These are my favorite mushrooms in Thailand - if possible fresh from the market.

Derr, the reason is my post(see above) you replied to! Straw man mushrooms,😭 geez.get a life

 

What is this nonsense? 

[KhunLA]

Last night's leftover; spicy sausage, egg noodles w/sausage & onions, and since brekkie, added a cheese omelet 

 

[OneMoreFarang]

Kai-Jeow crab meat on bread with butter and a little ketchup. 

And bread with cream cheese and avocado. (no, I am not a millennial)

Scrambled El Mexico

 

[atpeace]

One can of tuna in salt water (hated every bite ), banana, and lots of coffee with cream.  Lunch is where I feast!

[pgrahmm]

2 Fried eggs & pork, with homemade toasted bread with grape jelly - 4 pc....A glass of non-fat milk...

My wife also made a vegetable soup of which I had a bowl....

 

Then, as I'm finishing up, and full - she pops this dish of fruit in front of me - "eat this too, it's good for you".....

 

Basically, if I want to eat anything that's bad for me, I usually go out & to eat....

My wife works hard to provide a healthy "menu" variety for us....

[KhunLA]

Scrambled Alaska (salmon + tomato), and the dark stuff is Crispy Onion Spicy Oil.

 

With a side of 'desert' carbs.   It's not always what you eat, for being healthy, but how and when you eat.

 

First meal after a 15 hr overnight fast.  Protein & fat eaten first, to slow the carb/sugar digestion, low to no, sugar/insulin spike.

 

Carbs: homemade bread (no sugar), homemade black currant preseerves (no sugar), even an absurd amount of homemade butter added, again to slow carb digestion.

 

Afterward, now, dog will take me for my morning walk in the park, again, slowing carb digestion. 

 

Eating healthy, ever crap carbs, is easy, with a little fore thought.   ENJOY

Not sure how this post can confuse anyone.  Think someone needs to do a bit of research, how to eat, to control insulin spikes from carbs/sugar.

 

How to, eating order ...

 

 

Taking a walk after eating ...

My fave breakfast is proper French Toast. So far, I've found none up to snuff in Chiang Mai.

 

... lay out for a bottle of maple syrup.

 

For excellent French Toast, try the new Route 66 Diner, East of town.

I've ordered it twice in recent months.

First time was very good: down-home style, not hi-so restaurant fancy.

But second time was not very good.  I'd bet they brought in a temp cook or something like that.

Still, worth a try to see if they can return to the original standard.

 

Has occurred to me to bring my own bottle of maple syrup.

Waitrose brand from TOPS Food Hall.

But I haven't done that yet: don't want to get mobbed by my fellow American breakfast eaters.

Skipped the horrible hotel breakfest and went for this instead. Fantastic

 

After 12 days with hotel breakfest, where Centara in Korat was the best and the hotel we staying now in Koh Mak had so horrible coffe decided to go outside. A very good decision 

 

Great coffe and two slices for 180baht

Trying not to make the 'Daily Eggs' too boring ...

... and a great use of leftovers 😎

Waitrose is an English supermarket.

Honey and Maple syrup are the same as normal sugar, but taste nicer.

For my fellow North American, expat, breakfast-eaters, maple syrup can be an essential food element.

So, I want to clear up any confusion about that.

 

Waitrose brand name maple syrup (100% pure Canadian)  is sold at TOPS "Food Hall" supermarkets in Thailand.

 

 

But no guarantee that it will be in stock at all times. 

And smaller TOPS, such as "Daily" are not likely to carry expensive farang food like Canadian maple syrup  ... only the much cheaper "Imperial" brand chemical sludge.

 

Suggestions:

 

For a very tasty beverage, I put 2 Tablespoons of maple syrup in a glass with very cold, plain soda water.

Gives a delicious "cream soda" with none of the artificial chemicals in "Hales" syrup.

 

For an even more delicious "ice cream soda" substitute, put on top of that about 1/2 cup of heavy cream.

 

Returning to breakfast topic:

For North American expats here who remember church pancake suppers, the pancakes at Bucoliq restaurant out in San Sai are very close to that taste and texture.

Not 100%, but very close.

USA does produce Maple Syrup, and shy of 6M gallons a year, though far behind Canada

Actually a huge 1st meal for me.  My usual eggs w/crispy onion chili oil.   Hoping the steak, eggs (fat & protein), eaten first, then the whole wheat croissant's protein & fat, along with the cream cheese, will negate most of the carbs & sugar, eaten last.  So digested slower, and no sugar / insulin spike.

 

Add in the walk at the park, which is next ... so still eating Keto-ish, and much healthier than years past.  This after that 15 hr overnight fast 

 

[pgrahmm]

Breakfast burritos with eggs, stir fried spicy pork on the wife's homemade tortillas & with hot salsa......

Veggies & fresh fruit available as side dishes.....

Steak & eggs look good - I could eat that now. Not really a croissant person though

Sorry, but eating a croissant is not ok just because you eat it after steak and eggs because it lowers the sugar spike.

A croissant is a croissant. It's refined carbs. 

I hope you're not eating croissants every morning. That will set your health goals back.

I agree, and no, don't eat croissants very often, just for that reason.  But, when I do, I try to limit the sugar / insulin spikes, as much as possible.  Loading up with fat & protein before, with a stroll afterward helps that.

And a few days ago, I made this one especially for my gf.
