Rocket stove vs 3 rocks?
stove requires maintenance
constant feeding
perfect for branches etc from pruning that are stripped of leaves for compost then dried.
portable so can bring under cover if it rains
3 rocks works too
but better for larger wood
burns more at once
gets wet
done some soul searching
realizing I'm a 'cheap charlie'
rarely do I go to coffee shops anymore when I used to spend 300 baht a day on black coffee
now I make my own at home
probably I'm a 'hi-so' cheap charlie as I buy Arabica Thai beans🫤
1 kilo $600 baht
50 cups?
3 cups/day
In my Cheap Charlie Chronicles
Aloe Vera Plant
bought 1 plant in Bangkok 14 years ago
now 10+ plants
easy to take care of
grew them on my small condo deck 4 yrs
best skin treatment
bug bites
burns
cuts
itchy skin
I get bug bites every day
& many plants itchy ie. bamboo leaves
I was thinking of leaving my wife
because she is constantly at the Wat
& I'm home alone with the chicks
then she made Duck Red Curry
with grapes
spicy
I am weak🫤
Something primal in making fire
Wife says Thai would never spend 1200 baht on a rocket stove as they would just use 3 rocks
we are so different🫤
How to be a cheap charlie in Thailand?
eat what is local & in season
had a large Papaya to eat that we grew
made the coconut cream cheese sauce
& added our passion fruit
-dinner🫤
could never find Vanilla extract locally in nearest city
would order online
then I adaped Thai style
we already grew the Pandan

no idea but I never buy Vanilla anymore
Coconut milk infused with Pandan for a Coconut cream cheese sauce
I learned to pee sitting down
having 2 daughters & a wife
I tried blaming the dog
it was less complicated to sit & pee🫤
bought a Rocket stove for 1200 baht on Lazada
supposed to be delivered by July 19 - received yesterday
works great I can have a nite time camp fire
while burning my dried prunings
from various fruit trees,
then the wood ashes go into the compost pile
Best comedic line I ever heard was
Archie asking Edith (in the 'All in the Family' tv show')
"what's for Dinner"
Edith responds "Beef Tongue"
Archie rants "I don't want anything out of a Cow's mouth"
Edith asks "what you want then"
Archie says 'Eggs"
