limits up to $625,500 for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA, and will stimulate housing demand with a temporary $8,000 home ownership tax credit. The bill also includes broad reform for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA, and creates a new FHA program to help homeowners at-risk for foreclosure.

This bill is critical to restoring confidence in the mortgage and housing markets and the nation’s entire economy. But it isn’t complete yet. Now, the bill goes to a conference committee before Congress can send it to the President. Negotiations begin over the next few days and weeks, and both House and Senate leaders hope to get the bill on the President’s desk before the August recess.

- The above is an excerpt from the President of National Association of REALTORS, Dick Gaylord's letter of July 15, 2008 to thank realtors for their support for the bill.

Rancho Palos Verdes – July 4th Celebration

The City of Rancho Palos Verdes celebrates the independence day every year at the city hall. Today the event was full of fun for all ages. There were helicopter tours of the coastline, carnival rides, pie eating contest, hula hoop contest, Jim Gamble puppet show, live band, shopping and food.

I had to get an airbrush tattoo after I saw these two cute girls have them. The tattoo artist, Don and his partner, Pam, came all the way from Riverside to sell their tattoo craft at the event.
