Ridge monkey as an ex-pat in Thailand.
Yes being sad I transported out monkey to Thailand.
No visa or tests needed !
Today Farmers Husband Omlette.
Parboil potatoes pumpkin and cauliflower.
Fry some onion in the monkey.
Add the vegetables and fry, add herbs etc
Then add an egg and milk mixture.
Cook with the lid closed and turnover after a few minutes and continue cooking.
Ps we used our charcoal "bucket BBQ" so care needed that it was not too hot.
Ps loads of Monkeys here...especially in LopBuri !

I’ve been looking at this Gordon.
Cobb Pro BBQ/Oven Set
The Cobb Pro BBQ grills (meats, chicken, vegetables, fish etc.), fries (eggs, meat, fish etc.), bakes (bread, cakes, pizza etc.), roasts (whole chickens and joints of beef, lamb pork, etc.), boils (stews, pasta, curries etc.) and smokes (fish, meats, vegetables etc.). Cobb cooking is healthy...www.gasproducts.co.uk
What more cooking equipment for the motorhome garage

Focaccia Bread
Ingredients250g strong bread flour , plus extra for dusting
4g dried fast action yeast
1 tsp fine sea salt
2.5 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for the tin and to serve 40ml
1 tsp flaky sea salt
¼ small bunch of rosemary , sprigs picked
Method
STEP 1
Tip the flour into a large mixing bowl. Mix the yeast into one side of the flour, and the fine salt into the other side. Then mix everything together, this initial seperation prevents the salt from killing the yeast.
STEP 2
Make a well in the middle of the flour and add 2 tbsp oil and 350-400ml lukewarm water, adding it gradually until you have a slightly sticky dough (you may not need all the water). Sprinkle the work surface with flour and tip the dough onto it, scraping around the sides of the bowl. Knead for 5-10 mins until your dough is soft and less sticky. Put the dough into a clean bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to prove for 1 hr until doubled in size.
STEP 3
Oil a rectangle, shallow tin (25 x 35cm). Tip the dough onto the work surface, then stretch it to fill the tin. Cover with a tea towel and leave to prove for another 35-45 mins.
STEP 4
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Press your fingers into the dough to make dimples. Mix together 1½ tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp water and the flaky salt and drizzle over the bread. Push sprigs of rosemary into the dimples in the dough.
STEP 5
Bake for 20 mins until golden. Whilst the bread is still hot, drizzle over 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Cut into squares and serve warm or cold with extra olive oil, if you like.
.
Step 3
change to place in the monkey and close.
Yes leave to prove again and it will expand to fill the monkey nicely.
Step 4 /5 Cook on a low heat turning and checking but yes about 20 mins

1 Oil the monkey.
I used a ready mix plus some Fruit and the mix was fairly stiff.
Fill monkey about 3/4 and resist the temptation to open and look until both sides have been cooked for 10 mins or so.
Loads of other stove top recipes which should work well indeed better than in a frying pan as the monkey has a good oven effect.
