You guessed it Joe. It's probably not as bad as it looks if you treat it same as baked potato, smothered in butter with some salt. Hell I could probably eat a warm turd if it was smothered in butter with some salt. But I am a picky eater, normally I don't eat things that look like my morning shit.

Tried it myself once, it would make interesting french fries!

No reason it should be. I don't believe the brits out number the rest of us ex-pats so much, the brits are just loud and obnoxious and drive a lot of good people away.

First item cooked in my new air fryer...



Cajun rubbed pork chops and rice.

^ Looks great!

Sure does.

I set up my new convection oven/air fryer this morning. I don’t have any pork chops to cook, though.

You should get yourself some as they were amazing in that air fryer, and they only took five minutes because they were on the thin side. I am already happy with this purchase. I got the Ninja foodi 11 in 1. I am really liking that I will be able to pressure-cook something and then crisp it all in the same machine.

Yeah, pork chops aren't readily available in Chiang Mai.

Neither are whole chickens or, these days, chicken thighs.

Plenty of feet around though.

With Tops and Rim Ping markets that sounds strange. I googled Tops online and there are chops it seems. Since the other members of the house dont eat beef, chops are my go to meat.

They may have them intermittently at Tops and Rimping. However those are 8 kilometres or more away from me, therefore, as I said, not readily available.

But doubtless the link will come in handy.

Sweet potato, I grew them a couple of years ago, great as mashed potato and gives a bit of colour to a roast dinner.

TBH, I had my doubts until the wife tried them for Christmas dinner one year. Still use normal potatoes for roast though...

Good god, 8 km is too far for you to drive to a grocery?

You need to get to know a butcher and they'll cut what you want if you give them notice, they can't however cut any Thai beef and make it edible.

Get ready. The Brits are going to have a field day with this one. That said, I love me some biscuits and gravy, beats beans for breakfast any day.

The pork chop looks good but the yellow rice looks even better. Can’t get any decent yellow rice here.

Tonight, spaghetti and plant-based balls

It's a proper breakfast for sure and its infinitely superior to beans.

SL, How were the plant balls?

^^ I like biscuits and gravy actually, i also like grits and mounds of well done bacon.

Added some spices with some cooked onions and celery and then mixed it with the plant-based meat. Then slowly cooked them before adding them to the tomato sauce.

They were alright. But it wasn’t 80/20 (meat to fat) good ground beef.
