Thailand. Nothing Better than a Home Cooked Meal

Well all is well at home. After eating from the roadside food stalls for the last few nights I was missing some home cooked food. No matter where you are in the world, there is nothing like eating food that is cooked at home in your own kitchen.

Noot is a great cook too. Man she can whip up some great meals. I said to her this afternoon that it would be nice to have a good home cooked meal tonight and went of to the park to exercise. The food from the roadside food stalls is really nice and very cheap so makes buying very convenient but it’s just not the same as a meal from home.

I was on my way home from the park which is 800 metres from home and when I came to the entrance to my Soi or street Noot and Ben were just in front of me and the basket on the motorbike filled with vegetables and herbs. She bought a heap of vegetables and also pork and chicken meat. There is enough food to last for 3 days I would say.

So I ran to Big C to get a few things and then returned home and just started the computer when I was told dinner was ready. It was a good feast fit for the King of the house.

It was stir fried pork with plenty of vegetables in a really nice sauce. There was also a clear soup with pork mince balls and more vegetables, and to top it all off a really nice omelet that had tomato and plenty of herbs in it and was delicious. Served with fluffy steamed rice and it was a great meal in all.

Noot so shy.

I really miss this sort of food as it’s really tasty and healthy too. We always sit on the floor on a straw mat. We have 2 tables but here in Isaan country it’s how people do things and I actually like it more than sitting at a table.

Noot and Ben.

The very nice and tasty dinner.

Miss Noot had no university today and was bored obviously as when I came home today the living room had been totally rearranged and cleaned spotless. I must say I actually like the living room a lot more now than before and looks like there is more room now.

Well that’s about all for updates of today and now I have to do a few lesson plans for my private students that I teach at home tomorrow. It’s 11:55pm and I have maybe an hours work to do so goodbye to all.
