You know, I’m quite proud of my accomplishments in a certain area. Although it sounds gross, my accomplishments in the bathroom are the polar opposite of gross, in fact the epitome of cleanliness.
Soap is the number one accomplishment. I love finishing a bar of soap. I don’t know why, but I suspect it’s because it’s [...]

Just so it’s a matter of public record, there were two people I didn’t get birthday wishes or messages from that I would’ve expected to. I guess that shows you. Rather than shame them publically, I will just say it’s lucky I’m not like the guy I read about in “Watching the English” who kept [...]

Well Dean-mas was great. Mint was very sweet to me, and we had a lovely breakfast (included in the rate of AU$45/night) before coming back to the room for a rest.
We hit the Warorot markets and enjoyed famous Chiang Mai-style sausage with rice for lunch. Mint bought some bits and pieces, I bought Lara a [...]

Sitting in the Royal Silk Lounge at Suvarnabhumi (pronounced Soo-wanna-poorn) airport (pronounced air-port) gives me some time to rat-a-tat out a quick blog post.
Mint didn’t quite believe me that we could eat for free in the lounge, and on the (arduous) walk there, she doubted it so hard she was tempted to buy boring food [...]

Mum’s version of a Chicken Fricassee (affectionately known as Chicken Custard) is delicious and simple. In Bangkok, it was slightly more difficult because of the ingredients, but I persevered and was rewarded.
It’s essentially a combination of cheese, cream, chicken and asparagus over rice, topped with paprika. The challenges I faced were in the purchase of [...]

I hope everyone had a good Valentine’s.
Mint and I went to Nathorn Seafood, and had a great meal together. Regular readers may recall it was also the place we took her family for our “engagement” dinner. I looove the pineapple rice (fried rice baked in a pineapply shell with pineapple, prawns and ham) and there [...]

Planning for the American trip is going well.
So far, I have paid for the booth, I have my flights on the correct days, I have organized the car hire, I have paid for the hotel in Salt Lake. So, I’m well on my way.
The blog continues to evolve. Bek asked if it were possible to [...]

Dad helpfully offered some advice:
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.
The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest, and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to [...]
