Made Pizza for tea ........

Only bacon, but I made my own dough and chopped my own tomatoes.

Very cheap to make, almost nothing for the dough and tomato, I make a weeks worth of dough and keep it in the fridge.

300bht for 1Kg of Macro Mozzarella, 300bht for 1.5Kg of Makro bacon, 250bht for a liter of olive oil.

The expensive items last for ages. Works out around 15bht per pizza.

I just finished a small bowl of greek yogurt and muesli [not very photogenic] but looking at the photos, now I am really hungry...

Can someone tell me where I can get tofu that tastes like and has consistency of chicken? I have had it in a Vegetarian restaurant in Bkk, but don't know where to purchase it...

Gourmet Market...basement of Terminal 21. They sell some "J" (veg) mock meats in the refrigerated section...chicken, pork, fish balls. GF uses the "chicken" to make vegan Bar-B-Q (shish kabobs)

Are you really dipping those in ketchup?

And mustard! YUM! ;-)

800ml of bread flour (Swan or TFM), 350ml of water, 10ml Fermiplan red yeast, 2 teaspoons sugar, pinch of salt.

Stir in a bowl until roughly mixed, turn out and knead until smooth (5mins, keep adding flour to board so it doesn't stick), back in the bowl and covered with plastic for 2 hours.

Store in the fridge and cut off as needed.

Wow..!

I guess this thread just didnt work.......Maybe rename it.

I guess this thread just didnt work.......Maybe rename it.

What makes you say that? It has relatively more views than many threads in this section. I could have chosen a better name for sure but it is showing what people are making in their kitchens in Thailand. In some case recipes are being shared and discussed. More information about food has been shared in this single thread than many others combined.

If a mod wants to step in and change the name to food and recipes with pictures or something like that I would have no problem with it. The important part to me is only that people post pictures.

How about some just sliced home cured and cooked corned beef sandwich?

WayneD, that looks amazing...

Today, I made a pot of chicken soup with beef meatballs & egg noodles.

Not our typical supper at home, but this is typically what we eat at night after we break our fast along with fresh soup or boeber (milky treat with vermicelli and sago) - pictured (front plate - savouries) are beef mince samosas, chicken and corn samosas, chilli bites (baji) (round deep-fried snack), sausage rolls, mini steak pies (square pastry), mini chicken pizza (front) and on the back plate are all the sweet snacks - front - koeksisters (Cape Malay snack), muffin, chocolate brownies, swiss/ jam

roll, fruit cake, bollas (cape malay donut) and potato fritters. All home-made - not by me lol... I only made the savouries, the sweet stuff comes from my neighbours. In fast we have a tradition here in Cape Town to share our snacks before we break our fast. So I send whatever snacks I made to my neighbours and they send back whatever they made . So by the time we eat, we have a whole variety... but I have to be honest, we NEVER even manage to eat a quarter of the goodies on the table at night and I end up taking it to work with me for my non-muslim colleagues. They love it! By the way, I'm Cape Malay means I am Malay in origin, but was born and bred in Cape Town, South Africa.

Pancakes with sugar and lime.

Easiest meal in the world, 250ml milk, 150ml cake flour, level dessert spoon baking powder, 1 egg, pinch of salt.

Mix together into a batter and fry. makes two plates of pancakes for around 10bht.

Good with jam, ice cream or honey too.

1/2 Kg of ginger and choc chip oatmeal cookies.

Around 10-15Bht to make.

A small can of Prego tomato basil garlic pasta sauce, 6 drum sticks, a pinch of oregano, cook on high in a slow cooker for 2 hours. Do not add water. Remove the meat and add cooked pasta to the sauce.

breakfast - 2 boiled eggs, a small yoghurt and a glass of OJ

Maybe a recipe thread would be good?

I want to try making my own bacon since there is so much pork available. Have googled cure recipes on the web and came up with many, but does anyone else do this and wish to share how?

Thanks

350ml plain cake flour, 80ml sugar, 80ml brown sugar, 40ml milk, 25ml ginger powder, 15ml baking powder, 80ml palm oil margarine. Mix it altogether into a paste. Add 300ml rolled oats and 30ml choc drops. Mix again (might need another 10ml milk, but you want a dry mix with nothing falling off)

Flour onto a work surface, compress mix into a slightly squidgy ball, and roll out to 1/2 inch thick, sprinkle flour to stop sticking as required. Use a glass to cut the biscuits.

Place on grease proof paper in the oven at 170c for 20-25mins, when you can move them without the bottom falling off, flip over for another 5-10minutes.

Job Done.

Sometimes I use 80ml of custard powder instead of 25ml ginger, for a different taste.

Makro sell pretty good bacon at around 300bht (for 1-1.5Kg). Hardly worth making your own.

Thanks! Will give it a try

We went out for supper last night to a comedy club but I still had to make supper for my son. We're into Tapas and Mezzes now (my son and I go through different dietary stages every so often).

From top clockwise: Home-made humus, home-made tahini (brown sauce in jar), home-made baba-ganouche, fried eggplant with balsamic vinegar, home-made falafel balls, shop-bought olive tapenade (small jar) and centre, shop-bought mini-pita breads. Busy making my own labneh too. Will only be done today though. it's a 24-hour process. Was my first time making any of these and I am quite chuffed with myself . Only had to buy the aubergines and the chickpeas. I had the rest of the ingredients at home. Got all my recipes from The Minimalist Baker on Google.
