David, where've you been man I was going to send the South Shields police in. Quick and easy recipe this one, love thai flavours, so much so, co-incidentally cooked a similar dish with chicken thighs the other night.

Ah lovely! I've just gotten stuck back in to blogging (a bit) and have been hoping you were going to still be posting. You're teaching? How are you liking it? I'll bet you're a natural. Hope all is well. xo A
