We had another full day in carving yesterday, and today as well, what a scary thought ..... I am totally out of my elements and feel absolutely useless with the carving knives. The carrot slices and tomatoes are 'warm up' exercises and even these I found hard. I begin to lay blame on my aging eyes (any excuse to justify failure here) which I need to massage after an hour or so of fine focus. My fear and inadequacy will need to be conquered as there will be a few more sessions including one on banana leaf weaving, and another on floral work. As Dao told me on Day 1 all of this is part of Thai cuisine, and part of her proud food culture so ..... I must soldier on.
