  1. Naughty, naughty, not trusting what the dear wife tells you.

    I should have listened to her. She's bloody right on most things! And she was right on this. I tried at LPG garage. No go. 'Go to the gas shop'. Which I did. Thought it was our regular gas cylinder. Wrong one! He sold me a new cylinder and said my one was old. Well it is. I'm old, but still in working order. Well, some things. Apparently my cylinder was an old type which the government phased out some time back. I can now get a refilled one at the gas shop. Why didn't I think of that before? Bloody smart arsed womengigglem.gif

    Thanks all for the replies.

  2. Take it to an auto LPG filling station.

    I have once seen a regular size cooking LPG cylinder being refilled in an auto LPG station, may be you can find one that can help.

    That is what I used to do. My wife said the government banned it some time ago. True??

  3. I have a picnic gas cooker with the mini version of the large gas cooker gas cylinder. My wife has just informed me that it is impossible to get these refilled now and it will have to be discarded. We used to take it for a refill at the local gas station. Is she correct in it not being able to be refilled? I can't imaging throwing away a perfectly good gas cylinder and having to buy a new one. It doesn't make sense. Any info on this?

  4. Let us hope that he has files listing the names of these influential people. Lodged copies with Human Rights organisations, his lawyer, and the Guardian newspaper, with the warning that these documents will be opened should he come to any harm. And make it known publicly in Thailand so that these people are aware. Most Thais would have known that influential people were involved, but this must come as a shock to know that even of their top respected policemen has fled the country. Another blow to Thailand's image.

  5. That being said, homemade mayo doesn't last as well as the store bought stuff, blame that on the preservatives and stabilizers that the manufacturers add. Sometimes we forget that our forefathers, or more likely foremothers, made food to eat that day, not to store and eat later..science gave us that!

    If you pasteurise the yolks it will last for weeks instead of days.

    How do you do that? I use the late Kieth Floyd's recipe for mayo using whole eggs. It works well and is easy using just a liquidiser. His recipes came before immersion whisks came along. I'm still using an old Kenwood mixer which was one of the few things I brought to Thailand. It was a present to my late wife 43 years ago in England. They made stuff to last in those days. Not wives unfortunately.

  6. Do you use palm oil? Tried it once and the next day I had butter ;-)

    Now I mostly use sun flower or corn oil and never have a problem anymore,

    Tip: if your mayo doesn't become hard enough during mixing, add a spoon of hot water and mix again. Always works for me.

    I made the mistake of using Palm oil once and had the same problem. I'm not sure which oil I used in this one. I was a bit careless. I cracked it though. Micro waved it for 30 secs and it was runny. Whisked an egg yoke then gradually added the mayo. All in the liquidizer.. Its not perfect, but good enough. I'm sorry if my post regarding this was a bit petty but I'm curious about things and don't like to be beaten. Thanks for your replies.

  7. I just make small batchs as well. Add ketchup to your list. Not to mention Bbq sauce and salsa......and peanut or cashew butter and tahini......It all good. Need to save jars though.....I saw at tops the other day they had a little batch of hummus for 189b......I make my own in no time.....sorry for the rant.

    Certainly BBQ sauce, and have made taramasalata. It costs an arm and a leg in the supermarket. I save pickled gherkin jars and keep meaning to pickle my own. I am the sort of bloke who says 'I can do that'! and I get a kick out of doing it myself. Branston pickle and HP sauce. I've never been able to get the KFC type chicken right and have tried different recipes. I find dabbling in cooking therapeutic and more attractive than going out into my garden/ jungle and trying to tame it. Age may have something to do with it. I'm well past my 'sell by date'.coffee1.gif

  8. I'm pretty sure there are others out there who like to do a bit of cooking. I always make my own mayonnaise in a liquidiser and generally it turns out great. Rarely, but annoyingly it goes solid in the fridge. Is it because I do not add water to it? And when it has turned solid how can I reconstitute it

  9. Reading some of these posts it is obvious that some posters activate their typing fingers before putting their brains in gear. They certainly do not comprehend what they are reading. The report states that the GPS in the vehicle used led them to the site where the grave was 100 metres from the road.

    It's been pointed out that the posters I referred to made their posts prior to the disclosure of the GPS. I retract my words and eat humble pie. As was said 'Hoisted on my own petard'wub.png
