Loaning money to friends

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 29 Nov 18

I like to help my friends out when they need money, but this month has been money out but no money coming back. I think I am going to learn to use the word "NO" in the future.

Healthy Breakfast Drink

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 28 Nov 18

I am usually pretty healthy. It has to be luck because very few things I do are health geared. This morning I am having Pita bread which I stuffed with cream cheese...so tasty! Anyway, a little while ago, Lady Boss (owner of...

Another Ouch

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 28 Nov 18

Hmmm, my computer had a senior moment!!!

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 26 Nov 18

Yesterday or the day before, one of you great members told me of a few good paysites. One of them started with a "t" and the other with a "v". Now I am armed with an old fashioned pen and paper so I will not lose them again!...

Nasty but short storm!

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 24 Nov 18

As I have witnessed so many times here in Thailand, a beautiful sunny day can easily turn into a thunderstorm in a matter of minutes! But also at night, the rains come down with no or little warning. About two nights ago, a...

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 20 Aug 18

Right now my home smells very lemony. I am making Tom Kha Gai which is a chicken soup with lots of lemony ingredients such as galangal, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, and a few other things that I can not pronounce. In an hour...

Bamboo in the jungle!

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 14 Aug 18

Actually, this picture is not in the jungle but in a nearby vacant lot. Some bamboo plants started to grow a few weeks ago and somebody decided to chop them down. I guess he should uprooted them as well as they are springing...

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 11 Aug 18

When I went out this morning for coffee, I noticed (after I removed the lid) something new cooking in the big pot she usually makes rice soup in. I asked her what it was and she told me baby palm tree. She gave me a piece and it...

Red Cabbage

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 11 Aug 18

They (whoever they may be) say that red cabbage is more healthy than green. So this morning I boiled some red with pork sausage and a large amount of apple cider vinegar. Healthy or not, it tastes good!

After a long time of not doing much real cooking, I got the bug again! This week I seemed to buy a ton of stuff - single gas cooker, toaster oven, pots and pans and other assorted stuff! So today, I made a batch of macaroni in a...

Breakfast Noodles

Richard @Paradon (2063) • Pattaya, Thailand 30 Jul 18

This dish is served at room temperature. Skinny rice noodles with a few bits of carrot, cabbage, shrimp, and cilantro. It has a bit of sweetness to it but I don't know what from. Anyway, only about 80 cents US$!
