Thread: Dinner

Charleyboy, you ever thought about flogging your pies? Could make a few beer tokens selling them to the local expats. You seem to enjoy making them as much as eating them and they look the business. I know if I lived near you and you sold them, I'd buy a couple a week.

Fozzy. I used to sell the Gala pies to a few of the lads around here but, TBH, it became a chore.

If you're ever down/up this way, call in, I'm sure there will be a pie for you!

I have sampled Chas,s pies first hand Foz , there worth taking a trip to Cha am for

^Flattery will get you everywhere, Nige!

No home economics was the class we took during school time , the cooking club was after school activities and besides I had other activities on my mind with one of the girls in the same club from another class

Let me carry her cake tin home for her she did ( and that was as far as that got )

Made 7 of these last night. A bit of left over pastry also turned into a raspberry jam concoction.

Sold 2 @ 70 baht each...Very cheap!




Cooked the beetroot the other day, was very sweet.

^ You need to learn how to sprinkle green shit on your food, Chuck.

Point in case right here. Makes it look more edible than it actually is...

And always wash your supper down with a crisp Pinot Gregio...

Slap - are you trying to make pad krappow?

Next time try wiping your arse with your bare hand prior to making it for the authentic flavour and after effects.

I guess if you don't really need the money then it would become a bit tedious and unnecessary.

Cheers mate. Haven't been to Hua hin/Cha Am since we got caught up in the tsunami and needed somewhere to spend New Year. Only a matter of time before I'm back that way again.

I bet. You can tell just by looking at them that they're the real deal.

Coupled with rotini, nonetheless.

Oh dear..

It was too. It doesn't look that big but that is half a boneless duck.

Given that Duck King is the name of the restaurant you wanna hope they get that right...

Certainly not.

That's minced lamb surprise.

The surprise being that, despite the plethora of ingredients, it doesn't actually taste of anything.

A meal fit for Texpat.

With Brook beans!

No peas....??

Just cleaning the fridge out before going away for a while, and had a mix of salad that needed eating or throwing out. Carrot, lettuce, chilies, bell pepper, olives, Mozzarella, onions, celery, tomatoe, and feta. Poured some balsamic dressing over it and it worked out ok. Plus a bit of Aussie rib-eye on the side.



And on the rib-eye front, you guys in Pattaya who like imported meat should try the steaks available in the meat section cold-window at Macro. It's cheaper than everywhere else (about 1100 or 1200 Baht a kilo) and it's really good eating. The rib-eyes come 2 to a pack and they're cryovaced so they can sit in you fridge for a long time. I'd gladly pay a few grand for a steak dinner using this product, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if it's not the same meat they use at places like Bruno's or Mata Hari. I was a bit rough with the tongs while flipping this piece but straight out of the pack, the steaks look great.

You have a pink plate.
