No international commercial passenger flights will operate yet, because
--> No CIQ (Customs, Immigration, Quarantine) facilities, which are required for international operations due to damage at passenger terminal.
Don't expect international connectivity to Mandalay to resume any time soon.

Try it the other way next time? - looks like the folding in half and closing the two sides together might keep the lot intact π€π
Will try it myself when I am back across the border next - looks like I'll have a trip to Bangkok in the coming 2 weeks, bring on the 7-11 experiments!

All my years of doing one of the following two options:
- forking the pasta side over to the sauce side and having it splash over the edge
- spooning the sauce over to the pasta side and not getting all of the sauce
Now I see this π

Me too. Has been one of my fave dishes for many years
I brought an Indian recipe book with some photos to the pearl farm a while back, on a small island. I asked the Burmese cook to try and make the vegetable malai kofta, and she absolutely nailed it. Very similar look to these pics.

great chat with Kim & Kelley who were both at &-42 after the show, to my surprise at the bar, thanks to David & Joe for joining for a drink at Mobius that night, after saying goodnight to Charles when he headed off to bed (from memory they had to head back to the US the next day - LONG TRIP)

Hobart, Tasmania, Australia - 7th April 2007
My 1st time to see @pixiesofficial.bsky.social live, was delighted to meet #Pixies at T-42 waterfront bar after the gig (spotted Charles 1st)- I shouted a drink as thanks, but always regretted not asking for a photo. My highlight was GOUGE AWAY!

Aside from "Input, INPUT" which I still quote every now and then, as a kid in the eighties, Number Five also taught me all the synonyms for angry:
"Furious, livid, PERTURBED"

It was certainly true at one time, and its not THAT long ago. But that percentage has stuck and keeps getting pedalled out often

Your 'skeet' ? was a timely reminder to uninstall my recent VPN upgrades which weren't working when I left, and roll back to older versions that worked - before I head back home tomorrow
