Today, we went to a Saturday brunch at Breizh Crepes on soi Suan Plu 8. It is a small stall in a nice little eating area with trees and outdoor tables in Village Suan Plu. There is a parking lot in Village Suan Plu that is apparently free for restaurant customers. (At least they didn’t…
Food: Artisanal burgers for dinner
Today, Praew and I made burgers for dinner. For those of you who don’t know already, we opened up a sandwich and burger restaurant downstairs at the office. So this wasn’t just dinner, it was research, too. I made a double-decker cheese burger with two patties of 50-50 mixed sirloin steak and beef shank ground…
Restaurant review: Mama Dolores
Yesterday, Praew and I had our weekly Wednesday lunch date at Mama Dolores “Old Time Pizzeria”. It is on Yen Akat Rd. across the street from Le Petit Zinc, which is a nice little French Cafe that Praew and I have been to a few times. We ate in an outdoor seating area that had…
Restaurant review: Avanti
Last night, Praew and I finally had the chance to try out Avanti for dinner. It is an Italian restaurant recommended by a friend of Praew’s that is within walking distance of Haba Kitchen, which I reviewed previously. Occasionally we go grocery shopping at the Villa Supermarket nearby there, and we take this street on…
Baking traditional poppy seed treats from Europe
Praew has been baking this weekend. I was craving something with poppy seeds and she delivered with two recipes she got off of the internet. The first one was poppy seed hamentaschen. My mother used to buy these from a local Jewish bakery (around the time of year when these are traditionally eaten) on her way…
Restaurant review: The 66 Cottage
Do you crave eating a really good slice of cake while sitting in a beautiful garden and sipping a cup of hot coffee? Praew has been wanting an excuse to swing by The 66 Cottage on Sukhumvit soi 66 because that was what she was hoping to find. And I can tell you… it was…
Orange chillis
After finishing our work on the electrical wiring of BaanMae today, Praew and I took a walk around the pond to check up on the progress of various projects and came across two nice chilli pepper plants that seem to have grown on their own from some plants that were planted nearby a number of…
Travel: eating in Chiang Mai
In my previous post, I mentioned the really nice boutique hotel we stayed at in Chiang Mai for one night. Since half of traveling for me is eating, I figure it is worth mentioning some of the very nice eateries we stopped off at. First, we ate at a place called “Artisan” just a few…
Eight eggs in one day
Our ten chickens were nice enough to give us eight eggs today. It required a little bit of improvising to come up with containers to carry them home. (These are actually the boxes our circuit breakers came in… but still have 4 eggs left.) One of them must have come last night after we left.Two…
Eggs, eggs and more eggs
More of the chickens are starting to lay, so we ended up with about 5 more eggs today alone. One broke trying to remove it from the coop. I gave two more away at work. And I took the last two home for dinner. Praew is coming home late today so K’Tanawat asked me if…
