[pct-l] Found some yummy new things at the Asian market

[Rich Cunrod]

You know, I have been reading this list for about 2 years now and have
never really chimed in much.  But today I can't resist.  I was reading this
thread this am over coffee and too some note.  However, what really brought
it t o mind again was while at the Chatachuk weekend  market today in
Bangkok.  I ran across everything fishy dried you could want.  Octopus,
squid all kinds of of fish and a couple varieties of shrimp/prawns.  Did
not see much in the way of dried veggies.  All fresh.  8000 booths at this
market.  Unfortunately, I can't get any and ship as when I leave Thailand
in 21 days, I just go back to my island of Kwajalein until I go home in
June and hike 250 miles of the CDT in my own backyard.   Home to CONUS for
two months.  Full PCT in two years when I leave the equator  area and opt
for cooler climes.
