I was hoping that some one would know where to buy packaged dry Pinto Beans, my daughter is in Phuket and coming home next week. She could bring some home with her. I know Dons foods used to sell them but I think he closed the Phuket store.

Thank you in advance for the information.

Cheers

We were able to get by because we made the most part of our food at home.
Ham, Bacon, sausage ,Pickles, Fresh Cheese. bread, tortillas corn & flour, Mexican Chorizo, Carnitas, etc..

In making Greek yogurt , I noticed that the yogurt was thick and creamy, so I decided to try making some Queso Fresco.

Only 3 ingredients, 1/2 gallon of milk,  choice of (rennet-lime juice or vinegar) and salt to taste.
despite doing almost everything wrong the cheese still came out OK.

My 1st try there was no clean break "separation of curd and whey" I reheated the milk this time adding lime juice ,failed again.
Went back to the internet and look up you tube video re. How to make queso fresco. I saw that the milk was doing a slight boil,
re- heated  the milk to a slow rolling boil, added some more lime juice and at long last a clean break, I added chile, cilantro and green onion.

I recommend that if you are going to make some cheese, look up the videos on you tube (cheese making).

My doctor suggested I eat Yogurt, I tried it  and to my surprise I liked it.

I ran across an article about making my own yogurt in a Crockpot.

The following is the procedure I use.
*Turn your Crockpot to low and pour in a 1/2 gallon of milk.
* Heat it on low for 2 !/2 hours.
* Once your 2 1/2 hours have passed turn your Crockpot off and unplug it.
* Let the milk cool in the pot with the lid on for 3 hours.
* After 3 hours remove 2 cups of the warmed milk from the Crockpot and place it in a bowl.
  add 1/2 cup of store brought yogurt with live active cultures and mix very well.
* Pour the yogurt-milk back into the milk in the pot and whisk thoroughly.
* Place the cover back on the Crockpot and wrap the entire Crockpot in a thick bath towel, (I used 3)
* Let it culture overnight 8 to 12 hours
* In the morning store the yogurt in a covered container of your choice
* For the best results refrigerate for at least 8 hours before using

So simple and easy to make. I paid 78 baht for a half gallon of milk and 10 baht for the plain yogurt at Macro.

I ended up with 1/2 gallon of homemade, delicious,  inexpensive yogurt.

The yogurt will last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
You can make the firmer Greek yogurt by placing the yogurt in cheese cloth and allow it to drain for 8 hours in the fridge.

You also may add a sweetener and or your favorite fruit to the yogurt before eating it.
