@Stitchawl
I would say congrats on your new family member, but it sounds like I would be out of line. BOb |

It's sort of like being asked to take care of a puppy for a weekend. By Sunday night you hate to give 'em back. That's prolly the case with my son. He'll probably want to keep the baby. I know his mother made me keep him, no matter how many ice floes I wanted to set him adrift on. Good thing too... He actually turned into a nice fellow! But not everybody gets that lucky. Stitchawl |

When people ask why we only have one child, I always reply, "Because God only gives us what we can handle."

So, I sort of gave up on the homemade mayo (kept forgetting to buy the right cooking oil - I'll get back to it one day, though), and now I'm on a mission to perfect Mark Bittman's No-Knead Bread.
Anyone ever try it? If I ever produce a loaf that comes out pretty, I'll post a picture! |

Tamerind Shrimp (Goong Pad Makam)
500gm Shrimp (can be made with boneless chicken breasts too, cut bite-size) Fried Shallots for topping (slice thin and sloooowly deep fry until golden brown. Drain) Make paste with: Garlic - 4 cloves Thai Prik Chilies - 2 Cilantro roots - 3 Shallots - 1/2 cup Chicken Broth - 1 cup Tamarind Paste - 3 or 4 TBSP Nam Pla (fish sauce) - 1.5 TBSP Palm sugar - 3 TBSP (Use dark brown sugar if you can't find palm sugar. Do NOT use white sugar.) Peel and devein shrimp (or cut up chicken) Mash together paste ingredients (Mortar and pestle is best but food processor works) Fry shrimp lightly in oil. Remove shrimp. Add paste to cooled oil and fry until fragrant. Add chicken broth, Tamarind paste, nam pla, and sugar. Boil to reduce until thick, stirring often. Add shrimp back in and cook two minutes. Serve over rice with fried shallots as topping. Stitchawl |
