New Things

Thailand is amazing! Since coming here we have tried a lot of fruit. Much of it has been things we have never had before (at least while in the States.) These fruits are all in season right now and all have unique flavors but 3 of them have similar textures. The ones in the back are not potatoes but something called Longkon. (I don't know how to spell it! The others from left to right are rahmbutan, mangosteen, and lychee.
I think it is so amazing how much variety there is in this world!

Aiden has been dying to try century eggs for a while so we bought some for him at the store. After opening one to see if it needed to be cooked we decided it would be a good idea to boil them.

Come to find out, they do not need to be cooked and are supposed to be gooey like jelly. Hmm. I had tried one in China a few year ago and did not feel the need to do it again.
Any way, the kids liked the flavor but not the texture. They were still squishy after boiling! Some of the kids ended up spitting them out. So I thought it was pretty funny when Aiden asked for them again the next time we were at the store!

I'm so proud of them for being willing to try new things!
