The wagon trains eventually made it over the Rockies and found an ocean

Truth be told, I haven't looked for nam plaa but I'm sure I could find
it at the grocery store on this side of the Mississippi. With a few
exceptions, I don't really care for Thai food. Then again, I'm not
trying to please my gardener.

I've read a few Asian and Thai cookbooks. Lots of ideas there. Of
course they aren't going to be tailored to her specific food
requirements. Gluten free? Maybe incidentally. Better avoid Thai
fried rice which usually contains an egg, quickly stirred in and scrambled.
