Sweet and Sour Pork recipe

A recipe, not for those who like to eat healthily but for those who like to indulge. Admittedly you will get an (un)healthy and balanced dose of fats, carbohydrates and sugar with each serving, but I assure you that it is worthwhile!

Market Impressions - Aleppo Souq, Syria

Possibly one of the most lively and authentic experiences one can have in the Middle East would be that of visiting one of the bazaars, such as the Aleppo Souq (or Souk) in Syria.

Dramatic Turkish Pottery




It just occurred to me, that it seems that proper craftsmanship and meticulous works of patience are harder to come by nowadays. It is much easier to find mass produced items that have no identity.

Thai Pork with Bamboo | Pad Phet Muh Sei Noh Mai

Yesterday I got about to making one of my favourite dishes: Pad Phet Muh Sei Noh Mai or Thai pork with bamboo. Only I didn't use pork, I used chicken. It's a dish I like to make, firstly, because it is so spicy, and secondly, because by omitting the sugar and the rice, I can make it low-carb. It's also very easy to make. For a change, I also managed to take a photo of it - before the "devouring process" and the water drinking.... :D
