It’s tough trying to be healthy all the time. Every now and then I succumb to magnum brownie ice-cream, donuts, scrumptious mud brownies with vanilla ice cream or any kind of spaghetti from pesto to carbonara. On weekends there are delicious buffets ranging from dim sum to Korean bbq to international buffets. Bangkok is a…

Summer is coming soon to Bangkok and already I am dreading the summer heat. Fortunately we have a few days of cool weather at the moment so it feels as if we are enjoying a short festive season. I love it, because it is a short reminder to enjoy the little things in life.…

Life goes on sitting and waiting for the flood. Lets talk about eggs today. A basic food staple that can give you energy during hard times are boiled eggs. You can survive on rice and boiled eggs (as long as you do not get bored of it). However, those with high cholesterol levels are often…
