I'm a technologist at heart with a passion for emerging products and early stage companies.  Simple timing put me in the right place at the right time and gave me several opportunities to help shape the Internet during its formative years.  My education came via hands-on product development, a stint at NYU and side-by-side work with some of the most innovative minds in software.

    My Own Personal Version of Tom Ka Gai Soup

    If you like Thai food, and Thai soup, you'll like this. Its a staple at every American Thai restaurant. Its really good, and if you eat a lot of it, you'll get fat... Coconut milk is not good for you in large doses. And don't use anything from a can... Its just not right.

    What it takes to make it:
    4 cups water
    1 can coconut milk
    fish broth / sauce
    and cilantro (if you want)
    coriander
    cumin
    chicken breasts (.)(.)
    bok choy
    lemon grass
    Shitake mushrooms.
    Peanut Oil- to fry with
    Garlic, slice paper thin, use a sharp knife
    red pepper or cayenne pepper
    onion
    Fresh Ginger, grated (NOT PICKLED)

    1. Slice things:
    garlic super thin
    grate the ginger
    chop the lemon grass
    crush up the red pepper
    shred the bok choy
    slice up the chicken into strips
    chop the cilantro
    slice the onion

    2. Heat the oil to cook:
    garlic
    ginger
    lemon grass
    red pepper
    coriander
    cumin

    Cook them until it smells good, about 2-3 minutes.

    3. Stir in the chicken and onion and cook for about 5 minutes. The chicken should start to look cooked, basically white.

    4. Now throw in the bok choy, cook it until it wilts, about 5-8 minutes depending on how fine you shredded it.

    5. Your concoction should be nice and cooked now. Dump in 4 cups of water, the can of coconut milk, fish broth, and cilantro. Simmer until the chicken is all done....

    Now eat it.
