Looks very nice indeed.
Expecting 90% of stays to be 1-2 nights nidhogg. We've practiced a breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes and I think that will be the 'monotony' breaker for long stayers. Plus we can do cereals or muesli in lieu of the overnight oats if they want a break from that. The problem with bacon here in Nan province is getting your hands on good quality stuff, and reliably so. The Makro bacon we ate on Saturday was supposed to be top shelf and yet we found it fatty, bleeding, no flavour and no saltiness. In fact I think the only way it actually succeeded being bacon was in looks (before being cooked). I do have a lead for better quality bacon Crossroads Nan is getting in for their meals and am going to follow up on it. Regards, -BiP

Also you could charge more. And you can flavour it same as pancetta or Thai it up.
Making bacon is on my list of things to do in Thailand. First off its put down the glass and get my elbow out of my arse.

Funny you post that. That is from a burger place here in Seattle they cook a stack of bacon like that everyday and use it to put on their awesome burgers. See here...

Have added that idea of things to explore Orrens. You piqued my interest enough to watch a couple of Youtube videos...interesting. Regards, -BiP

- 1kg Boneless Lamb Bellies
- 5 tablespoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons pink curing salt
- 3 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
- 4 dried bay leaves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Test lamb bellies for saltiness by cutting of a tiny slice and frying it up. If it’s too salty, soak for 30 minutes in cold water. Pat dry, then proceed with the recipe.
Combine salts, sugar, bay leaves and pepper. Rub all over the meats and place in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Rinse, and let dry uncovered in the fridge, overnight.
To smoke, soak woodchips for 30 minutes. Start your smoker and bring temperature up to 200F. Cook lamb bellies until internal temperature reaches 160F, approximately 2 hours. Cooking for an additional hour will intensify the flavors.
Lamb Bacon can be stored, tightly wrapped, in the fridge for about a month.
To serve, slice thinly and fry until crisp.

I like that David, but I don't recall seeing banana bread for sale in Nan. But have not been specifically looking for it. Suppose I could make. I'm pretty handy in the kitchen on most things although my first ever attempt yesterday at whole wheat flour bread probably only a 3/10 effort. Regards, -BiP

Stevia, (Stevia rebaudiana), also called sweet leaf, flowering plant in the aster family (Asteraceae), grown for its sweet-tasting leaves. The plant is native to Paraguay, where it has a long history of use by the Guaraní people. The leaves contain a number of sweet-tasting chemicals known as steviol glycosides, which can be used fresh or dried to sweeten beverages or desserts or can be commercially processed into powdered noncaloric sweeteners. Steviol glycosides, particularly the chemicals stevioside and rebaudioside A, can be more than 300 times sweeter than table sugar and are nonglycemic (i.e., they do not affect blood glucose levels). Touted as a healthier alternative to sugar, stevia sweeteners grew in popularity worldwide in the early 21st century.
