Getting to work each day
So Shelby and I decided despite the fact that eating out can be fairly cheap here and the street food is delicious, we needed a different option. We committed to the creation of a hotel home and have hung up art work and decorated our room. This week the newest addition to this home is a rice cooker! So far our rice cooker creations have been:


• Rice and pineapple beef
• Rice and chicken with steamed veggies
• Yellow chicken curry
• BBQ pork steak with veggies and rice
• FUNFETTI cake (x2 because the first cake we brought to work for Den was given away to a family during deliveries so a second was needed)

The woman at the small corner store who does our laundry was so funny when we came in to buy coconut milk for the curry sauce. Us: "Is this coconut milk?"Woman: "Yes, you can't drink that." Us: "We know, we need it to make curry sauce."Woman : "You cook? Where are you staying?" Us: "Bou Savy"Woman: "They let you in the kitchen?"Us: "No. We bought a rice cooker."Woman: (laughing hysterically shaking her head) "Okay, you can buy it."

We hope to still create brownies, cheese cake, and probably a delicious Cambodian fish sauce and chicken The best food we have had has been street food. Short noodles with chicken and veggies ($1.50), beef on a stick ($1.00), marinated chicken with fish sauce ($1.25), pineapple smoothies. Street food I will not try: beetles, cow tongue, and intestines.
