Cuban Black Beans: Available in Thailand? Where?
KhunLA replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Haven't a clue, sorry, can't help, never bought. Never crossed my mind to have here. You first ???? -
Why is walking so good for you? Here's what studies show.
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Pedal bike, 0 impact, or stationary if concerned about having an oops. Also these type seem to be the ticket for many: -
Finally, someone with taste buds, and mirrors our beans at home a bit ???? Add some Tomato sauce, Siracha, bbq sauce & seasonings.

Pepsi (diet) over coke for my Rum & Coke, when I use to indulge. Now it's Mojitos or Mochitos, using Schweppes lemon/lime, when lazy, more times than not.

7/12 ? Can charge when every you want, though since having solar, we charge during daytime, such as now. No limit to when we use our car. Charging while sleeping certainly wouldn't be an inconvenience.

The difficulty of avoiding sugar in Thailand.
KhunLA replied to Felton Jarvis's topic in Eastern Thailand
Agree, and my blood sugar level has always been extreme high end of normal. Knockin' on 69 yrs old, pastry & ice cream junkie, and so far, not diabetic ... ???? Every doc has told me to cut back. But table/white sugar, mostly used at bakeries, and some brown sugar, is the better of the sugars, relative. That might explain it, and as stated, avoid sugar drinks and alcohol. Mostly home cooking, so overly processed food intake is at a minimum. Either very lucky, or from my experience, sugar itself, in my diet, is not the demon it's made out to be. YMMV ... with your types of sugar & genetics. -
@GammaGlobulin Amazon has it for 7200 baht $84+$118 (S&H&duty) but make sure it's 220v or whatever offered for UK, EU, SEA

They're a bit silly priced here, compared to US (<$100 USD), UK or EU. Saw the 3L mini Duo 7 in 1 on LAZ for 10k. Large enough for us, then they go up in price for 5 or 7L. Almost bought it, but we have so many appliances already, only advantage really for us would be the pressure cooker, for beans and meat (beef stew or Massamans). So gave it a pass. If just starting to stock kitchen with appliance, it does cut out the need for most, oven or stove top cooking. As I stated, doesn't do rice well. Instant Pot 3L other size & prices You want the 'Duo 7 in 1' as newest version I believe

The ones supplied by MG, and installed for free are more than enough for us, and considering most is done by emergency charger/cord, using solar, that's saying quite a bit. Even if one has to pay 4.5-5 baht a kWh at home, that's a bargain compared to 39+ baht a liter, at the petrol pump. 200 vs 1000 baht to go 360 kms for us, IF, we used the grid to charge. And no waiting a petrol station to fill up every week or so, no silly oil changes every 10k kms or tune-ups to concern ourselves with.

5 yrs of French 2 yrs of Latin 2 yrs of Spanish ... actually was fluent though forgot most The sciences come in handy, and of course math, though with calculators today, most don't use in their head, or even know the equations. History, actually enjoyed, and like knowing, but useless. Reading & writing, obviously needed. Art & Music, nice to know, but useless. Social Science & POD (Problems of Democracy), interesting, and great to know, but useless, and apparently, nobody pays attention, IF, still taught, which I doubt, as seems most Yanks, don't even know how the govt works. Actually think they directly elect the President. Or understand Congress (House/Senate) & SCOTUS. Damn embarrassing actually.

The difficulty of avoiding sugar in Thailand.
KhunLA replied to Felton Jarvis's topic in Eastern Thailand
Only part I'll agree with, and excessive sugar is a bit relative, in relation to what else you are eating. And types of sugar, natural or added that is in those. -
EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
My usual morning cruise, from 8-15kms, with a couple on hwy 4. Consistently get about 360kms per charge around town. Beating the WLTP rating of 320, which is about what we get at highway speeds of 90kph. 46.3kWh ÷ 12.7/100kms = 3.64 X 100 = 364 kms per charge -
Most of the govt school education (high school 1-12) was basically useless in everyday life, with exception of math & science/chemistry/physics. Certainly didn't need 3 different languages, English lit, art or history, as anything else was an elective. So basically 6 classes a day, only 2 useful, and repetitively redundant the first 8 yrs.

To help you understand why 'table sugar' isn't the demon it's made out to be. You may want to skip through to 23:11, just after the sponsor advert: -

In the past, never understood the salt on fruits, but now know the science of it, and it does seem to make sense. Though i still don't do, myself. Surely it's added to my Thai Spicy Fruit Salad, and a favorite of mine here/TH. -
The difficulty of avoiding sugar in Thailand.
KhunLA replied to Felton Jarvis's topic in Eastern Thailand
I came to my opinion, because of my research. Believe what you want, but sweets & pastry have been a mainstay of my diet, forever, and still no ill effects, coming up on 69 years. Though never a sugary soda pop drinker, or alky, so avoid most of the sugar others consume, along with avoiding overly processed food. -

I don't think sugar is the demon ingredient it's made out to be. Saying that, agree, sugar as an ingredient is way OTT at times here, and worldwide. Really have to read the labels, and try to exercise moderation. One of the reasons we avoid processed foods, and many restaurants.
