Do you cook your own food in Thailand?

Fat brings the good taste. That's why I prefer ribeye steak.

 

Lean beef is still about 10-15% fat. Each to his own, when I eat a ribeye the fat gets shovelled aside.

My wife cooks the evening meal as she knows how many she is cooking for, also usually Thai local dishes which I enjoy 

I do occasional snacks when the family decide on a somtam feed 

I quite enjoy a simple eggs on toast meal ???? or a cheese and onion sandwich both of which my family would not eat 

Also make my own banana muffins and brownies 

Just provides me with an option for my coffee breaks

Sorry.

Cant remember the last time we ate out in the evening. Sometime pre covid when friends visited.

 

We are both good cooks with different menus and our own meals are better than anything we could buy outside with one or two exceptions.

 

Midday we might buy a takeaway one or twice a week but take it home to eat it.

Best way to answer is with pictures.

Collard sprout anchovy dried cranberries salad:

 

stuffed calamari:

 

fried shrimp wontons:

 

Vietnamese spring rolls:

 

balsamic roasted onions with blue cheese dressing salad:

 

garden fresh baby greens and squash blossom salad:

 

green bean feta salad:

 

tomato anchovy baby cilantro garlic pasta sauce

 

So, you cook these or buy them out? 

 

ps - don't worry it won't be too difficult to pick those anchovies out of that salad.. at least in the top salad, not the last one.

95% of the time we home cook....

My wife cooks western and Thai food as well as some Mexican....

Her small but mighty garden usually contributes something....

I cook once in awhile....Today I made 2 cookie sheet sized pizzas....I also make our bread.....

I have a gas wet smoker bbq that I thought I would use a lot....It just sits in our back breezeway waiting for me....

I sometimes like to bake and make pizza too. Those tacos you posted do look tasty. It looks like you put them under the broiler to melt the cheese. I'll have to try that sometime.

 

pizza:

tomato, black and green olives, minced red prik kii nuu peppers, caramelized onions, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, oregano, raw chopped garlic, anchovies and homemade blanched holy basil pesto with walnuts.

 

grilled cheese sandwich with homemade bread

Don't like to cook, and like washing dishes even less. I might make some microwave popcorn if I had a microwave.

Looks great.

 

Homemade bread!!!!

 

I'm kinda intimidated by yeast.  My wife actually makes the pizza dough.

Yes I do, the oil they use to cook in restaurants is really bad for you. I would mostly cook myself no matter where I live.

I'm exactly the same. Also, I struggle to enjoy paying good money for something which, most of the time isn't as good as what I'd cook at home...

Here's my rig. I'm in India so i need to eat plain food regularly.  I use this to make tea in the morning otherwise.
