Bloody Supermarkets!
July 24, 2007 3:24 PMI went grocery shopping the other day and the total bill came to…1,118.12 baht! I nearly fainted when I heard how much it was for the 11 items I bought! What is the world coming to???
Well okay, maybe I shouldn’t have bought that block of cheese for 210.50 baht…and come to think of it, I guess I didn’t really NEED that imported instant yakisoba for 99 baht. But I really couldn’t resist the Japanese soup mix for 71 baht/box, especially since it was on 50% discount! (And there are 3 packets to a box so that roughly averages 20+baht each…not bad for a bowl of soup.) So…3 boxes of that, and…*examines receipt* what is this I bought for 137.75 baht??? Oh, the salmon sashimi…yes, now I remember…the pack of sashimi came without wasabi or shoyu, just pieces of fresh salmon on a bed of lettuce. And if you wanted wasabi and shoyu with your fish, it was 3 baht extra per packet. What the hell…??? How can you sell sashimi without the sauce?!? At least give the customers a packet of each and if they want more, then sell the extra ones! *sigh* Supermarkets nowadays are so money-hungry it’s not funny. And I’m still mad about that box of lasagna that set me back 175 baht from bloody Homework! I swear, I’m never eating anything from that place again! A tiny piece of lasagna for 175 baht and it wasn’t even good! *fumes*
*Eyes receipt* Wait a minute…what’s this for 142 baht?? OH MY GOODNESS, they charged me full price for one of the Japanese soup mix! Okay, now I am REALLY mad! I GOT CHEATED BY EMPORIUM!!!

Writer's Block Season
July 19, 2007 8:43 PMI haven’t been in the mood to update this blog for what seems like ages. I’ve lost my inspiration to blog somewhere along the Bangkok culinary scene. And I’ve been eating less, losing my appetite and even fancy food doesn’t cheer me up as much as it used to. I think I’m coming down with something…or maybe because it’s Writer’s Block Season.
Seems like a lot of people I know have stopped blogging as well, if only temporarily. I really hope something will come along in the near future to spark my interest in food blogging again. For now, I’m just gonna go find a hammer to break this wall in my head so the creative juices can get flowing again.

Thank you for reading Jup’s Pintoh. I know I haven’t been consistent in writing recently (you can blame that on writer’s block), but I will try my best to overcome this great wall with my willpower.
And now, on to the celebration!
Happy Birthday, Jup’s Pintoh!
