When in Bangkok...

The setting was beautiful: an old colonial house with creaky rafters and teak floors, priceless Thai antiques and art, and amazing tropical plants and flowers...
A Good Week for Blog Shout-Outs
Seems that Spilled Milk Catering is having a good week in “blog shout-outs,” i.e., appearing on other people’s blogs.

Spilled Milk Catering and the Bachelorette Party

The ladies wanted Spilled Milk Catering to prepare a bunch of passed bites and cocktail-size foods as well as demonstrate some of the recipes in the large kitchen in the beach house.

Why not throw a tapas party instead? Tapas – if you’re not familiar with them – are (basically) appetizers, or snacks, in Spanish cuisine.
