  1. In my opinion, sun dried fruits are superior to oven dried, don't ask me why. However I dry fruit for my muesli, I can't imagine why one would dry tomatoes in a land where they are cheap all year round. In Switzerland I dried them under a net (flies) on a tray covered with aluminium cooking foil. Rubbing salt in keeps the flies off also apparently but I never tried that. I used to love taking my tomatoes in winter to make spaghetti sauce...

  2. Salt? A cheap weed killer so good luck with that.

    I wouldn't lay down on a lawn anyway, I have seen a couple of snakes hiding in our grass.

    Drainage is important, so don't go using a spirit level on your lawn, plan where water will be running off to.

  3. Is it worthwhile my taking the car over to Koh Chang? We are planning on arriving on the 18th or 19th and staying for two - three nights. I'm confident about my driving abilities but if the roads are difficult to navigate, if there are too many Song Kran idiots, maybe I should leave it in Trat?

    Where is a secure place to leave it if I did leave it in Trat? Thanks.

  4. Is there a way to get rid of these creatures, poison or something? There is one of them just outside the bedroom window that wakes me up every night. Daytime he's always quiet xblink.png.pagespeed.ic.AQgCnSOpp_.png , so I can't go hunting for him.

    Go home and live in a concrete monstrosity.

  5. I believe that beef carcases need to be hung in a freezer for at least two weeks, thus tenderising the meat. None of them around you will notice. I do occasionally make hamburgers to stick in the freezer , meat for four hamburgers last time (1/2 Kg) ฿90.-. Forget about eating beef here,

  6. I always try to help when people need a plant ID, now it's me, I'm stuck. Two photos here, the plant is about 60/70cm high, leaves 5 or 6 cm wide, parallel venation. Using one key I got Orchidaceae which it obviously isn't. I worked in a botanical garden and got into the habit of not liking it when I didn't know the names of stuff.

    Ovaries inferior. Bulbs.
