No, my wife but I'll pass on your critique, thank you. I notice this topic is littered with posts of your culinary expertise.

 

I hope it tasted better than it looks!!! She did her best, bless her.

Enough said.

 
these country girls don't know what they do...

Yes they do...

but they are so pure and innocent...unlike the demon womanhood that lurks within the evil depths of BKK...

 

no matter that the skimpy shorts are in inverse proportion to the length of their legs and etc...like I said, the market is my primary entertainment as that's where the kids go to show off...tutsi with ball cap pulled low with mirrored shades...and ye can look at the vegetables on offer to boot...

 

btw, had the chilled cuke salad with stir fried chicken and holy basil (first effort, too heavy on the sauces) and it was OK...believe I'll stick with the yogurt dressing for the cukes...

Touchy today are we? Get out of bed on the wrong side?

 

If you had looked carefully I replied to your first post which you had not mentioned the peas.

I'll have to try the yogurt...I always like 'em with sour-cream dressing but I'm too fat already...

Nice thing about vinegar is that it guilt-free...

Now where did I bad mouth your wife? I never mentioned her at all.

Not you.

 

Anyway, forget it, was meant to be a light-hearted post on my dinner. I mentioned to a mate in our Line group that I could really go fish & chips.

 

Wifey read it (forgot she was in the group), popped back home from a friends house, got the fish and batter ready and went back out again.

 

Didn't expect the food police is all and I don't like minty or mushy peas.

not really...the thread has just 'evolved' a bit from posting photos of luscious meals to actually discussing recipes, ingredients (long legs and nice butts at the market) and etc...

 

I have found recently that I'm using a lot of garlic, chiles and fresh ginger in combination and many recipes call for them to be ground together in a mortar and pestle...much like what our thai neighbors use regularly...I've been using a small wooden arrangement (bought in the middle east and used for grinding dry whole spices) and now have decided to buy the real thing (thai, made from stone) for which the step daughter sighed so as to say: 'I wondered when yer were gonna wise up, tutsi' and she knows where to get a nice one fer the best price: 'not at the talat, ye gots to go the the weekend market down the road by the wat...'

 

used the one upstairs for the first time tonight with the assistance of the niece (now decently attired in her pyjamas, and she sez: 'uncle tutsi, ye got bits of chile and garlic stuck to yer belly, would you like to add them to the mixture?') to make to following:

 

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/aug/11/alumni-recipes-sam-clark-chef-jonathan-jones-jacob-kenedy-april-bloomfield

 

(see 'braised aubergines with potatoes' at the end of the article)

 

I posted this one before and it serves to highlight the benefit of always having potatoes and tomatoes around...was rummaging around in the bottom of the vegetable bin in the fridge and found a couple of week old phallic green eggplants, et viola!

 

a very nice result and amenable to many variations with curry spices and etc...

 

 

Vegans & carnivores unite again! GF made a sirloin for herself and marinated shiitake--mushroom tofu "steak" for me. Mushroom & onion gravy on the side, with sauteed onions, tomatos, ocra, asparagus, carrots...and a pile of braised potatoes.

both look good i (reluctantly) admit 

stir fry chicken breast with sweet paprika and yogurt, or: tutsi's chicken paprika...

 

2 medium onions chopped and stir fried in butter in the wok until translucent, then add one whole chicken breast (2 half breasts, about a kilo) cut into small pieces...brown fer a bit then dose heavily (3 - 4 tbsp) with sweet paprika (available at makro when I looked last) and cook a bit more...add some chicken broth (from a broth cube) not to cover but just to simmer a bit, keep scrapin' the bottom of the wok...when the chicken is cooked add salt to taste (the broth cube has a lot of salt)...

 

then add yer homade plain yogurt to the mixture...Julia Child sez to have the sauce 'coat a spoon lightly' but I like to high dose that mother...I made hungarian style dumplings once but decided that I liked it better with some tagliatelle...the yogurt - onion - paprika sauce goes quite nicely with the pasta...

 

note: no garlic or any other strong ingredients, the idea is to coax out the nice aroma of the paprika...

 

gonna make some tmw...that homade plain yogurt is good to have on hand...have got some cukes inna yogurt dressing in the fridge since the early p.m...

The 140mg frozen salmon fillets are not bad, when they first introduced them a couple of year ago they were only 69 baht.  Better than the 299 baht ones sitting next to them.  As far as Mirin is concerned, it is cheap sake with glucose syrup added  and they can only sell it to you during the alcohol selling hours.  I just pull off the alcohol tax tag and have never had a problem, after the first time.

who or what is Mirin and how many fillets of salmon each 140 milligrams does one need for a regular meal?

Mirin is a Japanese cooking wine made from sake and glucose syrup.  Because it has sake in it which contains alcohol Thailand applies the alcohol tax to it and puts the tax stamp on it and Tesco will only sell it to you during approved alcohol selling times even though it is in the grocery section with other liquid condiments.

 

The 140mg salmon fillets are vacuum packed and the fish is actually quite good and a lot better than the so called fresh that is sold that is left to dry out on the counter because nobody buys it.  The number of 140mg pieces that you choose to eat at a meal is "up to you" but I normally only eat one with veggies and a salad.
