1.22pm - Frank's Asian pear martini, with real fresh Asian pear juice - great!
1.22pm - Cecy's mojito (with cilantro!) and my sadly non-alcoholic but tasty pineapple tamarindo
1.24pm - the vietnamese crepe, filled w/ chicken and shrimp, shared family style as all the rest of the entrees
1.27pm - the green mango and papaya salad (with spicy green beans!)
1.28pm - very good bok choy, and amazing asparagus in black bean sauce
1.39pm - Vietnamese style halibut in a coconut tamarind curry soup with noodles
1.44pm - the pork vindaloo
2.19pm - the coconut doughnuts w/ passion fruit sauce that I'd been wanting to try forever. We ordered a whole bunch of desserts, but this was the only one I tried...
2.19pm - Lawrence's trio of ice creams - vietnamese coffee, calamansi and Thai basil
7.06pm - Lawrence, who is surely the nicest guy in the London office, brought each of us an oversize canister of the most fabulous English cookies: Fortnum & Mason's Lucifer's ginger and chilli buiscuits! Couldn't help myself from pointing out how much more fabulous these are than the old bar of Cadbury we normally get - and had to break the canister open pretty much as soon as I walked in the door at home and could share one with Ritesh...
7.46pm - leftover tuna spaghetti, at home

mmm yum! all your meals look so delicious! i wish i could eat like that everyday! what a joy to come across this :)
Hello my friend,
I am enjoying your blog more than ever these days. Thank you for the lovely inspiration to eat healthy, beautiful & yummy foods!
I am very curious to what measures you are taking for your medical problems you are dealing with at the moment. I was recently in the hospital with a ruptured cyst. No fun! I really wish they would go away, they are so painful. I am open to about anything at this point.
Thanks Petra.
If it is easier you can find my email on my blog.
I wish you and your family a Happy Turkey Day!
Hugs,
Laura
Hi Laura, so sorry to hear you had to go to hospital! I had my follow up appt. today and since the cyst has shrunk only minimally it looks like I'll have to go forward w/ the surgery. So in my experience, acupuncture or Chinese herbs don't really shrink cysts (at least not within a couple of months), but I can say with some degree of certainty that acupuncture helps w/ the pain. Have you tried acupuncture before? Also, nutrition does play a role in several ways, mainly influencing hormone balance and pain pathways. I can recommend some books if you're interested - just let me know! I hope you're feeling ok right now and can enjoy Thanksgiving with your family! All best,
Petra
Thank you Petra, I would love to read some of your recommendations.
Here is my email: laura.elise.davis@gmail.com
You can email anytime.
I am so sorry that you have to have surgery. Believe me you do not want the cyst to rupture. I would rather endure child birth, thats how painful it was!
I have never tried acupuncture, I will look into it.
I am feeling better but they did discover 3 more while I was in the hospital. Ugh.
Thanks again Petra, Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels:)
Hugs,
Laura
