Mey-Yii survives at home on a diet of white rice and grilled meats mostly because these are the easiest foods her grandma can prepare.
Tomato Curry With Fried Okra 🍛
Our new place has terrible lighting, so I didn't even try to take artsy photos of this meal, and besides I already shared the recipe on Hive a few years ago. Our new family friend Mey-Yii hasn't been blessed with a variety of foods in her life, and because of the meat and rice diet her grandma lives on, Mey-Yii views vegetables with a suspicious eye.
As you can see in the thumbnail, obviously the meal was a hit with this sweet little girl. When she saw me cutting the okra, I asked her if she'd eat it with us, and she said no, but then changed her mind after the okra was dipped in besan and spices, then deep-fried. I saw her nibbling on the fried okra before I got the tomato curry on the table, and as a cook, this is the most rewarding gift of all.
The Morning Pre-Commute Rituals 🪞
There are mornings when Mey-Yii arrives before we've woken up, and I have to assume these are the days when she either missed dinner the night before and/or had no breakfast, but most often the latter. If my daughters are at peace with each other, Srey-Yuu will help Monkey-B with her hair in the mornings.
Monkey-B watches big sister with skeptic satisfaction, and Srey-Yuu works as fast as possible to get the unpleasant task over as soon as possible. The mutual love is so thick that you could cut it with a knife.
Another Meal, Another Mey-Yii Appearance 🍜
On this morning Mey-Yii was hungry so we gave her a bowl of mushroom noodles before piling in the tuk-tuk. It was a pleasant surprise for her, and I'm learning to read her face quite easily because she won't always say when she's hungry or not feeling well.
A Full Circle ♻️
I've been parking on abandoned land and setting up a mobile office in my tuk-tuk while the girls are in school. This move saves me $2.50 a day in diesel, and even though it's extremely uncomfortable, it's the smart decision. I only have to make the roundtrip once like this, but 4 hours crammed in the tuk-tuk trying to Hive in contorted positions is not enjoyable. Anyhow, I bring the girls home and Mey-Yii stays until dark, then we repeat the process.
