I do several achars. You can buy a clay pot with a lid at a Thai traditional medicine pharmacy. Cure the achar in the sun for a week to soften, stirring every day. Pro tip: only use mustard oil, much more flavour. Refrigerate. Lasts forever.  Is this the pickled limes at Foodland??? Likely bad vinegar and preservative.  This is quite a good achar recipe. If you can find tiny mangos, they make terrific Vadu achar.  https://holycowvegan.net/indian-lime-pickle/</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:12:48 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Faces Crowd Worries Ahead of July 4 Celebration</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397873-trump-faces-crowd-worries-ahead-of-july-4-celebration/?do=findComment&comment=20581156]]></link><description>Trump?......Plus a recognition of the role the US has played in geopolitics......very much akin to the British when they were running riot and building an empire.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:12:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Briton Found Dead, Stabbed at Pattaya Home</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397919-briton-found-dead-stabbed-at-pattaya-home/?do=findComment&comment=20581155]]></link><description>Did you actually read my post? Do you think I was referring to just one poster? Did you think I was referring to you? Your comments seem to have completely missed the point I was making about the murky, violent world of drug dealers. Perhaps English is not your first language.  Your post seems to have no relevance to my post. It is a non sequitur.  With regards to your last sentence, I apologise for inadvertently triggering you.

At least in it's mind. Decades of experience in these matters and never so blatant a case. Every symptom.   Grandiose Sense of Self-Importance: Exaggerating talents and achievements, and expecting to be recognized as superior without actual accomplishments. Preoccupation with Fantasies: Fantasizing about unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or perfect love. Belief in Superiority: Thinking they are "special" or unique and can only be understood by or associate with other high-status people. Need for Excessive Admiration: Requiring constant validation and attention. Sense of Entitlement: Unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment or automatic compliance with their expectations. Exploitative Behavior: Taking advantage of others to achieve their own goals. Lack of Empathy: Unwilling or unable to recognize and identify with the feelings and needs of others. Frequent Envy: Often envying others or believing that others are envious of them. Arrogant or Haughty Attitudes: Displaying conceited behaviors and constantly insisting on having the "best" of everything</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:10:33 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Putin wants to talk</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397471-putin-wants-to-talk/?do=findComment&comment=20581149]]></link><description>About Anchorage  There was no agreement.

I felt like making chiles relle&#xF1;os and found the right size chillis at Makro. Sliced off the stems and tasted. Now I eat chillis with every meal including breakfast but these were off the scale!

They could make it just enough to knock out the top paying, but still meager, western old aged pension country, thus all the pensions / pensioners below it, from other countries all around the world.    Or, they could raise it really high, thus raising the financial capacity / standard of foreigners living here, and also returning Thai properties to Thai's, which I am sure would be an election winner.  My point is, just as a member commented on how Cambodia can change their visa laws at any time, so can Thailand.  As I have said before, a retirement visa is nothing more than a 1 year tourist visa.  it was debated in a thread a long time ago and the conclusion was the only thing an individual on a retirement visa can do that someone on a 30 visa exemption can't do was have a 5 year driving / riding license as opposed to a 2 year license.   It's not scaremongering.  The 800k baht requirement simply can not stay at 800k baht forever.  At some stage, the Thai government will raise it.  They could raise it a little, to keep up with the cost of living, thus changing very little, or raise it a lot, as part of a broader plan, which may see many forced out of Thailand.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:06:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Anyone pickle? no not pickle ball</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397840-anyone-pickle-no-not-pickle-ball/?do=findComment&comment=20581142]]></link><description>Ratanakorn has peeled garlic cloves much cheaper than Makro and widely available, probably common at most sizable markets</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:06:26 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Faces Crowd Worries Ahead of July 4 Celebration</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397873-trump-faces-crowd-worries-ahead-of-july-4-celebration/?do=findComment&comment=20581141]]></link><description>Is that the reflecting pool on the right?</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:05:56 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Faces Crowd Worries Ahead of July 4 Celebration</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397873-trump-faces-crowd-worries-ahead-of-july-4-celebration/?do=findComment&comment=20581140]]></link><description>I didn't mention anything other than the fact that lefties are less patriotic than right wingers, which is a rather undisputed fact.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:05:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Briton Found Dead, Stabbed at Pattaya Home</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397919-briton-found-dead-stabbed-at-pattaya-home/?do=findComment&comment=20581139]]></link><description>You post is nonsensical, if you don't mind me saying so.
