Thought I'd hit you with my colourful and yummy dinner photo first up before I wax lyrical of the soothing properties of devouring Thai food. Involving coconut cream of course.
Thai is my number one comfort food (even when I don't require comforting).
I will not fib...running low or heaven forbid running out of these basic ingredients results in a mini meltdown. The green curry paste has a zesty bite and helps clear out the old sinuses and the massaman paste is milder and super delish. Topped with snipped home-grown coriander.....mmmmm
Oh and must be consumed with the aid of a Splayd. Remember those retro utensils? Ours belonged to my parents. Purchased in the seventies.
Dead easy and probably the cheats way to cook Thai food but it will do me.
How about you...do you love love love lashings of coconut cream based recipes?
This is a first for RRC. I'm posting a department store fitting room iPhone photo. It's fun to see other bloggers' sharing fitting room reveals so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Yes I need some practice.
This little number is a cotton Esprit dress come long top over leggings that will come in handy when I go a travelling soon.
More to follow on that...
Do you find when planning a trip all of a sudden there is oodles of everyday stuff to hunt and gather eg. new underwear, toiletries, skincare etc. Mr redroses always reminds me that stuff can be purchased at ports of call but I prefer to be hyper-prepared.
Honestly the box was so pretty, forget about the skincare!
Now because I should be a good girl and wear supportive footwear due to an injury I will need to gather a pair of sensible clod hoppers or I will be in a sore and sorry state from walking and sight-seeing. Of course I've bought sensible shoes before but never been terribly happy with my choices so the quest for a orthopedic yet stylish (is it possible?) pair is imminent.
But certainly Not like this pair I spied recently in a thrift shop. Am guessing the same vintage as the Splayds.
Hilarious!!

A great excuse to go shopping I say! Pretty frock. Oh and that Thai looks delicious! A-M xx
ReplyDeleteA-M.. I didn't have the courage to show a hair roller pic so thought a fitting room shot would suffice!
ReplyDeleteHi Annie, You are going travelling soon - how exciting, and look forward to hearing about it. Spot on that one has to do that pre-travel shopping - I always do it too. New undies, small toiletries, decanting stuff into small containers. I even managed to bring in my lugguge under weight on my recent trip!
ReplyDeleteVery cute Esprit dress, and it looks like it will travel well.
Patricia.. I wonder if buying new undies stems from our upbringings, you know, when our mothers drummed into us the benefits of wearing fresh knickers in case we are carted of to hospital or get hit by a bus lol. Me too... A Decanting Afficionado.
ReplyDeleteAnnie, had to laugh at this one. After a lifetime of mother's advice, when I was in an accident and carted off to hospital early this year, what happened? The ambulance guys brought out HUGE shears (too big to call scissors) and cut my clothes off me!!! Chopped the bra up the centre, and cut up nice linen pants and shirt :-( Good to be alive, though :)
ReplyDeletePatricia.. Oh how true, what's an outfit compared to Life after all. A friend in emergency services tells me they don't give two hoots about what a patient is wearing unless it's getting in the way of treatment such as your predicament.
ReplyDeleteSara.. hello and thanks for commenting and following. I shall head over to check out your blog.
ReplyDeleteMy mom lovvvves thai curry. Where can I find your recipe for the curry?
