...a quick update for an old standard:

The BLT, as You’ve Never Seen It

Crunchy, spicy and quick to make, BLT tacos are a simple after-work dinner, or a brunch you can make while you’re still half-asleep.

Lighter than the usual sandwich, these BLT tacos let the crispiness of bacon and the lettuce shine through against juicy, colorful tomatoes and spicy mayonnaise.CreditAndrew Scrivani for The New York Times
By Melissa Clark (NYT) Aug. 17, 2018

The problem with a BLT, my friend Neil opined, is that there’s always too much bread and not enough bacon.

This was why, one Sunday morning last spring, he served us BLT tacos for brunch.
It was set out taco-bar style. There was a platter of crisp brown bacon, some romaine lettuce and sliced tomatoes, and a soft towel filled with warmed corn tortillas. Best of all, instead of using plain mayonnaise, he spiked his version with vinegary Cholula hot sauce — a bright orange condiment to slather over everything.
Not only were these BLTs lighter than the usual sandwich, they also had a far more exciting texture. Without the bread slices smothering the shatter and snap of bacon and lettuce, there’s a lot more crunch.

Making a lot of bacon? Cook it on a rimmed baking sheet in the oven.CreditAndrew Scrivani for The New York TimesMy version stays pretty close to his, though I did gussy up the tomatoes a bit, dicing them into a salsa with lime juice, cilantro and jalapeño. But if it seems like one too many things to chop on a weeknight (or weekend morning), skip it and slice up a ripe tomatoes instead.

Another minor deviation: I also added avocado to the tacos for creaminess. But if you can’t get a good one, leave it out.
The bacon, however, is nonnegotiable in any BLT, taco or otherwise.

I like cooking my bacon spread out on a rimmed sheet pan in the oven because I can do a lot of it all at once, and I don’t have to stand over it like when it’s frying. Also, all that splattering bacon grease stays behind the closed oven door, where I can pretend it doesn’t exist.

While the bacon bakes, you can make the salsa (or slice the tomatoes), cut up the avocado and mix the spicy mayonnaise. I like the vinegary sharpness of Cholula hot sauce here, but Tabasco and Crystal are two other good bets. Just stay away from Sriracha, which is slightly sweeter than what you’d want for this particular combination.

Tomatoes, avocado and a spicy mayonnaise round out the meal.

Camel Stew

Not a resounding success, but not really a failure either.

Camel meat from Al Othaim Supermarket

^^ The missus got the hump or something?

**SKkin** · 19-08-2018, 04:50 PM

The only part of the camel I've ever tried was the toe...delicious!

**Neverna** · 19-08-2018, 08:06 PM

And today's gastronomic delight is .... Chilli Beef Baguette, Neverlicious Stylee.

First, take a Tops premium whole-wheat baguette ...

Then cut it and fill it with Nev's signature tasty chilli beef and red kidney beans and add a wee bit of salad stuff for decoration and extra health benefits.

* With apologies to food photographers everywhere.

Felt like something a bit different today, so decided to try out a North Korean restaurant Pyongyang Okryu
Started with the cold noodles with pork and chicken- spicy and zesty, I found it to be very refreshing

Was still hungry so ordered a pork and veggie dish

Washed down with a Singha- sadly no North Korean beer is served.
It was pricey 800 baht all in, but I guess you are going to pay a premium as there aren't that many North Korean restaurants outside of North Korea. Found the service to be friendly, the girls were stunning and happy to help explain the menu; their level of English and Thai was very impressive.

**Mandaloopy** · 20-08-2018, 07:03 PM

**aging one** · 20-08-2018, 08:34 PM

Taking fusion to a new level Mandy. A nice looking Ceasar salad with real Romaine lettuce and nice looking croutons. But to follow with Lahb and somtom? Wow...
