View from our balcony of an evening. Never tire of our golden view.
I don’t think our rather special oven has featured on this blog before. It is a little different from our oven in the UK. Oven options in Yangon are fairly limited and very expensive, but Ant found this one last year at a junk yard. Apparently it used to belong to the British Embassy. Probably back in the 1980s… it is very ancient. For $100 we have an over that mostly works, although the function which limits the temperature does not work, so it can get unbelievably hot – good for pizza. The temperature gauge doesn’t work, so we have to use a thermometer if we want to have any idea what it is, and the oven shelves and grill are a miss match of things they could find/ weld together at the scrap yard…
Here it is in action when we made onion marmalade last weekend. And yes I did slice 3kg of shallots, and yes that did take a long time (2 episodes of Downton Abbey Series 3 I believe). The result is very pleasing. You can’t get a decent chutney in Yangon (outside of our apartment that is).
Being patriotic at the Ozzie club, watching Murray win Wimbledon with some Pimms and strawberries and cream ice-cream. Beards are in fashion again in Yangon it would seem.
