Life in the grand palace
Life, Published on 03/01/2012
» A dazzle of gold and a blaze of colours _ that's your first impression of the Grand Palace as you come down the avenue of ugly dull buildings. It is a splendid mass of pagodas, towers, halls and chapels with triple roofs ending in flourishes of serpents' tails. The temple bells glint from the eaves below roofs covered with blue and orange, green and yellow tiles. The buildings look like blown up toys. The black spires seem remote and unreal as fairy tales and dreams. High white walls surround the city for it is indeed a little city of its own.

Get the party going
Life, John Clewley, Published on 03/01/2012
» In 1987, I bought a Charley label reissue called Soul Mine, a double vinyl LP that featured some of the hits of the New Orleans-born R'n'B and soul singer Lee Dorsey. I was interested in the album because I'd read in John Broven's wonderful book, Walking to New Orleans: The Story of New Orleans Rhythm & Blues (Flyright, UK/Blues Unlimited, USA, 1974), that Dorsey recorded many of his best tracks not only with my favourite New Orleans funk band, The Meters, but also with producer and piano virtuoso Alan Toussaint.

Living in the moment
Life, Athit Perawongmetha, Published on 03/01/2012
» Once the massive floods invaded the city, Bangkok residents were forced to slow down their fast-paced life. There were fewer cars or other motorised vehicles in sight on several city streets. They had to depend on unusual means of transportation like military trucks. Although their lives were crippled by the flooding, people on this truck seem to be enjoying the moment. They sat back, allowing their feet to dangle in floodwater, as the truck slowly ploughed through Petchkasem Road. But behind their smiles, I'm sure they had a lot to think about, especially what they had to deal with once the floods receded.

The grass is always greener

» Over the past several years, I have stopped using refined sugar completely. I don't miss it at all since I don't like sweets, nor do I do much baking. However, when I cook with a recipe that calls for a sweetener, I have learned to use natural fruit juices, fruit purees, agave syrup, or homemade palm sugar that I buy directly from the maker in a far-out village in Phetchaburi.
