Lao Dogs

Some things just go together...

Peanut butter and jelly

Salt and pepper

Bread and butter

Cheese dogs and papaya salad.

No really. It's delicious.

It's kind of a great food combo we stumbled upon a few weeks ago and I happen to think it's the food version of our relationship. Something very Lao (tom mak hoong or green papaya salad) and something very American (Oscar Mayer cheese dogs) come together in perfect harmony to create something truly delicious.

About us...

Hi there!

Thank you so much for stopping by our blog. Let me introduce ourselves...



I am Dana and he is Neo, a recently engaged couple who enjoy listening to Jason Mraz songs, cafe espressos from Starbucks and food.

fresh batch of pumpkin cupcakes
He's Lao and I'm American. We came from different sides of the globe but somehow ended up together. Its almost scary how much we have in common (we're basically twins and pretty much inseparable except when he has to go back home).

Lao style extra spicy spaghetti
He lives in Indiana and I'm in Ohio but we manage to spend most of our time together...even if its skype :)

Cambodian dish called "loc lac"
He's the cook and I'm the baker, and I'm pretty sure our future children will be meatballs.

making mashed potatoes
We like going out and exploring different restaurants and cuisines...Indian, Korean, Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese and occasionally American. We also love cooking at home (especially for lots of people) and have been known to make the food extra spicy.

butter chicken, rice and yellow dal
Sometimes our cooking leads us to interesting experiments and we thought a blog about it would be a cool way to share recipes, thoughts, some of our favorite local restaurants and other cool stuff. Hope you enjoy our future posts and please stop back to see us soon!
