Inexplicably Thai....

[pgrahmm]

My wife.....Love her to bits....

 

Over the years she's devoted herself to be a damn near perfect wife....Any strife can be counted in mere minutes.....She's a happy home body....Always ready to please....A delight to be around....

 

But, there are quirky moments.....Distinctly Thai....

 

Our breakfasts don't fall at any set time....Could be early, can be late.....

This morning breakfast seems to be taking a long time.....She finally calls me in beaming - she's made two of my favorites.....Nice, fluffy Belgian Waffles with 2 syrups and - - a nice German Potato Salad......

 

Meanwhile, she's got the mortar & pestle out making herself some fish curry (and a bit of waffles & potato salad too).....

To think, my entire life I've never thought to have waffles and cold potato salad for breafast.....

 

Anyone get any weird mixes of food along the way?

Pgrahmm funny things for breakfast !!

Last night i made pigs in blankets, and apple crumble for dinner.

After we were both full, there was 2 pigs in blankets left, and some apple crumble.

Wife is sitting at the table this morning, eating apple crumble and ice cream, now in my mind thats weird.

funny you should post this. My missis made a wonderful penang last night for dinner. leftovers were todays breakfast for her..... I bought jok on the way to work. Wife informs that her breakfast was just great. 

 

not so long ago, i made her a bacon / fried egg toastie....with melted cheddar for breakfast. she had 2 mouthfulls and declared it "mai arroi loeyyyy"

so curry for breakfast then!! Or something with pla raa, but no bacon butties. Just doesnt seem right somehow!!

Yes, our concepts of what fits together are about 180 off from theirs (in many aspects)....But, I wouldn't change a thing....

 

As amusing & confounding as it seems at times....

My biggest annoyance with Thais cooking for partners is they seem to have absolutely no idea of co-ordination cooking times for sitting down together. My food is usually on the plate , served, eaten and dish washed before her Thai lunch is even half way cooked

[Lacessit]

It's social. Thais love squatting around food, and can eat for hours. They nibble. And talk like Communist politicians.

After one such session going from 6 pm to 9 pm at my GF's house, I was a bit gobsmacked when they fronted up for breakfast at 8 am, including whisky. That was a bit shorter, an hour and a half.

I remember many a Boxing Day morning, after the night before, when a big dish of my Mum's trifle was all I could stomach.

No servants in my house, we all cook our own.

Pizza with mushroom, bell pepper and chilli toppings cooking now.

The misses is eating a cold boiled potato she found somewhere.

Yeah - I get the pizza dough duty....But the 4 of us cook.....Over the years our girls have learned western & Thai prep.....They're quicker Thai style though.....My wife cooks both well.....Sometimes it's just 2+2=5.....

Dunno really my wife takes care of me very much, too much at times.

Breakfast when I get up before her, I take her brekkie when she rings me and  she likes strong coffee with choc cookies.

as my wife explained to me when I moved here many years ago now, you eat what you like for breakfast, have to admit I dont mind it at times. Looking forward to my daughter and grandson coming over this year so we can take them to all the different shops we go to for breakfast, I know she will be blown away by what we can have here, might start something back home when she returns

think about it : how crazy is it that in some countries you *cannot* have what you like breakfast? pure insanity.

Your OP caused me to Google search "Belgian waffles & potato salad"

I got this recipe ... https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/loaded-potato-waffles

I would like to thank you very much for ruining my diet.????

When my wife and I first got together and she asked me what I want for breakfast, I'd reply "whatever you're having darling".

That was until she served up a bowl of curried pigs anus rings in chilli sauce.

Now when she asks what I want for breakfast I reply "whatever you're not having darling".
