Bangkok House, part 2


Another place to try if you like Thai and are staying in Myrtle Beach. It's off Kings Highway as well and is called Bangkok House. Don't expect great service. Just be patient, the food is worth it. And be ready to order everything you want when the owner comes to you. She's likely not to come back.

Here's what I had:
-Ginger tofu w/ ginger roots, mushrooms, green onions, carrots & jalapenos

Steel-cut oats


A make-before breakfast you can pop in the microwave and heat up before you rush out the door. I made 4 servings of steel-cut oats (1 cup) on the stove for the week, divided it up, added a little milk, berries and nuts in the morning before reheating. Steel-cut oats have a little crunch compared to old-fashioned oats. And reheat very well in the microwave. Don't try to make them in the microwave. It doesn't work.

Ingredients:
-1/4 c steel-cut oats
-blueberries
-1/4 c pecans
-skim milk
-cinnamon
