This year, we tried something new for our graduation party -- a Thai-themed meal in part because Ryan is going to Thailand next year. Below is the Menu with links to the recipes. Many commented on how good the sauces were, how nice it was to have fresh vegetables, how interesting and different the selection was. I think I'm a pretty good cook, but when I come up with something really yummy, I'm as excited about my food as anyone else. The sauces I "invented" after researching the internet for some ideas.
