Goodbye to Eddy Part 1

Eddy leaves this week for two years in the military. He is going to be desperately missed. The last two days have seen us celebrate our friendship with Eddy and saying goodbye. First up was Sunday evening, as the team that serves each weekend in the slums got together for a going away dinner. Eddy had said he wanted to have Thai style barbecue, so that's what we did!

Thai barbecue is nothing like US barbecue. Here, you go through buffet lines and choose what you want to cook (kind of like a Mongolian barbecue) and return to your table, where you have a metal dome sitting on top of a bucket of red hot coals. You cook your meats on the metal dome and your veggies around the edges, where they pour water that gets boiling hot.

Vee looks like he is suffering!
