so cute

Just look at how cute this kid is.
It has been brought to my attention that I had not posted ridiculous quantities of pictures of Jack on the ol’ blog, and so here I start to remedy that. He’s 26 days old today.
Mum and Dad arrive in Chiang Mai tomorrow around lunch time, so we’re all [...]

food porn: Joe’s Famous Burger at The Duke’s

Just look at this.
It’s Joe’s Famous Burger at my favourite restaurant in Chiang Mai - The Duke’s. It is described as such:

The US-led economic meltdown is sucking hard. Shares are down of course, but so is the dollar. For the software business, any American customers who actually pay their bills is great, but for me personally living OS, the baht dropping from 33 to 22 baht/dollar [...]
