Are you serious that you cannot find ground cayenne chili in Thailand..... in Thailand, really?

Yes.... really !

You think we are on here talking about & requesting advice just for something meaningless to do ?

I have no doubt Cayenne pepper is available in Bangkok & some larger cities but not all supermarkets in provincial cities stock it.

Cheers..... Mal.

I also live in Issan and virtually every market has a seller of plastic bags of peppers; both whole and ground.

This topic is about CAYENNE pepper.... NOT Thai chilies. The bagged or loose chilies we find in all Thai provincial markets have absolutely NO resemblance to CAYENNE pepper.

I guess you were trying to offer assistance of some sort, thanks, ... BUT, if you don't know the subject matter, maybe best not to offer comments.

I'm not trying to flame you, but so many posts get derailed or side tracked by comments & info that are not relevant to the topic.

I've now got my CAYENNE pepper at last.

Cheers..... Mal.

Fresh chiles dried in sun and run thru a blender..........yikes

Why "yikes" ?

Besides my self & Thai girl, most of the locals grind dried chilies in a blender or food processor.

We live in a very rural part of Isaan, however being 2015, most of the locals do have some modern appliances.

Would be interested in knowing why you feel this practice is "yikes"

Just as a matter of interest, we use the blender to make rice flower from grain. Quick rinse after the chilies or rice or whatever else & ready for fresh coffee beans. Kinda thought that's what one did with a grinder / blender.

Chilies, garlic, ginger, coriander, onion & some Soi sauce + whatever else takes your fancy, & you have a great marinade for chicken or pork.

Happy grinding.

Cheers..... Mal.

Yikes only meant very spicy.

Ah, now I understand. I thought you were questioning grinding the chilies in the blender.

Cheers..... Mal.

I'd quite like to be able to walk down the street without it being an obstacle course, and I don't really give a shit if that fits into some idea of how you think the city should look.

You could always bash em with that infamous brolly of yours if they get in your way.

Regarding the OP's question..."what does a collar on a dog mean ?"

1. Collar.. Could mean he's a member of some religious organization.

2. Going to a semi formal function. Just collar, no tie required.

3. Maybe into BDSM.... if the collar is studded.

Legally.... maybe all of the above.

Just sayin..... Cheers..... Mal.

I always put a load of crap,,,,,,, ie Mickey Mouse, occupation, head transplant surgeon senior sergeant major etc etc

And after you get home from school.... you have your cookies & milk & take a nap. Being a child is such hard work.

Let me guess.... you are from Emireka.

<deleted>.

I cannot stand this anymore

Poor baby. Mummy still dress & feed you ?

If this is your best gripe.... you have a perfect life.

Cheers..... Mal.

going into hospital in Thailand = very foolhardy.

So, if in critical condition you just sit down on the road & die. That might be considered a little more foolhardy....... you think.

Just saying.

Really? Please leave the fruits in the tree for the birds and the squirrels to eat.

You can buy them any day and anywhere you want. They cannot.

Much more fun seeing them enjoying it.

Really ? One goes to the trouble of planting & taking care of for ages. So when ripe, you sit with a cold beer in the evening & watch your efforts eaten by birds & squirrels...... yeah, right.

Brian..... mate. 700 baht electricity bill for 2 people. It's easy, 50/50. 350 baht each. If it were 7000 baht then maybe work out what each should pay.

Just my opinion..... Cheers..... Mal.

So some of the gang were armed with "flower-pots"

And the gang leaders are...... Bill & Ben.

This thread is turning into a Catastrophy.

I did all the research about 18 months ago before moving here to LOS. As already advised..... don't waste your time doing the research.

Don't waste your time even thinking about it.

Cheers..... Mal.

Easiest thing would be to use a coffee grinder or something similar with regular dried chiles you can easily find here. It's what I used to do in the US and what I'll do once our kitchen is finished. No more wasted time or gas

I think you'll find fresh ground local chilies & cayenne pepper have a completely different taste. I've been using both for many years & have tried to substitute one for the other. Very unsuccessful. The taste is so different it can easily spoil the overall dish.

Yes, grinding your own chilies is the go. So much better than bottled store bought chili powder or flakes.Jus

Just sayin...... Mal.

Imagine yourself in this scenario...

Na, I'd never fit in the pram.

If it's "The Year of the Goat" why didn't she offer Goats Heads ?

Coz Mick wanted them all for the soup.

We've finally found a person that eats at McDonalds Thailand

And has the balls to admit it.

Sounds like you're still in your childhood.

What's that old saying..... one is too many..... a thousand not enough.

or.... I'm not an alcoholic. Alcoholics attend meetings.

After a good day about the house & garden, anytime after about 5:30 is good for me.

Man up.

Great advice.... NOT ! You have no idea of his circumstances. He's at least manned up enough to bare his sole & ask for help.

If this is your best advice..... bugger off.

A few more details OP & I'm there's some sincere advice available.

Cheers to all....... except nottocus..... who or whatever that might be.
