A family adventure

Friday, March 03, 2006

This week we've been staying at home (Luc's house) until after lunch and then going for a potter about afterwards when its abit cooler. In the mornings Tim's been handwashing and playing with Forrest whilst I've (Catherine) been going to the food market with the house help "Da" and learning how to cook proper Khmer food. She's been pulling out all the stops, we cooked curry from scratch including pounding the lemongrass and spices for half an hour! Forrest is eating rice and meat better than ever. We had our first sweet sticky rice last night as a gift from our friend we met in Taize - it came packaged in a bamboo stem, yummy! Eden has mainly been rolling around in his cot/tent, sucking his toes, eating mashed banana and generally being very yummy too. Forrest has been learning to wave at the monks as they pass by, and he's very assertive at telling the khmers to go away when they poke and prod him in the market! We saw a real ox drawn cart and several horse and traps in town - now you don't get those in Phnom Penh!'
