February 21, 201016 yr Author Oh my ! Who could imagine this humble and cheap vegetable would have to travel across the earth, doubling its farang price in the process, before reaching the Thai golden temples of consumption . . . geeeez . . . but well, it's a craving, and I rarely give in to them... too bad for my wallet and my carbon footprint, I'll ride across Bangkok on this holy crusade ! Hooray ! Cheers all ^^

February 22, 201016 yr Author Was in Carrefour Ratchada this afternoon, but they didn't have any. So well, I got some zucchinis to cook a ratatouille to keep me waiting, and I'll find some time for the Holy Witlof Crusade later on ! Cheers all !
