Tonight's dinner, yes not breakfast, dinner....

Avocado on toast with an egg. The fruit stand next door is selling avocados for 40 pesos for two or 100 for three. ~60B for 3 nice sized avocadoes...pretty damn cheap I reckon.

Apropos of nothing

I was getting pissed one day with a chef from France on 22 and a rat came up from behind the bar.

The French chef was apoplectic, but the takeaway from this was not the rat but to eat Burger King.

I'm a bit pissed now vut I hope you got the gist.

You're 54.

The next big one is 60.


Gramps.

Tonight I had my second attempt at replicating the delicious baked chicken breast in a brie and bacon sauce I had in Dorset a few weeks ago.

Dinner

After a morning's gardening and near heatstroke I decided to quickly pop over to Makro where I had been advised I could find some brie... normally a 45 minute round trip for a small shop.

The b@stard battery was flat. I've been away for a week during which I don't think the car was driven, but even so, a bit of a worry for a two year old battery. The gardener was out so I had to call him and tortuously explain what the problem was. My Thai doesn't run to technical problems.

Anyway, half an hour later...



Off we set and arrived at Makro, While walking from the car park I checked my wallet to make sure I had the Makro card... but my wallet wasn't where it should have been in my left pocket. I then remembered that I'd left it on the shelf outside the house and had forgotten to pick it up in all the excitement of jump starting the Vigo. So back home we went, and back to Makro again. My mood now not as good as earlier.

At least they had the bladdy brie... two types in fact and despite sounding a bit Danish I went for the Emborg and saved myself 20 Baht.



We arrived home with the brie two and a half hours after the trip was first thought about... not the 45 minutes I had expected.

Anyway, as usual the meal was a disaster. The chicken was overcooked and the chips were under cooked. The brie and bacon sauce came out like dollops of mashed potato. I get very little pleasure out of cooking these days and I wish I'd just taken a steak and kidney pie out of the freezer.

Don't say that!!! Can you name something that came out perfect on the very first time you tried?

I've had much worse than reds for what I've allegedly posted on a forum....

I have edited in a smiley

Thanks for the advice, Joe!

Look... no peas! Although it felt a bit weird.



Chicken penne bake in a brie and bacon sauce! With sweetcorn as a pea substitute.

Maybe some sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and onion to go in the pasta. Rather than a side of corn. Gotta get your garlic bread carbs going as well.

Looks fine though. Maybe some broccoli florets and diced carrot in the pasta as well as onion, and cut out the corn.

I had a reasonably good but very expensive Ploughmans last night. However, the cheddar was bloody marvellous.







They also had this on tap, which I decided to give a go after reading Mendip's recommendation on here.



Can anyone name the castle in the background in Ye Olde England (there are actually two)?
