  1. Thanks for this post as I love Mexican food, I come from So California.

    Here in Thailand I make ----

    Beef enchiladas, and my own refried beans, and pork tamales (I did have to bring masa flour back from the states) I would like to add to this post my recipe for red sauce.

    1 Gallon Red sauce

    1 med. onion diced

    4 garlic cloves

    1/3cup red powdered chile. We use New Mexico chile, its not too hot just flavorful.

    1 qt. tomato sauce

    1qt tomato puree

    Salt and pepper to taste (about 2 tlbs)Not too much as you keep it a few days it gets stronger.

    Mix all ingredients together and bring to boil and simmer about 20 minutes

    In another pan fix a rue of about 1cup oil, and 1/2 cup flour.

    At a simmer ,not fast boil, mix in flour and oil mixture

    simmer until thickened. Then cool a bit and strain , to remove onion & garlic pieces.

    Your sauce will be smooth and thin . When cool it will be thick.

  2. Yesterday the wife and I were shopping at the Big C in Sa Kaeo. Were looking at the washing machines ,12,000 baht Panasonic. Upon close inspection I noticed that the machine I was interested in had been USED, I don't meann tested. The lint filter was full of debris and all manor of waste,

    I now know for sure that they cannot be trusted.

  4. You don’t need that stuff for really good gravy...

    1 or 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan and add a little bit of the steak drippings

    Add 1 tablespoon of flour and stir until it gets brown

    Then start to add a little water at a time and stir more until you get the consistency you like

    Add salt and pepper to taste

  7. I am very happy that you have made the decision to enter the hospital for treatment. My sister took me to the hospital 30 years ago for detox. I then was lucky enough to have a live in home for people from my industry who were also afflicted .

    The first 30 days is VERY important. Read the Big Book and stay very close to the A.A. people. You need to attend many many many mettings. I used to go to 3 and sometimes 4 meetings a day. You will also do well to find a “sponsor”, someone who you can talk to. I would guess that you also smoke but don’t try to stop smoking at this time. Detox is just the first step ( but very important) on the road to recovery.

    With the help of your “Higher Power” you will get your first chip (30 days) and then on towards your first year. I can tell you that it is NOT easy at times. When you feel that you need a drink, you need to hit a meeting pronto

    Please feel free to email me at anytime

    I have a house with 2 Stories and the shower works just fine up stairs. I also use the higher water pressure I now have to supply my automatic pop up sprinklers for the lawns. I live in a very small village and had major water pressure problems prior to this installation.
