second day, am i already bored wth this gig? NAH, just gettin' started.

today was actually all day breakfast day, don't-cha just love all day breakfast. i can smell the denny's grand slam and the international house's big ass stack from here.

today's lunch was supposed to be an easy and fast one, but i do this not just for myself, but also 3 others. and they be up-stairs and down the hall, so 3 out of 4 of these get packed-up, trekked-up and then assembled on premise. took an hour's time to produce and serve. i guess the years of catering off-site are paying off finally. i say finally, cuz not many of my former employers ever really came across with the dough for all that work and injun-nuity.

anyways what we gots is a 3-egg fluffy omelet, or is that omelette? i never could get that right. nor brocolli and recipei either. i guess the former is correct as the spellchecker in this flog's control panel is puttin' that dotted line under the later. they were stuffed with a saute of shrimp, leeks (yes again), bermuda onions, garlic, red capsicum peppers, tomato concasse, fresh thai basil and curly parsley. all set to sweat in extra-virgin olive oil and de-glazed with thai sherry. the shit costs about two dollars a bottle, can not be drunk, but works great in the pain, i use it for most dishes that need wine.

on the side was some great local thai bacon rashers, a baked potato grown in china and dressed with sour cream. whole wheat toast from the yamazaki bakery, and a cup of nestle's instant 3-in-1 coffee. disgustingly sweet and full of powdered creamer, but it goes down alright and cuts the bacon fat quite nicely.

the eggs here in thailand are not like those back home state-side. the yolks tend to be much more orange in color than the very yellow ones i grew up with in new england, organically grown, and they are tasting just great too. further, i have never seen bermudha onions in the average thai market, and they were actually priced quite cheaply.

the potatoes that are available have vastly improved since i first started cooking here 16 years ago. these were nice and starchy and had a great fluff to them. the bacon is belucky brand. cut just a tad thicker than most and always more meat than fat. and, it actually is packed in a wrapper that allows you to see the bacon.

the bread, as i said, came from the yamazaki dudes. a japanese style bakery that is all over town, and the world for that matter. most of there products are too sweet for me, but the whole wheat and the 7 grain are spot on. i always spread it with olive oil margarine now, tastes great and better for us all. it really does have the taste of olive oil. i used to mix whole butter and olive oil in the pan, thinking i was cheating the cholesterol thing, so now i actually can, or at least kid myself that i am.

missing, a surprisingly not too sweet danish from yamazki.

i'm now trying to figure out what to have tomorrow, but no idea, maybe tuna sandwiches, i do have three cans of nautilus chunk white tuna packed in water, just like my my mom taught me. NO TUNA IN OIL! and i always do what my mom says when i am in the kitchen, after all, she and her mom got me started on all this food insanity by feeding only the best home-cooked foods i ever had the pleasure to enjoy.
