An Idea Factory

It is never as simple as it could be.

Ideas are just that.  Until one makes a concious decision to get started. But even then it is a question of jumping through hoops, if you can find them. This is something that has already taken close on twenty years to get started and I doubt I will ever get there. Much like the lotus pond I started digging in Nong Prue.

Country cooking

What is recognised worldwide as Thai cuisine has little or no connection to what I have come to understand as Thai country food. The point at which it all began.

The most amazing meals cooked over a single pan fire pot, rustled up with little more than a pestle and mortar. Crisp fresh vegetables,  dipping sauces and those four pot condiment sets that accommpany every meal in every street kitchen. Not to forget the help yourself iced water.

Food eaten the way it should be.

 

 

The system

Everying in the UK is automated. You are expected to have a card to get a rail card, buy bus tickets and to check out at the supermarket. But opening a bank account in the UK is not easy without a permanent address.
