Just wait a day or two. The temp is going to climb! Then those pigs will be smoked and crispy!

I have one of those old George Foreman grills that used to be advertised on TV.

The amount of fat that runs out of belly strips is hard to believe.

The way the Thais bbq pork is a bit too rare for me.

I had some of that thinly sliced hard smoked pork the other day.

This is amazing stuff, not only for a snack but it can be used in cooking for anything you put ham or bacon in with twice the flavour.

Brilliant addition to fried rice, especially if you use brown rice like I do.

The brown rice has a lot more flavour than white and needs other strong flavours added to it.

I need a regular supply, anyone seen it around?

Wife says she gets the dried, smoked, slightly sweet pork at the market between night bazaar and Central. Thinly sliced regular pork at the main market near old clock.

Nice green (French) beans in the Royal Project shop today.

20B for a big bag of fresh crisp ones.

Plenty there.

Whenever we travel to Chiang Rai we always buy beans and other vegies from the Royal Project shop. They have good quality and good value. Have the esky for the trip home.

I got a piece of home cured bacon from the deli behind Da Vinci's yesterday, very nicely flavored.

I want to start my own home garden, but I can't find bacon seeds anywhere..!?

I'm sure if you ask around enough and really try, you will find some. Just don't give up on your dream!

Macaroni cheese made with the Da Vinci Deli's blue cheese that they make themselves.

Just a white sauce with a teaspoon of English mustard then add the cheese until you can almost stand the spoon up in it.

Add a few veggies of choice if you're feeling healthy, I just threw a handful of frozen peas into the pasta before I drained it.

Oh boy, nearly ripe.

Sitting by the pond, feeding the fish, watching my dog swim, feeling a gentle breeze out of the south and being able to actually see the hillsides in front of me are all very very good things.

After a lovely morning spent pond side watching my dog swimming with her fish, I decided to keep the good times rolling by going for a mountain bike ride. Unfortunately by the time we got our harry child clean enough to return indoors, it was nearly 2 o’clock.

This time of year, that is a little late to be starting out on a three hour ride but when I left there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. When I stopped to top up my bottle at 17 km, things were still good but starting to change.

Before long the sun was gone and my wife was calling to make sure I was being safe. I assured her I was moving away from the approaching storm and things still looked good where I was. There has been some hail recently along with strong winds so I understood her concern.

I picked up the pace but finally lost the race around the 35 km mark where the wind nearly knocked me off my bike. I probably could have made it a bit further but I knew I was about to enter open fields again very soon and there would be no shelter, so I pulled into a big sheltered storage area.

Before long the owner showed up, also getting out of the weather, and I apologized for encroaching on his space but he was very gracious, bringing out a couple of stools to sit on and some cold water to drink. We sat and talked while the rains came and went. We were speaking different regional dialects but I think we both found it interesting. The look on his face was priceless when he found out we were not the same age and I was a good ten years older than him.

It was a wet, dirty and chilly ride home from there as it was still raining a bit. Even with headwinds and sloppy conditions late in the ride, I still matched the 21.7 km/h pace of my ride a few days earlier. Not a bad day, all things considered.
