Makro

Yes Urleft,I noticed Mate,but they are on the picture,just an observation.

Different kind of pepper, for example, it would be very labor intensive to make stuffed thai pepper.  While stuffed Jalapenos (cream cheese, cheddar, etc), can be awesome. 


However, most Jalapenos you get are pickled.  Try a fresh jalapeno for some real heat. 

I'll be glad to give you a pacakage of seeds  with the caveat you'll share the crop with me. 

Ok. Not this week, too busy, but I will definitely send you a PM next Monday. I doubt that we will need many Js! Still have 2 Kgs from last year.

Great, will look forward to it. 


I also have some Habenaro seeds.   And Cilantro (used in salsa (another goal of mine)). 

If you are interested, and have a lot of different seeds if you care to check them?

So changes in the Buriram Makro:

1.  They have you pay for beer (and I assume other Alcohol) on a single ticket, and then scan in the rest of your purchase.  Two receipts paid separately. 

2.  My TG was told today that starting on 1 Nov they will no longer provide the invoice printout, they are going to a regular type receipt.  I would assume just like for those that don't have a Makro card. 

I don't think Thai taxman will accept what you are saying on point no2               
re Point 1 ,in places such as Pattaya ALL alcohol EXCEPT for beer is already paid for seperatly

Paul are you stupid?  Don't you use a spell check?  Can't even spell separately (even when it is spelled correctly in the quote)?  Shame on you.   




Just returning the favor on your noting my spelling.  Careful when you berate someone's spelling, it means you had better be correct, especially when replying to a post of theirs.

I love it when Americans try and give grammar/spelling lessons.

It is rather like when they open their mouths - just wait, they will fcuk it up eventually! 

You will notice that I rarely (think this was the 2nd time) make an issue of spelling, especially since as you put it, I will screw up again. 

However, Nookie are I are best buds that enjoy one upping the other, The END is my favorite so far.  And as I said, was just returning the favor for him mentioning my spelling. 

BTW, am I the only one that can't get spell check to work on this forum? 

It is a damned poor mind indeed that can't think of at least two ways of spelling any word.

Soured cream is expensive when compared to regular cream. 34 baht for 150 ml compared to a very good half cream in Makro at about 90 baht for 900+ml

Why not make your own?  Cream and lemon/lime juice to taste. Hey presto!!!

A recipe on youtube says to use cultured buttermilk.  Is buttermilk available here?

Cream and lemon/lime juice is the easiest way.

However if you wish to use buttermilk the you must make that first.

Put some cram in a bowl an whisk it with an electric mixer. It will start to resemble whipping cream. Continue to mix and the cream will become sticky and will them firm up. This is butter. The liquid in the bottom of the bowl is buttermilk.

Hang on there, you must have at least 35% fat content to do that. So you go to Makro and buy 1litre of whipping cream (60%) for ฿110.- You get about 6 dl of buttermilk, and some nice butter. Ideally you would buy the 35% cream from BigC for ฿92.- per QUARTER litre. Alternatively you can mix water with milk, as per pancake recipes. .....

 MILK, Buttermilk (sour milk)    1 cup (240 ml)    1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar (white or cider) plus enough milk to make 1 cup (240 ml) (let stand 5-10 minutes)

1 cup (240 ml) plain or low fat yogurt

1 cup (240 ml) sour cream

1 cup (240 ml) water plus 1/4 cup buttermilk powder

1 cup (240 ml) milk plus 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar

Are you guys kidding ??

Sell some gold ... or whatever it takes ... to scrape together 34 baht.

Then go to Makro and buy 150ml sour cream.

Job done.

Agree, no one even cares when they are paying 60 Baht for a pie, or 70 Baht for a beer. What's the big deal with 34 Baht/150ml sour cream. 

[DeputyDavid]

The lockdown must be making everyone very bored.   

[Starman]

Sorry. I thought this forum was "expats helping expats".

Why pay more when you can pay less?

Also, my advice also helps when Makro are out of stock on sour cream. You can also make it to your own taste.

I personally find the Makro sour cream not sour enough.

[Beer Leo]

Thats why.

[Starman]

Went to Makro today. I took a photo for you Urleft.
