‘The bearded orchid’,finally see it bloom,we got it about 8 months ago,what a burst of flower and color.It’s the time of year and the garden of orchids is a site..
mangoe,rose apples,custard apples another seasonal freebie….
other than that,another weekend gone,usual suspects on saturday,but many of the guys’ out of town.I still havew this Canadian tourist staying,funny,he was a bit lost and asked at my neighbors’ house,with pamflet in hand,where my place was and Craig gave him a pamflet of another place down the road,count on ya’!!
Anyhow,Noi’s children finally came after us being here a year,real nice,I’d say 16&15,boy and girl,will have photos later,kinda on the shy side,first time out of the country to the country…..A few months gone now,but 3 months ago we recieved large snails from her family through many hands and had tried some and the bag has been hanging out side since.Well,yesterday she decided to make me up a plate,I’m game….
so here she’s steamed them and now taking them out of their shells,cuts them up and with chilis(of course)cilantro,lime and onions makes this lovely salad for lunch
the middle plate and my fav,spicy mango salad with sticky rice,somethin’ is up!!!!!
Finally a shot of the ‘Q’ in action
the rib was well marinated then beer basted on a low heat with rosemary potatoes and a coleslaw with capers,ooooh…

Hi Stuart.
OK it was embarrassing to find out that Tina was a bloke having a laugh, but no harm done, eh? Why does your neighbour pretend to be a woman?? Don’t answer that. Did you fall for him too??? We had some laughs though.
Just checked the last thread. What a jerk that Dutchman is. Hope you lock him out. I thought he was funny for a while, but now I think he meant it. Never mind.
Those are nice flowers, by the way. Can’t believe you eat snails, though. Thought only French people did that. Yugh! Must need a strong sauce. Did you save me some pig ribs?

Stuart, I must apologise while the medication is working. Grunt is very rude. He is my alternate personality. He has multiple personality syndrome, although I haven’t got it. That can be confusing. We are separate, but I have to apologise when he does these things. He has other personalities, but none of them is called Hiram, Tina or Craig. That might be another personality group. I suspect that Hiram is the main one. There are times when the injections and we can see whether and talk to you as well as we can talk to the other ones. Grunt is apologise and I am Fangio. We are both Fangio, he is not me and we can both. Now we pills and so on to injections bye bye and thanks for the flowers, they were really nice. Take care, be careful, Jerry wants to be you and he will take over and over and out. louise is too. Be care. They are yellow and pills
