I don't think she was oblivious just didn't think it important.

Beetroot dumplings with chicken in cream sauce with thyme. Plus salad.



"Grandma Helenas cutlet " With onion
and marjoram. New cabbage with tomato and dill. Mashed potatoes. The pork was roughly chopped and formed into a sort of meatball.

Last night at our new favourite Thai restaurant. Love you Long Thai. Began with chicken satay. Not traditional but very nice.


Then pork with green veggies and ginger and shallots sauce. Plus Pad Thai with chicken. We shared.




As it was spicy food day yesterday I got a serving of chilli to add to my dinner.


And a Sav Blanc to wash it all down.


One of the owners, a Thai lady, noticed that we had been a few times came over and had a chat with us. Was impressed that we had been to Thailand well over a 100 times.
