over 40 ? STOP EATING BREAKFAST...

Does first meal of eggs count as breakfast if eaten around 1100 hrs.   Never was a big early morning breakfast eater.  

 

Why I hate when buffet brekkie is included in hotels, with no opt out option.

Not cooking this morning. 

Instead I enjoyed a delicious Eggs Benedict at the Mandarin Oriental's Verandah Restaurant. 

Lovely cool morning to be watching the boats go past on the Chao Phraya river.

Tonight I will be cooking chicken breast with an Italian Arabiata sauce with just a little bit of chili in it and chopped black and green olives, accompanied by a few small new potatoes – – and of course the obligatory half bottle of wine (plus)!

 

I still have some tofu left over from yesterday's menu, so tomorrow I may well revisit my Chinese Mabo Tofu recipe, with pork mince and mixed brown rice.

 

AND,  I'm trying to cut down on my carbohydrate intake so have stopped making my home-made pizzas (three plus a week), but I am getting withdrawal symptoms, so rather than make a pizza myself in a couple of days I will buy one from Da Moreno, the Italian restaurant nearby which makes superb pizzas.

New potatoes  ? You mean baby potatoes that you can peel with your thumb ? As a Brit I only know Jersey new potatoes which are delicious . Where can you buy new potatoes in Thailand please ? Normally use them in salads .

They are from Germany and are labelled "Kartofflen" and I've seen them on Lazada, but they are quite a bit cheaper in Big C (189 baht I think).

Hmmm.......I'm afraid I've "fallen out of love" with everyday Pinot Noir ever since I tasted the top of the range French ones, because there is nothing to match them IMO.

 

So I'm afraid I can't really help you on that score and my main drinking at the moment consists of wines from Italy, and you may well find a few "lighter" red wines there – – good luck.

 

As an addendum to that posted above, I have tasted a few from Australia, but have never really come to terms with them for one reason or another, but then again everyone to their own.
