Sour Curry with cactus and green papaya

Thanks Sis, We love to eat good food. When I was earning more than now. We liked to go to a nice restaurant to eat. Our favourite restaurant is quite expensive. We don't have kids so that time we still can afford to eat there one or twice a week. Hardly, you saw me around the kitchen. She was in charge of cooking. I work from home now. I earn less, Our marriage gains more. We are quite happy with the income we have. We still can enjoy our oversea holiday. We just have to live on a budget that's all. In order to live on the budget, we try to eat at home and stop going out at night with friends. When you have less activity to do in the evening, we start to enjoy cooking even more. I cook good Thai food that I like to eat. She cook her food and Western food for me. We invite close friends over to our dinner. we go over to there house. It have been like this since I quit my full time job. Live is much better this way. However, I eat more that is not good for me

You know that, Right? I can not grow water loving vegetables. That is also one reason why I have to cook with what I can grow aroud my house. Then, I chop and change the recipe to suit my plantable veggies.

My mom always said when I asked her, why she did not cook the way Nana cooked. She told me that , the way she did was not available for Nana to use back then, if Nana had what my mom had , She will did the same as my mom. For example, my grandma grated coconut by hand, my mom used food processer! my grandma always dried meat or fish untill really dry ,my mom did not , she put half dried products in a freezer instead, she said it is taste better. My mom tried to cook traditional Thai cuisine with latest technology available. She migh put those idea into my head while, I was with her. That is why, I like to think out of the square when in come to Thai cooking. Beside, I don't really know how to cook the traditional Thai cuisine. What I make is what I like to eat, I like thick sour curry and the curry go well with sweet taste then I put sweet potatoes to make it thick and sweet with out adding any sugar. The cactus is sour then it goes well with all the sour food!! I sometimes put sweet potatoes in my red curry to reduce my coconut milk used,

The candle light is too hot Sis, We might do it in winter !! Try my way of eating yoghurt, and tell me what do you think of it!

I try to blog the yoghurt things today. Many people did that already in their own way. I show you how I did. The pizza and its sauce, I have to ask my missus. I write the whole blog again when she make them next time!
