sceadugenga Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The small hairdressers on the old airport end of Sanambin Road (think the old Belgian Baker's shop that closed). On the right approaching the airport; the sign is easily seen. 60 baht for a trim from one of two young ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The little Delicatessen behind DaVinci's is selling home made cheese. It was described to me as blue but while it definitely has blue influences is more of the softer Brie type. Most edible, I had some melted on a toasted bread roll with a little raw onion and a slice or two of choritzo (from the Swiss deli) last night. 200B+ gets you quite a nice sized round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I had some of that thinly sliced hard smoked pork the other day. This is amazing stuff, not only for a snack but it can be used in cooking for anything you put ham or bacon in with twice the flavour. Brilliant addition to fried rice, especially if you use brown rice like I do. The brown rice has a lot more flavour than white and needs other strong flavours added to it. I need a regular supply, anyone seen it around? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have one of those old George Foreman grills that used to be advertised on TV. The amount of fat that runs out of belly strips is hard to believe. The way the Thais bbq pork is a bit too rare for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinly sliced regular pork at the main market near old clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Macaroni cheese made with the Da Vinci Deli's blue cheese that they make themselves. Just a white sauce with a teaspoon of English mustard then add the cheese until you can almost stand the spoon up in it. Add a few veggies of choice if you're feeling healthy, I just threw a handful of frozen peas into the pasta before I drained it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villagefarang Posted April 30, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2014 Sitting by the pond, feeding the fish, watching my dog swim, feeling a gentle breeze out of the south and being able to actually see the hillsides in front of me are all very very good things.

Popular Post villagefarang Posted May 1, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) After a lovely morning spent pond side watching my dog swimming with her fish, I decided to keep the good times rolling by going for a mountain bike ride. Unfortunately by the time we got our harry child clean enough to return indoors, it was nearly 2 o’clock. This time of year, that is a little late to be starting out on a three hour ride but when I left there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. When I stopped to top up my bottle at 17 km, things were still good but starting to change. Before long the sun was gone and my wife was calling to make sure I was being safe. I assured her I was moving away from the approaching storm and things still looked good where I was. There has been some hail recently along with strong winds so I understood her concern. I picked up the pace but finally lost the race around the 35 km mark where the wind nearly knocked me off my bike. I probably could have made it a bit further but I knew I was about to enter open fields again very soon and there would be no shelter, so I pulled into a big sheltered storage area. Before long the owner showed up, also getting out of the weather, and I apologized for encroaching on his space but he was very gracious, bringing out a couple of stools to sit on and some cold water to drink. We sat and talked while the rains came and went. We were speaking different regional dialects but I think we both found it interesting. The look on his face was priceless when he found out we were not the same age and I was a good ten years older than him. It was a wet, dirty and chilly ride home from there as it was still raining a bit. Even with headwinds and sloppy conditions late in the ride, I still matched the 21.7 km/h pace of my ride a few days earlier. Not a bad day, all things considered.
