When you live in such a remote location like my family, there is plenty of time to spend in the kitchen snacking and cooking, and this week's highlights were sesame donuts and sweet potato fries.
Monkey-B Takes On Story Problems 🧠
Even though there are no English education options near us, I do my best to keep Monkey-B's English education going. The iOS Khan Academy app is a lifesaver, and she's now into 3rd Grade Prep curriculum, not far behind for her age level if she were a student in the USA.
Sesame-Palm Sugar Donuts 🍩
Fast forward a day and it's sesame and palm sugar-glazed donuts for all, including our family friend Mey-Yii, someone who spends more time here with us than at her Grandma's house. She's not a fan of vegetables yet, but there is no kid that will turn away from homemade donuts.
To keep things delicious, later on in the day or or a totally different day, we made sweet potato fries as well. I couldn't even get a clear picture because their arms were moving so fast.
I like natural photos, so often times I don't mention that I'm snapping shots, and pretend to be reading something on my phone. @srey-yuu caught me in the act, and you can see her look of teenage scorn and fury.
Unplanned Sleepover 🛏️
Last night we got a call from Mey-Yii's grandma that she'd gone to the casino and wouldn't be back until late, and had locked Mey-Yii out of the house. We knew this meant she'd probably be sleeping at our house for the first time, and that's exactly what happened. At 8pm the kids were getting sleepy so we put them all to bed, and we let Mey-Yii borrow some school clothes from Monkey-B in the morning.
We made sure Mey-Yii had some breakfast, and then I took the usual 7 kids to school in the tuk-tuk. Mey-Yii stopped by her house before leaving for school and found her Grandma crying, and we can only assume she lost a massive amount of money gambling last night. There are a lot of vices in this village, but alcohol and gambling at the nearby casino cause the most damage.
