Do you want Thai for dinner? Yep. So let's go to Thailand.

A few months ago we decided that if we had any chance to retain status by end of April then a much greater effort was needed. We wanted Thai for dinner. So let's go to Thailand and take advantage of the DSC QBR offer and go. Back in October.

Flights booked, and as usual for Adelaidians required a stop in Sydney. We could have done the flights in a day starting in Adelaide at 6am but hell no. So it was an overnighter in Sydney and a more desirable departure at 10.20am to Bangkok then on to Koh Samui. Seemed to be the best weather spot in March.

Of course one starts with a Neil Perry Pie Floater. It doesn't float. It sits on a delicious gravy jus. Pie was nice. A party pie but the green stuff got moved away.



Mr P didn't eat much prior. The flight was due to depart at 5.10pm and we assumed dinner. Delayed. Left at 5.45. Nup.Afternoon tea. A cheese plate or - a chicken and mushroom pie

So despite a late arrival at Rydges we had to get dinner which was ok. We declined the room upgrade offer. The breakfast ($76!) and just went to sleep.

Next morning up bright and shiny and off to International. I do like that walk across to the terminal. Into F check in, then through security. The woman guarding the priority entrance was a bit slack and she missed a large family group skipping General and into the priority queue. And of course they were completely disorganised. The security woman guarding the actual belt was furious with the first woman and that family group absolutely refused to do what security wanted them to do. Go queue in General. So the delay for priority queue was growing just while these people were grabbing all the bins.

Finally through and on a mission to get some of this stuff. My Brothers and now MrPs favourite gin. Super exy. The Blue is only available at international airports. We bought 2 litres of the 'basic'. Sent my brother a jealousy picture and of course his request was for us to buy two for him on the way back.



Into Sydney F and not having eaten it was brekky time. And it was delicious.

What is the green stuff on the pie?

Mushy pies. A pie floater is a pie in mushy peas but Neil Perry did his thing on that theme. SA QP speciality.
