Home cookn

Reminder: as temperatures heat up food tends to spoil quicker. Spaghetti sauce, a kilo of fresh tomatoes with sirloin and coconut milk. . Not just for spaghetti, also great with rice or spuds. Probably half a dozen meals.  I do all my cooking in bulk and then freeze it for quick microwave meals.

Engine fire onboard Bangkok bound flight February 2018

Smoke was noticed from the engine shortly after takeoff from Sakon Nakhon Airport.  The aircraft returned safely to Sakon Nakhon. I was having a beer across the street from the runway, did not observe the plane landing, but heard the engine, which seemed louder than normal as the aircraft was reducing speed on the runway. Only airline mishap in the 15 years I've lived in SNO

Sakon FC does a last minute win

Chaiyaphum scored the first goal. Sakon Nakhon retaliated with their own goal fifteen minutes later.  It looked like a tie game. With four minutes added to the game, sakon Nakhon FC scored with just two minutes to spare.   After the second game of the season, Sakon FC stands in 8th place and could have been on sixth place had it not been for the two goals it allowed in the season opener.  Next game Sunday, Feb 25 at Nong Bua Pichai FC View album

Thai Baht continues to gain

Fifteen years ago today, 17 February, 2003, the day I arrived in Sakon Nakhon, the exchange rate was 43 Baht to the dollar.  Today it's 31 Baht to the dollar.  The magic pack up and go number for me is 27.

Clean your gutters

As previously mentioned, cold season ends.  There may be another cool day or two next week, otherwise overnight temperatures should remain in the low twenties (upper 68 to 72 fahrenheit). Possible chance of rain for a day or two next week. Haven't heard of any public Chinese New Year events, as had been the case for many years in the past.  It's a bit of a surprise to me since some efforts are underway to make Sakon  Nakhon a tourist destination.
