Yup! Theirs is pretty basic so no faucet outside and now shower
inside. It fascinates me with the fun creativity.

It's ok. Some try to trim and do not do it right. Causes
mis-attribution.

In a funny bit, Enterprise (a Star Trek runoff) has Vulcan's 'not touch
their food'. Tpal uses chopsticks ... several times.

In the future, everyone will eat with chopsticks. It's trendy to eat Cheetos
with chopsticks. Why? So you don't get all that orange crap on your fingers!

Heck yeah, you're right about that. Eating with your hands puts you in
direct contact with the food you eat. Using a fork or chopstick separates
you from your food - they are the condoms of the food world.

I was at a restaurant where you ate with your hands. Afterwards, they passed
around a basin and poured water on your hands to clean them. Since we were
sitting/laying on cushions, I fell into a slumber soon afterwards but was
awakened with a splash of orange blossom water. The experience was
dreamlike.

And many people still do just that.

Case in point: To eat a fried chicken drumstick.
- I use my hands.
- Chopsticks would be a fail.
- Even using knife and fork would be so wrong.

I wasnt talking of drumsticks and burgers, but of curries, et cetera,
wherein one would think forks and spoons would be the €œbest€� utensil. You
should try it sometime.

Why sure that's going to happen. It's happening already. You're just pretending to be living in the 1990's. I guess things were simpler back then but I don't have the luxury to live in the past. That's the breaks.

I need a vertical storage system that can be rotated to present the stuff that I need when I need it. I got a toaster oven, and air fryer, a rotisserie, and a Vitamix, that's in need of storage and easy accessibility.

I need a vertical storage system that can be rotated to present the stuff
that I need when I need it. I got a toaster oven, and air fryer, a
rotisserie, and a Vitamix, that's in need of storage and easy accessibility.

Actually all you need is a basement... a place to store all the
kitchen stuff you rarely use so as to free up kitchen space, (99% of
the time there're only the two of us so we don't need kitchen cabinets
packed with dishes, cups, glassware, and lots of other stuff to feed
an armada. Even though we buy lots of canned goods by the case when
on sale there's no point in stuffing them all in the kitchen when
there's lots of shelving in the basement... especially true for space
hogging paper goods. We keep the big cat litter pan in the basement
so we go down there at least twice a day, it's no biggie to remember
to bring stuff down and bring stuff up... growing up in a two story
house everyone learned quickly to never traverse the stairs in either
direction empty handed.
We have a huge attic but it's a lot more difficult to store stuff
there, firstly it's not heated, secondly to get to the attic a car
needs to pull out of the garage so the drop down stairs can be
utililized and then all needs to be reversed, so we store nothing in
the attic... only one who goes up there is the A/C service tech.
Anything we need to store that can endure freezing temps is much
easier to store in the barn or gardening shed, and we go out there
every day during winter anyway to bring water for the feral cats, they
have heated bowls.
Hardly a day goes by here that someone doesn't bitch about not enough
storage space so I don't want to hear about how basements are not
needed.

Despite a large Chinese population in Thailand, many Thai people don't
use chopsticks.

Correct...I've eaten Thai for 35 years now (admittedly in the US), but at Thai restos chopsticks are not "SOP"...they use western cutlery, primarily spoons and forks...

Some years bak, there was a dinner theater in Las Vegas (and I think

utensils, just beef ribs and such.

I wish we had stuff like that but we don't. Next time I'm on the mainland, this will come to pass.

I don't care for thigh unless it's female... 'bout the only Oriental

prefer chopsticks. For dinner tonight I ate left over take out from

can't come close to Brooklyn Chinks from the '50s. Sorry but I ain't
into PC fakery, if yoose Chinese you're a Chink, Japanese you're a

I'm a small eater too - mostly, I'll watch other people eating food.

Here's what I made for my wife's dinner at work. That stuff that looks like steak is actually fish. To the right of that is some scallop poke. That bright yellow material in the center is Japanese pickled radish - takuan.

Thailand is a big place and I only saw small parts of it. The places I
was at, chopsticks were automatic and other cutlery may be there or can
be asked for.

Perhaps more away from where I was, it is different?

Looks like meal for 3 to me! Could be the angle though.

On the rice, is that white sesame seed on some sort of seaweed? The
only other think I can think of it looking like is mustard flowers
steamed then bedded on the rice. Both would be good.

For me that would be 2 meals. For most people, it would be a single meal. For others, that's half a meal. The stuff on the rice is furikake.

I am aware of Furikake. Is it a sesame and seaweed version?

I think it is but mostly, I just grab a bottle of whatever is available. I'm not too picky. When I was a kid, we didn't eat much furikake. We had nori tsukudani. It's great stuff!
