It was a bar on Sadao Soi 5 owned by an English fella Bernie. Must have been back in '97.

The Office Bar, although it may not have been called the office yet. It's changed hands a few times since Bernie then closed a while before covid for good. It's reopened as a morning dim-sum place this year.

Bernie died from cancer. I don't recall what year but he was still writing to the Bangkok Post, as he did regularly, in April 2016.

Did Tam bring the haggis?

**happynz** · 13-04-2023, 04:24 AM

No, not Tam. It was some old fella, I can't recall his name.

It was very naughty of Senorita to bring round the good Colonels fine fare which I have asked her not to do

But sometimes you just have to go with the flow

So I fired up the projector for Avatar II

And we saved a bit of room to squeeze in a slice of luminous green sponge layer cake from the deli where she got the coffee cake last time and a side of anti-oxidant red dragon fruit for a balanced meal

Its been hot as hell during this Songkran break so I came up with a "salad" type meal famous in SF. Seafood Louis made from scratch. Crab, prawns, iceberg lettuce, eggs, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, lightly blanched asparagus tips, and thinly sliced onions. Wife loved it so all is good.

Lucky bastard.

Funny I am flying to California next week for 2 weeks and my colleague friends and daughters are saying it's 12c day and 8c at night. Lord. That's a glacier event.

April showers bring May flowers as they say. The Vineyards should be really nice.

Lemon chicken with potatoes
Arroy mak mak and very easy to make.
One of the things that i miss from the US are new potatoes. Those little red a blue small round potatoes that you cook with the skin.
I have yet to find them in Thailand
While at Macro the other day , I found potatoes that were as small as new potatoes in a bag but seemed to be like Russet potatoes .

and i bought a couple of bags. had to wash them real well, several changes of water, but got them pretty clean to be able and cook with the skin.
I had also bought a few chicken legs and Thighs
The Sauce was Olive oil, lemon, oregano and mustard, salt a pepper.
Potatoes were cut in half , or if bigger in quarters and mixed with the Sauce.
Chicken Thighs were washed, dried , placed in a baking pan , and some of the oil, lemon a mustard sauce brushed on
and the potatoes spread around the chicken.

Not sure why I can't make this picture bigger, but who wants to look a raw chicken anyway.

Salt and pepper was sprinkled after tha sauce, because we don't want the salt and pepper being washed away by the sauce and ending up at the bottom of the baking pan.
Bake at 350 f for about 80 minutes or until the chicken reach an internal temperature at the thickest part of 160 f
Wife had gone visiting relatives, so I invited my Australian buddy from around the corner for a couple of beers and lunch.
He brought a six pack of beer with him, I had many more in my refrigerator.
Many beers were hurt in the making of this story

I cooked the chicken in my small electric oven outside because I did not want to use the oven in the kitchen and make the house hot. Though a bit cooler today, It is still hot as hell.
The Chicken and potatoes was promptly consumed ( a couple of hours), and my friend rode his bike home to take a nap , I cleaned up a bit and did the same upstairs.
Need to call him and see if he made it home OK, 'cause he is a lightweight and was two sheets to the wind when he left but I don't want to wake him up if he is still sleeping.

I was salivating halfway through that^

Looks great

**DrWilly** · 18-04-2023, 02:34 AM

Interesting that you cook raw chicken and raw potatoes together…

**DrWilly** · 18-04-2023, 02:37 AM

A pretty ordinary T-bone steak. The mash and vegetables were hiding behind the meat.

Why is that?
As you know I come from a Greek household, and that's the way everyone did it, at least everyone I know.
The combination of the marinade and chicken fat helps caramelise the potatoes and gives it a good taste.

I have fond memories spending summers at my aunt Caterina's in Greece . Mid morning aunt would prepare a flat pan of chicken and potatoes, or stuffed tomatoes and we would go swimming . On the way to the beach , actually it weas a rocky coast that we loved to go to and jump in the water from the rocks.
anyway,on the way to the water there was a bakery that mostly baked bread and pastries. we would drop of the pan of uncooked food and tell them what time we will be coming back to pick it up.
We were not the only ones who did this, there were several trays of food waiting to get baked.
The bakery did not mind making some extra money since the already had the ovens running.
After a day's frolicking in the water on our way back home we would pick up our tray of food and a freshly baked loaf of bread , go home , eat and then take an afternoon nap.
Ahhh, those were the days.
That was my uncle Nico's boat ,he was an engineer in the merchant marine and was mostly traveling , so we had use of the boat.
The skinny guy in the back with the yellow hat was me. on the windshield in the middle is my younger sister Theodora, to her left is my cousin Lefteris and captain., whose father owned the boat
Good memories!!

Cos I thought their cooking times would be different. I have no problem with the hot chicken fat basting the chips.

Oh I get it, makes sense. I did not think of that.
When I make beef stew I always put the potatoes in the last 30 minutes. I f I put them in at the beginning , by the time the beef is cooked the potatoes would have melted.
With the Chicken things they have approximately the same baking time. Actually the potatoes depending on size take a litle longer.
Try the recipe, it is very easy to make , and it makes for a great meal.

**DrWilly** · 18-04-2023, 07:47 AM

I will, cheers!

**Reg Dingle** · 20-04-2023, 12:49 AM
