THIS WEBSITE IS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING TO A NEW SERVER, PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF MY NEW WEBSITE ADDRESS - CLICK HERE
I am sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news, but my server can no longer handle my website. I have outgrown all of the
available bandwidth that my server has to offer. I am now using the largest package that they have to offer which is 100GB
of bandwidth a month, and it's just not enough. This month alone, I have used 88 GB of bandwidth in just 14 days. My server
dosen't have any larger bandwidth packages to offer me, nor could I afford to pay any more than I am currently paying if they
did. I am now paying $50.00 per month just so that this site will be available to all visitors. Downloading pictures off
of my site steals my bandwidth! Linking to my website steals my bandwidth! I have put a lot of hard work and many hours into
this website so that it could be enjoyed by all, PLEASE do not download pictures or link to my site, because when my bandwidth
runs out, my server will shut down my site and stop everyone from viewing it until next month. This site will shut down this
month, within in a day or two, and there's nothing I can do or say to stop it, "I'm Sorry". Please come back next
month!
"These pictures are beautiful, and worth the wait!"

| Assorted Carved Fruits & Vegetables |
Thai cuisine involves the balancing of contrasting flavours, spicy and subtle, sweet and sharp. It is also concerned with
aesthetic vaiues for the Thais believe that food should please the eye as well as the palate.
One particularly delightful aspect of Thai cuisine and the reflection of a more leisured age is the art of carving fruit
and vegetables. This is a traditional craft which is still popular.
In the fruit carver's skilled hands and using a small and very sharp pointed knife, an ordinary papaya or pumpkin is turned
into a bouquet of flowers, a radish becomes a tiny rabbit or daisy or a carrot a rare orchid. Almost any kind of fruit or
vegetable can be used. The carver must understand the texture of each and use its natural colour to imitate that of the chosen
subject. Not all the carvings are as small as a flower; a large round watermelon becomes a richly decorated and lidded bowl
to be used as a container for fruit salad. The green outer skin is cut away to make a pattern in relief of flowers or even
characters in Thai literature.
Why should someone bother to transform a pumpkin into a magic coach or a beetroot into a butterfly? The answer is the
Thai appreciation of beauty and craftsmanship, whatever the medium.
