Most expats I meet don’t mind eating Thai food, but after a little while you crave something without rice, chilli or deep fried.
Well Lance, from N-Joy (click here to see where N-Joy is roughly on Phalochai Road) the expat bar has just started ordering a big range of different cuts of meats, bacon, sausages, burgers and so forth. It comes from a large provider down Bangkok way and I can tell you if excellent quality.
Very soon there will be an order form available for you to check off what you want, it is ordered if not in stock and in no time you can be chewing some good old expat food.
The other night I got some fat sausages, you can’t find decent sausages here in Ubon, well I never have. These snags were excellent. Not fatty and really delicious. It went with mashed potato and gravy. I cooked these at home the next day and it was an excellent feed.
So if you go to N-Joy or know where it is ask lance about the tucker you can order, you won’t be disappointed. I am looking forward to some decent bacon with runny eggs on toast and a couple of the fat snags. Now that is a breakfast.
Here in Ubon it has been bloody hot. We keep getting what I call false storms. Thunder and lighting all about the place, dark clouds that look like they are going to dump a truck load of water on us. But in the end it is all for show and not a drop of rain to be seen.
The humidity rises and rises, even Miss Noot is complaining about how hot it is. So I know it is hot as she hardly ever complains. She has even been retreating into the bedroom and starting the air conditioner on the pretence that Ja is hot.
I am really looking forward to the wet season and the torrential downpours; I just hope they come this month and not next month. But again after a few days I will be complaining of the rain. I am a hard man to please.

I've just discovered your blog, and I really like it - Great pictures and entertaining commentary. Thanks for this.
Please keep up the good work.
2010 The warmest year ever!
This why it is so HOT.
Climate change advocates will be buoyed by data which has emerged from the US today.
So far, 2010 is the warmest year ever recorded.
The temperature data comes from two separate sources - the National Climatic Data Center and Nasa, according to a report on USA Today.
The climate centre (NCDC) reports that the Earth's combined land and ocean average surface temperature from January-April was 56 degrees fahrenheit - which is 1.24 degrees above the 20th-century average.
El Nino - a periodic natural warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean - is partly to blame for the unusual warmth, the report says.
Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies also reports that 2010, so far, is the warmest out of 130 years. Both NCDC and Nasa use data that goes back to 1880.
thank you for the report. was in town a while back and followed your map and found the N JOY. A very Nice Place, and A good Buffet on Wed night. Larry
Michael, well I thought this year was bloody hot. That is a lot of information to back what all the advocates have been saying.
Climate change, I have to believe we are doing some damage with all the raping and pillaging of earth. The endless stream of pollutants sent into the air by all of our countries must have something to do with this all.
I hate to think what it will be like in 100 years or so after I am well and truly gone.
Thanks for the info.
Larry I am glad you enjoyed N-Joy, and the buffet is a ripper for 100 baht, and the locals are pretty good and don’t mind a chat. Thanks for dropping by.
