'Everything that was in the fridge chopped up and cooked together'
This is how, when asked, a handsome gentleman named his recipe.

It really should be called Thai Surprise or JP's Thai Extravaganza but instead this is what came out as it's title - I kinda like it although it would be very long to write on a recipe card for those cute little boxes.

A close competitor to the 'naked chef' in terms of charisma on screen and vigor in the chopping department -the talent and handiwork in the kitchen was equally entertaining. You just have to minus the Brit accent add a kiwi one - change the hair to dark and add more rugged good looks and there you have your Kiwi Jamie O! There was even some singing into a 1970s karaoke microphone which Jamie has never done before...which does give a slight edge.

I was watching on the web cam, kind of like watching the food network, but fuzzier and the sound breaks in and out - so had to guess what was happening when the screen went into pixellated blocks and squint a little at times. A new way of watching live cooking.

Thx J for letting me into your kitchen!
