Even the locals are surprised

Yeah, how many times have ya heard that about the weather. So it is here in BKK. Clouds, everywhere and then rain too! Season is suuposed to come to an end this month but just keeps hangin on. Bummer for me. Keeps me in doors a lot.
In case you have forgotten my regular routine. After a quick call with my mom (8:45 am BKK time > 7:45 pm Lethbridge time) I usually click around on the internetz for awhile and then head downstairs to the pool. Out for lunch streetside and then off for a little walk perhaps. Although the exploring is dropped off lately, seen alot and don't want to see too much without Deeds. (Will just have to go back and see it again when she wants too!) So pretty much nothing.
Oh and of course shopping!
Yeah I pretty much do all the shopping. We are trying to eat in 3 times a week at least. Big salad takes care of one night guaranteed. After that is up to me to create. And it ain't gonna be Thai food cause the people on the street cook better than me and do it a lot cheaper!! And besides, I haven't found a Thai market yet. Hopefully I can locate one close to our new apartment. If I can buy more local stuff I might be able to cook some Thai based dishes.
(Regarding the apartment no news yet, so we wait. No golf as a result of the wait. We are running out of stuff cause we thought 2 weeks, three tops. It has now  been four weeks. We actually arrived here in BKK 4 weeks ago today!)

We try to eat in three times a week even though it is hard to cook with limited utensils, kinda restricts the things you can cook. Also we don't have stuff. Simpple stuff like salt and pepper! So you have to shop to get the right stuff to put together a meal. Watch how this goes.................
I bought a bag of elaichi, looks a bit like fusili only smaller, and they attached a can of Prego sauce as a promotion of some sort. Great! Now at back at the apartment I pop the holy trinity into one of the two pots we have (diced carrots, celery, onion) let simmer for 5 minutes and then pour the sauce over top and let bubble. You all know how to make spag sauce I'm sure. In addition I have a small bag of green asparagus, it is very very thin, chopped into small pieces and dropped into the sauce for about 5 minutes before serving.
A romaine salad with some Paul Newmans own caesar dressing and a loaf of french bread.
We have found a delightful Australian cabernet called the Little Penguin. Voila. Dinner.
Don't ya wish you were here!!!

The little red haired girl! She sent me a note yesterday and all is forgiven, hopefully on both sides. Here is the story, even the ugly parts (she's a Leafs fan). Diane had in fact recieved an email from Jenny commenting about the blog and that she was loving it. My darling wife just forgot to send it to me. Oooops!
That's Jenny there on the right. The princess looking one. All is right in the universe.

So the price that I had to pay for calling Jenny out on an internationally famous blog was a plague upon my house. Well not actually she just made some reference to the fact that the Leafs have won the cup this year, already. And being a Habs fan that would put me all in a flutter.
Actually, no, not at all. I can think of a whole number of teams, well a bunch or is it a couple, well actually one team that I definitely put in front of the Laughs on the list. The hated B's
So I am OK with the fact they won the cup already. Especially since I am not in the country to see all the celebrating and vandalism on Yonge St. It's disgraceful.

What with all of this meandering I forgot to mention that today was a decent weather day. I was out at the pool at 10 am, stayed to near 1. Done nothing the rest of the day, except went shopping and writing this blog and cooking dinner. Hehehe.
