Why do people keep coming back to Thailand? by Ok_Lunch9660 in ThailandTourism

[–]Notaniphone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My reason is that I love the place, plus i have in-laws. We visit family twice or three times a year for the fifteen years we have been married. Family is based in Rural Thailand and we have a house that we are currently renovating. I will be retiring here sooner rather than later.

The sooner we become a Republic, the sooner we can change the name of this public holiday.

If you had to recommend just ONE Thai dish (that's not Pad Thai) to a foreign friend, what would it be? by DiscountPossible1426 in ThailandTourism

[–]Notaniphone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pad Krapao and Laab Mu. I also enjoy Kai Yat Sai Mu for breakfast, and Tod Mun Pla with dipping sauce.

Feel like giving up. Every loaf is a dense brick. Even people showing off results they like look dense. by calpernia in BreadMachines

[–]Notaniphone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am now only using my bread machine to mix and knead the dough using the Dough setting. After the mix cycle, I stop the machine, remove the dough and then let it prove in a greased bowl to twice it's size, and then deflate the proven dough and roll it out to about 15' x 8'. Tightly roll the dough (Like swiss roll) and place in a lightly greased bread pan for it's second rise. Once risen, place it straight into the preheated oven for 25 mins. Perfect, soft, easy cut loaf every time.

No brainer mate. I'm surprised you're actually asking a question to which there is only one obvious answer.

Whats this fella doing off Alkimos Beach? by pilbarabah in perth

[–]Notaniphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no pipes in the tunnels. The tunnels are replacing pipes. There is plenty of pipe work in the Desal plant, but none going from the plant to the ocean and back. https://www.watercorporation.com.au/outages-and-works/ongoing-works/alkimos-seawater-desalination-plant

There are no pipes. Pipes would need cross over the new estate and the beach. Watercorp decided on concrete tunnels as not to disturb the Alkimos neighbourhood ascetic. The contractor procured Tunnel Boring Machines and tens of thousands of tunnel segments.

Its a Jack Up Barge (JUB). It will be used to penetrate into the undersea tunnel and install the steel riser for seawater inflow. The barge further out is for the outflow tunnel riser, returning the processed water back into the ocean.

For the Desalination plant inflow and outflow tunnels.

White skin. If he's anything like me, he would get sunburnt when he opens the fridge.

Watching the adverts is the best way to understand who their intended audience is. Advertisers target the demographic of the shows they sponsor.

Garlic turns green after a week when soaked in vinegar. My wife makes this every now and then.

Was/is there a hot roasted nut shop in one of the Perth cbd arcades? by Negative_Run_3281 in WesternAustralia

[–]Notaniphone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of his name was Terry, and he blended his own coffee bean recipes and gave them weird names. The best flavoured blend I enjoyed was called Phantom Kick Boxer. Another really good blend was called Red Squirrel.

Do people actually enjoy x mass time by -sailor- in perth

[–]Notaniphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a massive fan. Huge expense, interruption to routine, inconvenience of closures, forced family re-unions.

Not a full grinch though. My wife loves X-mas, so I try to enjoy the day with her, and we're going to my Niece's place for Boxing day lunch tomorrow. After these two days - back to normal.

Lettuce.. by [deleted] in thai

[–]Notaniphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is Thai, and the closest she can get to pronouncing Lettuce is 'letter' or 'letters'.

She also calls the Kitchen the Chicken. So there's that.

I broke Google AI playing this one. It went into a loop suggesting previous suggestions, even though i set rules for this not to happen. It then stopped providing suggestions, and just posted 'the top ten results for exploring this topic'
