May 2012 What's Up With River Wave Foods

River Wave Foods is getting ready for another Farmer's Market Season.  On Saturday we will be at the Vancouver Farmer's Market,  hoping that the good weather holds for the start of our 2012 season.  Fantastic new recipe that we think will convert all who think that My Thai Gourmet Sauce is just too hotttt...This new recipe was inspired by a dish down at Tasty's & Sons; Burmese Red Pork Stew, served for breakfast with sticky rice and a fried egg... we call our version Thai Braised Pork Stew:
