As if things couldn't get any worse for in Suriname, now it seems there is no propane on the market and very little produce to purchase for cooking even if there was propane to be had.
😤 Everything In Short Supply
The last few months we've had frequent water outages, fruit and vegetable shortages, and also propane shortages. On the bright side though, there's no need to cook vegetables that don't exist with water you don't have. No problem for Monkey-B though, who will gladly eat raw longbeans all day long, sometimes while giving the stink-eye 👀.
Neither of us are strangers to going old school and starting a fire to make a meal, but it's hard when you have to spend so much time cooking and foraging. It leaves less and less time for earning money, which is what it will take to get us out of this whole mess.
Between homeschooling the kids and dealing with our immigration case, I help my wife and oldest daughter edit their Hive blogs and manage their crypto portfolios, cook a little, and also do all chores that require a distant trip, like this morning's Wester Union run. It's almost always past 6pm when I finally get a chance to sit down and think about what I'll post each day, hardly the best time for creativity.
I guess creativity is also in short supply now that I think of it. Well, the day was almost over when I found myself with a bit of free-time, so I walked down to the chicken coop kitchen where @sreypov was starting a fire to boil some drinking water, which is surely going to taste like "roasted water" instead of "boiled water."
The chicken coop kitchen is surrounded by the smell of death and feces, but hygiene is not a priority because it's only where the landlord cooks food for his dogs. While my wife and I looked at our "roasted water" fire, we felt brief nostalgia for all the tuk-tuk camping adventures we've done in Cambodia.
Not to be left out of any action, Srey-Yuu came down to investigate if we were having more fun in our location than she was in hers. She's at the age where she doesn't like to let me take pictures of her, so I shouted her name and caught her off-guard with the above gem.
I took this photo just to let my wife this is my hot content for the day, and she won't be posting about the "roasted water" fire. We have cheeky playful fights when we both stumble upon the same posting idea at the same time, but it's all in good fun, and it keeps our sense of humor fresh.
There is Monkey-B in the above photo, whom I only needed to shout "pose for a picture" in Cambodian, and instant results were produced.
Monkey-B is sensitive to smells even though her own deadly farts don't seem to fit into that equation. The stinch of chicken poop was a bit overwhelming for her, so she gave the nose a tight pinch while hanging out with us for a few minutes. Sorry I've got no super-duper content, the day was a bit rushed, but I still wanted to share a little bit of today with you all.
