Flower power
B Magazine, Normita Thongtham, Published on 28/06/2015
» I have eaten several kinds of flowers in my lifetime. You probably did not know that the blossoms of bitter melon (Momordica charantia), also known as bitter gourd and balsam pear, or mara in Thai, and ridged luffa (Luffa acutangula), which Thais call buap, are edible.

Growing your just desserts
B Magazine, Normita Thongtham, Published on 15/12/2013
» I was visiting my daughter, Nalinee, in Phuket recently when she decided to make a dessert known as bua loy. It is made of sticky rice flour fashioned into tiny balls and cooked in coconut milk sweetened with sugar, then topped with coconut cream. The sticky rice balls are cooked when they float, hence the name, bua loy, which literally means ''floating lotus'' although they do not have the faintest resemblance to the flower of that name. Add whole eggs and it becomes bua loy khai wan.

Plants that do well up against the wall
B Magazine, Normita Thongtham, Published on 05/08/2012
» Pia Hutchinson has a long driveway with a wall alongside it and wants suggestions on what plants to grow on its bank. ''I had to cut three large trees because their roots damaged the old wall,'' she wrote. The plants should be tall enough to cover the wall alongside the bank, but their roots should not be so big as to damage the wall. I have philodendrons climbing my own wall, but to answer her question I took a walk around my neighbourhood to survey what other people planted along their driveways and along walls. I also made a mental note of the shrubs we have on the farm that would be just right, and thought of the height and shape of the plants I had seen at plant markets.
