Ophelia then replied to Bruce's comment. For whatever reason, Ophelia doesn't use delimiters (>) in her posts, so it gets somewhat confusing as to who said what. But as I said before, no problem. I was just pointing it out and then moved onto the topic of food again. I have no desire to drag it out any further beyond that, even though some others may prefer I did :) OB Food: Dragon fruit and bananas with yoghurt for breakfast. |

One of my big disappointments has been that she died before our son could develop enough of a relationship with her to remember her. Before I met my wife I was seriously dating a cute Polish girl. He mother was a widow. She barely spoke English. Maybe she thought she did but I could not understand her, nor could she understand me. One night GF and I had a bit of a serious conversation and she indicated that she was interested in getting married and having her mother move in with us. We went on to make out hot and heavy. I kissed her goodnight and I did call her again. I ran for the hills. |

I reckon it may have changed just a little since you were there! As you mention, there's many places to get a suit, and jewelry and... well, literally anything else you might want. There's a big Arab, Indian and African population there as well as expats and tourists who mainly some for the sex trade. People from all walks of life. Nana plaza is only a few minutes walk from there, which is quite infamous. Here's a few random pics from Sukhumvit: https://postimg.cc/gallery/11lmgyah0/ |

It's a good thing then that your wife made up her own mind, rather than listen to her stepmom, like some people might. |

Yes, The closest to Thai food is definitely in Laos, especially western Laos. Around the Golden Triangle, you also see a lot of Yunnan (Chinese food). Our area and much of the central to north is described as 'Isaan' - that also goes for the people, dialect and food. A lot of the food is for the very adventurous compared to elsewhere. I like a lot of it, but not all. > In the south >(Bangkok) Vietnamese has little influence. Chinese, perhaps. There's a >large Chinese population in Thailand.

From what I can tell via Google maps, the house we rented on Soi 63 (Ekamai) is long gone. I went to the Sukumvit market with our maid and bought some pretty (tiny) speckled green fish to put in the shallow decorative cement fish pond next to the house. Unfortunately, our dog thought they were a snack. :( There was a small, shallow natural pond on the property, too. Fed underground by the nearby klongs. There was a walking catfish in that pond. In monsoon season the fish would literally come up out of the water onto the land. I witnessed this myself, to my utter amazement. We had a dog my dad brought home under the guise of us needing a "guard dog". Truth be told, another Marine was being transferred out and couldn't take the dog to his next assignment so Dad sorta volunteered. It was a German Shepherd mix. And no more of a guard dog than I am. He was really just a big furry eating machine. His name was Kamoi. I soon understood his name based on his habit of stealing the gardener's hat. Or anything else he could get his paws on. :) Anyway, the catfish was daring. It would come up close to the surface by the bank and Kamoi would go crazy barking at it. The catfish could have eaten on the other side of the pond where there was no place for the dog to see it or get to it. Same bits of flotsam and jetsom and whatever bugs and things the fish come to the surface to eat. I swear, that darn fish was deliberately teasing the dog. I'm pretty sure Kamoi eventually won that battle. There's a moral in that story somewhere. ;) Jill |

Your qualifications don't seem so sterling. Why the heck do you think you know so much about Americans? You seem to have found all your knowledge about us from comic books.

Your qualifications don't seem so >sterling. Why the heck do you think you know so much about Americans? Do I? RFC is a selection of people. For instance, here most Americans are older and don't mind all the chemical additions to food. They see that as one of the advances of post-war science and eat it all happily. But I know that there's also a big health movement in the US. People who wouldn't touch those science projects. They're just not in RFC very much. Same with animal welfare. There are lots of Americans who care about other animals than pets, but the old RFC folk don't. My prejudices are more about RFC Americans than about Americans in general. >You seem to have found all your knowledge about us from comic books. Lol, I've hardly ever read any American comic books. Maybe Batman a bit. Do you wear a cape? >Of course, common sense tells us that people that have not lived in Hawaii shouldn't make blanket statements about the Hawaiians - it seems that they've found all their knowledge of Hawaii on cans of fruit punch and Maui style potato chips. I have most of my knowledge of Hawaiians from you. Before RFC, I knew as little about Hawaii as about Haiti or Guadeloupe. |

It is much easier and faster too:))) I haven't made real puff pastry for eons. I started making rough puff in my early 20s and I am still doing so:)) I still have my Bero book, but it is just about falling to bits <g> This is mine https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/192850355084?chn=ps Bero Rough Puff Pastry http://www.be-ro.co.uk/Be-Ro/media/downloads/Be-Ro_website_recipes.pdf Ingredients 225 g (8 oz) Be-Ro Plain Flour a pinch of salt 100 ml (4 fl oz) water 150 g (5 oz) lard and margarine, mixed cold water to mix Preparation Instructions 1. Mix flour and salt, add fat cut into small pieces. 2. Stir in with a knife (do not rub in). Mix to a stiff dough with water. 3. Roll out on a floured surface to a narrow strip. 4. Fold in three, give a quarter turn so one of the open ends is towards you and roll out again. Do this three times in all. 5. Cover pastry and leave to rest (about 15 minutes) then roll into desired shape. 6. In hot weather allow pastry to rest for 20-30 minutes in a refrigerator or cool place before use. NB: Always take care to roll away from you and do not break the air bubbles that will rise. I use butter or lard, it tastes better. |

Good stuff, bro! I made the mistake of ordering a vegetarian pizza when we lived on Cape Cod. Here, you're likely to get toppings of green pepper, onion, mushroom, black olives and occasionally pineapple. The pizza I got had all of those things except for the pineapple but it also had a ton of broccoli! I immediately knew something was wrong when I was handed a soggy, wet box. The broccoli had cooked down to mush and ruined the whole pizza. The crust was so damp, the slices fell apart when you tried to pick them up. I hate cooked broccoli! Picking it off didn't help either. It invaded everything and made it taste like broccoli. I called the place and complained. They did send me a coupon for a free pizza but I never used it. I couldn't shake the memories of that hideous one! |
