tko Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) New Shabu/Moo Kata cooker. It has a removable shabu pot and grill surface. Plus separate temperatures for each. The old one was a single large, heavy unit that was a pain to clean. It had a single temperature setting so liquid had to be maintained in the shabu pot even when we were done with it and just grilling.

boydeste Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) The smog in Bkk today was off the charts, so instead of my usual park walk, I wondered around Terminal 21. Not had ice cream for a long time, so a Banana split was in order in Swensen's. Edited February 17, 2022 by boydeste 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a Kaspas in town that opened a year or two ago. They do a similar menu. Proper rare treat though as the calories count is bloody scary 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was super sweet too with lots of sauce under the ice cream. Edited February 17, 2022 by boydeste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Penevil Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I made zuppa toscana (Tuscan soup) in two versions: traditional (Italian sausage, potatoes, bacon, mushrooms, onion, baby spinach and shaved Parmesan cheese) for myself ... and then substituted baked zucchini for the sausage for my niece. She doesn't like Italian sausage. I also made eggplant Parmesan, but it's hard to see the eggplant under the tomato sauce. I also has minced onion as well as mozzarella and shaved Parmesan cheeses. Unfortunately, it didn't photograph well. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to cut the eggplant properly and salt it, lay it out on paper towels for a while. I think improves the texture and flavor of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dusted the slices of eggplant with salt and let them sit for an hour, then rinsed off the salt and patted them dry with paper towel. The slices were lightly coated with flour and fried in hot sunflower oil for a minute on each side to make them crispy. They went into the baking dish in layers, with each layer topped with tomato sauce and the pieces of cheeses. I baked it for 20 minutes under foil, then another 20 without the foil.

Been in the Pattaya one a few times and the Siem Reap one a couple of times. Whenever I flew back into either DM or SUV I would stay at BS Apartment, a cheap charlie place near Zeer, to meet up with whichever wife I was married to at the time. The market was always a welcome return to Thai food but the Swenson's in Zeer in the morning was bloody excellent before heading out East or North....... depending on which wife I was married to at the time! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
