Britboy Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 37 minutes ago, Thai Spice said: @Britboy, now that you have a condo, couldn't you consider preparing your own breakfast ? For me breakfast (07.00 am) is THE meal I like to be alone, in a quiete environment. Even when I lived / worked in BKK, my ex in the beginning said "I explain to the maid how to prepare your breakfast" . No way dear, just tell her to stay in her quarters, at 06.00 I dont want her around the table. Same here, breakfast is alone on my terrass, the Miss joins a bit later. Then again, I dont eat a full British.... but 2 eggs, a few slices of bacon in the pan is easy and fast. I get what you're saying TS, but I enjoy the walk and nice to be waited on, providing the breakfast I get is what I enjoy. Frankly I can't be arsed to keep the stock in the condo - it's a fag to get the shopping in. I don't like the condo stinking of fried bacon either. I get a table to myself, have as many coffees as I feel like, sit quietly and read the Bangkok Post, do the sudoku and crossword, then meander back to start work. If I had someone to cook it for me, fine, I'd enjoy looking out over the bay while I do all of the above. One thing against it is the strong wind that tends to blow straight into my balcony. That's really nice as a cooling factor, but the Bangkok Post has been known to go flying over onto next doors balcony, the condo of which is unoccupied . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love reading the news (especially a real paper) with my tea in the AM. Nice when living in a condo that there are places unoccupied next to you, especially above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooking cream is heavier and takes heat very well, it seem to be called "heavy cream" in US The regular cream 35%, is ligther and I would.use it with fruit for example. https://www.kitchenstories.com/en/stories/from-creme-fraiche-to-sour-cream-whats-the-difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy cream yes. Like cream is nice with fruit. I usually make good with whole milk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality meat with a little salt. Enjoy the meat flavor. Really good and simple. Asparagus. My favorite veggie. I usually cook (steam) lightly and sometimes ad a bit of lemon juice. Always buttered.

galenkia Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Pizza out the freezer for lunch. Quite a soft base for a frozen pizza as they are usually a bit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a soft base for a frozen pizza as they are usually a bit hard. I've given up on frozen pizza. Must have eaten a million of them over the years. A MOD pizza place has opened up near me. I go once a week. Perfect great pizza for $8. So I decided to not buy any frozen. Pappa Murphy's also near by but you have to cook those in your own oven and takes much longer. MOD is better anyway.

Unless you collect it yourself,having a pizza delivered is expensive in the UK.So i only eat takeaway pizza rarely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever come across a brand called "Home Run Pizza" it is the only frozen I have ever truly enjoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one pictured is Chicago Town.They are cheap and cheerful but you can't complain for what they cost. Never heard of that one before so will have a look next time.

There has been some activity in the one below, but very infrequently. Hope it stays that way . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
