Our weekend was busy. On Saturday, my husband and I went to the next city to shop for few personal needed items, did our weekly grocery but before that, we worked (office stuff) a bit in the morning too. Sunday, we had to tend our garden infested by snails and slugs. All plants that we both several weeks ago had died so we, rather my husband (who did most of the garden work) had to pull out all the roots, weeds and also chopped over-growing stalks. I did the wash, cleaned the house, cut my father-in-law’s hair and cook a simple meal for us.
Both my husband and dad-in-law love spicy food so I made a simple Thai combination of Pad Thai, chicken satay and made my own sauce. If you’ll be interested for the recipes, here they are: pad thai recipe, chicken satay recipe and peanut satay sauce recipe.
My Pad Thai yesterday was a quick fix, but if you’ll click the recipe link above you’ll find a better version.
I hope you like them too.
Have a great week ahead, dear WS’ers!

I grew up in a family that loves to eat. My grandmother was the food matriarch in the family. She was the one who taught my mother, aunts and even my uncles to cook. How to cook good and tasty food. My grandmother did believe in those easy to prepare meals that come out of the box, or even frozen ingredients. Everything must be fresh. I remember as a young child and quite robust, my grandmother would always send me to the market to find her ingredients. You see I wasn’t afraid to hustle prices with stores owners and most of the time I was able to save some money because of that..that’s why I was the favorite to be sent to the market. I did not mind and even am thankful to this day because I have learned a lot fresh produce.
Well going back to good food, because of my grandma’s good taste, I kind of inherited it as well that when I became an adult and start to work in hotels, I begin to appreciate and acquire not only good tasting food but preparation as well. That’s why dining for me is quite important. Like if my husband and I are going out to dine , I would always request to go to restaurants that are known to serve quality food. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bit expensive as long as the food is worth it. Food that are prepared by trained chefs who take pride with what they do. I am always elated whenever I see a well designed plate. A work of art, in the form of food. I’m always in heaven whenever I taste food that really could make me forget even my name! Oh, that’s what I usually say when I taste something dreamy, that I could forget my own name.
I find such restaurants by also browsing the internet. It’s shame that we live in Europe, otherwise I would love to try this San Diego restaurant. Their website simply is amazing! the restaurant has awards, wonderful menu, and experienced chefs. Now I can’t stop dreaming about food!
Khao Phad Kung or Shrimp Fried Rice
Just a simple recipe I have posted on my foodblog and I thought of sharing the photo here. This usually happens when I have rice left overs. During my Thailand visit last year, I bought a Thai cook book which is all about fried rice and this is one recipe in the book.
If you wish to have the recipe, please just click THIS.
I miss Thailand! How I wish I’m there right at this moment and taste their wonderful food! Oh wait, maybe I should have said I Miss Thai FOOD! ha ha ha!
But seriously I miss the country so much that today I browsed the photos I’ve taken during our Thailand vacation last year. And just like the any foodie, I got stock looking at the wonderful photos of food I’ve taken, like..
