Living here I find I get bored quickly with food, not only Thai/Asian but also Farang food. I'm by no means a chef but these are now my staple make-at-home recipes that keep me happy. -home made sauerkraut -gravlax -salmon wrapped with Parma ham -hot pot, I use lamb chops instead of shanks -english muffins -piccalilli -pickled eggs -cream of mushroom soup, the thicker and creamier the better -home made butter from cream -big batch of Welsh rarebit, I freeze muffin size portions and microwave on toast This is weeks experiment will be Jamaican patties  Any suggestions I can add to my list. |

Ahh baby food cc!
I swear by my daughter being fed kow tom with salmon in it. Heaps of verges in there also and a bit less liquid so it's more of a thick stew. I eat it myself actually, very nice and great for bubs.

Tandoori that's a great suggestion, yoghurt and tandoori spice as the marinade correct ? I need to stay away from the 3 pieces of naan bread and I'd be fine heheheheh make your own Tandoori paste: 50g salt 50g coriander seeds 50g chili flakes 50g garlic 50g mustard 50g ginger 50g curry powder 50g fennel seeds 50g cumin 50g paprika powder blend all together and add 100g yoghurt and 20g lime juice marinate your meat at least 5-6 hours |

I eat it myself actually, very nice and great for bubs. how old is your daughter...all depends on the age... my lil' boy is now almost 4 month old and the basic recipe is: 2/5 vegetable(pumpkin,carrot,zucchini,broccoli,corn...) 1/5 starch(potato,sweet potato,rice) 1/5 fruit(banana,apple,papaya,cantaloupe,mango) 1/5 protein(chicken or pork;no fish=too young) just covered with water and quickly boiled until soft than 2 scoops powder milk added and blended until smooth and he is  |

Cook it seperate or in the sauerkraut? ok mate there a many ways to cook it... one of my favorite ways is: cut the skin of the ham cross wise marinated with a mixture of dark soy sauce,ginger,maple syrup and beer(blend all together) and let it rest for 12 h than take a baking tray and place the sauerkraut on and a generous portion of pork or duck fat place the ham on top and glace again preheat your oven to 140 C put all together in the oven and glaze the ham ever 40 min again and turn the sauerkraut(it should be golden brown) depends on size of the ham it should be ready in 3-4h(as a general rule 1.5kg ham=1h) |

If you've got a decent fresh market near you, ask them if they can do the cut, but it will be pork hock straight off the pig and you'll have to cure it yourself or whatever they do with them. Villa and TOPS had both imported (NZ/Aus resp.) frozen Lamb Shanks and Pork Hocks but neither were that good or cheap. I've found the fresh counter at Foodland seems to have knowledgeable staff in general. |
