› My Thai Food Obsession! Homemade Wok, Thai Sauces, Shopping & Kitchen Chaos | The EVERFLOW
Iam still alive. Hard to believe right? Hello my pumpkins! How are you all? I’m ok. Been dragging myself out and go to town to not isolate myself because of my head.
I still havent needed to have internship so im working on the assignments at home. I asked my teacher to send me the next one so we’ll see.

I have lately become obsessed with Thai food. Ever since Elin and I ate last time at the restaurant. I dont remember what the name of the dishes was (read here) but luckily I took picture of it (as usually when we eat out) and I did a chatgpt search just to try help identify what dish it was but I wasn’t sure of it to be honest so I started to ask what sauces they use in Thai food. Oyster sauce – that sounded scary! I have never had that (Oysters) but if they use it in the food, I had to buy! It also said fish sauce but I draw the line there. No thank you!
I have been googling, chatgpt-ing, looked around, spoken to a chef I play game with and hunting. I decided to try make my own food and ohmygod. I am obsessed!
I make with beef, meat and chicken! And alot of vegetables! Ofcourse – no rice or anything. Tried with one dish and it was an instantly no. Why? I can eat it with the food on restaurants but when I tried at home, no. I don’t know why but rice didn’t/ dont match to the dishes.
Honestly, I’m getting more interested in flavors and want to try different kind of Thai food. I don’t know which one is good though. I am very picky when it comes to food.
Super expensive! This four things cost me around $40!
What was most expensive was the meat! Oh my god! $25 dollars for a small package of thin slices. Crazy!
Me looking at the price: EXCUSE ME?!
The beef: You wanted Thai food, didn’t you?
My wallet: We need to talk. 😂
I’m constantly looking for new to add in my wok mix. So far I have only used like cabbage, bell peppers, onions, and bamboo plus meat or chicken.
Bath time, relaxing and just.. breathe (and sneeze)
First time I made it, I did with beef and I was treating myself a bath due to pain and hunting for ingredients the whole day. When I finally taste it.. oh it was so good! Super spicy but delicious. I noticed that I sneeze if I eat too strong food apparently. Every time I have eaten the thaifood I sneeze like a crazy person! It is only when I eat the one i have made. Not restaurants!
Apparently my homemade Thai food comes with a bonus feature: sneezing.
Restaurant Thai food? No problem.
My own cooking? ACHOO! ACHOO! ACHOO!
I don’t know what I’m doing differently, but apparently my wok has chosen violence. 😂
But I can honestly say – it was way more tasty than the restaurants. Hard to believe actually but now I can save alot of money by making my own Thai food and not spend $$$ . Sure the things were expensive (the meat) but I have put in freezer so I can make four more dishes! HAPPY MIMA!
I wonder how long this obsession will be. But hey, its kinda “healthy” so why not?
I want to try all kinds of works, mixes etc when it comes to the food but im terrified that I wont like it.
What’s your favorite Thai dish and should i try make it or any other ? Do you have a favorite wok combination?
Oh by the way, if you can’t find the can opener – use a screwdriver and a hammer. A challenge but it worked! Ofcourse I washed the bamboo and even boiled it before adding it to the wok.
Yes.. i used a screwdriver, hammer and a grippy thing to twist the lid open. -
› Life Lately | A Little EverFlow Update From Home
A little look at everyday life, social training, motherhood, getting around on crutches, and dealing with an injured foot.
Hello my spicy pumpkins! 🖤
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
How are you all doing today? I hope you all have an amazing day / evening!
I thought I should post a mixed blog post with a bit of what I’ve been doing lately when I haven’t been blogging. Mostly photos though. A picture say more than a thousand words – isn’t that the saying?
E and I have been social training a couple of times — at the same time as we’ve been grocery shopping, but these times have been in town. Not at home. So it has been a lot of bus rides and walking. Shopping, spending time together, laughs, happiness but of course tears and sadness. Nothing special has happened with the sadness, but you can’t always have bright, colorful and happy days.
Alone on the bus. Take which ever the seat you want. 
Telling him to slow down and go next to me is impossible.
Trying to keep up with the same speed as E when walking — that must look interesting and funny. Screaming blue crutches, a heffalump (me) dressed in black and probably with a backpack as usual. Even the thought of that makes me laugh! Like… what!?Do you know the boy who copies and making fun of his mom when walking? Little boy!
Thief. Always steal my extra legs. Haha!
I thought I’d share some photos from the time. I’m currently in bed, resting my foot, neck and stomach. Stomach pain after today’s visit to the hospital.
Update on my foot: 8/10 pain right now.Ice Cream Date
Random pics from the time.
Broken adapter.. I accidentally dropped it on the floor. Now I know how an adapter for phonecharger looks like inside. 
I need these as tattoos. -
› 10 Days Later: Still Fighting the Pain After Breaking My Foot
Hey guys!
So sorry that I haven’t been updating EverFlow like I normally do (texts etc. Like this post), but hopefully that will change soon. No… it will change soon! I also apologize for the lack of communication from my side. I see all your comments and love 🖤 I will answer them as soon as I can! I also want to apologize for not sharing photos yet from my trip but they will come. Be prepared!
How are you guys? Happy new month! (Yeah, I know… we’re already three days into it. 😂)I hope you’re all doing fantastic. Thriving, growing and, most importantly, being happy!
My main focus lately has actually been my foot and my knee. It hurts so much, but because I’m stubborn I’ve already started walking on my foot again. Do I suffer because of it? Absolutely. Am I supposed to be resting with my foot up? Yep. But is there really time for that? Not really. Housework, mom life… life doesn’t exactly hit the pause button.
Today I have actually challenged myself. Not a small challenge… a big, exhausting one.
Normally it takes me about five minutes to walk to the store and another five minutes back. Today? Twenty minutes each way. Forty minutes in total… and let me tell you, I do not need a gym membership while I’m on these crutches. 😂 That is one thing for sure!
The sweat was definitely sweating, I can assure you. Imagine me jumping around on crutches while E walks at the speed of a cheetah. It was basically Snail vs. Cheetah.
It’s been 10 days now and my foot still hurts. Like I said above… and no, I still haven’t been given any painkillers, no matter how many times I’ve asked.
So to try and ease the pain a little, I bought a pair of compression socks because the area around my toes is getting absolutely destroyed from walking the way I do with the boot.
It actually helped a little… but it also squeezed parts of my foot I didn’t even know existed. 😂 So, of course… more pain. Those socks are TIGHT. Like… “is my blood circulation still working?” tight. I wore one for two days, though. I even fell asleep with it on the first night.
Yep… that’s pretty much my life right now.
I’m just hoping, wishing and praying these next few weeks fly by, because I’m honestly getting pretty tired of being in pain.
