This morning, I cooked us mi cha with fried tofu, beansprouts and an egg. Khmer breakfasts are traditionally substantial in order to see the workers through the morning's physical labour. We burned fewer calories than the average farmhand, as we passed a largely sedentary day.
In the evening, we had dinner outside with our next-door neighbour, her friend from Thailand, and the cat. Our neighbour cooked us a meal, like herself, from everywhere and nowhere in particular. Chunky carrots and ginger sautéed in olive oil until tender, omelette, and shirazi - a simple Persian salad of diced cucumber, tomato, and onion. Good food, good company and good weather meant that we sat out until late talking.
