We recently scored a haul of plants, fruits, veggies, and herbs when my Cambodian in-laws returned to finish renovating the cabin.
Morning Glory Picker 🌿
My Cambodian brother-in-law and uncle-in-law have returned from rice re-planting in the Pursat countryside, and with them they brought a bunch of goodies. Srey-Yuu picked the yellow leaves from the morning glory to prepare it for tomorrow's meal.
While she was picking leaves, I told her to look at the camera and pause, but she refused. I then made a stupid joke of some kind, I honestly can't remember what I said, but it invoked laughter, giving me the opportunity to shoot a natural in-the-moment pic. In the background is our new family friend, conveniently aged in between our daughters, and therefore a good playmate for both.
Enough Noni For Fermenting 🏺
The guys also brought some noni fruit, valuable to us, but worthless to most Cambodians who only use the leaves in a few traditional curries and soups. We ferment the fruit in jars and strain away the fruit after a few weeks. Noni is magical, you only need to wash them and throw them in jar, nature will do the rest.
Garden Prepping 👩🌾
We've got one area of our property convenient for gardening. It has good enough soil, but it's also been used as a dump and trash burning site, no work gets done without picking out copious amounts of trash in the process. There was already some sweet potatoes, sugarcane, and pea eggplants growing here, but we still need to get some other things going.
There are some other areas of our property where sawtooth coriander grows, aka culantro. While working on this little patch, my wife noticed this lone plant growing. It's basically a weed and needs little love, but I find its taste superior to regular coriander. I'm not sure if the plants are scientifically related, but the taste is quite similar, except that sawtooth coriander's flavor doesn't get weaker the longer it gets cooked.
I believe this to be our only sugarcane bunch on the property. It's not a healthy plant, but we're content to leave it be and see if it will grow a bit more before it gets chopped into cubes and turned into snacks.
The Struggle Is Real 🍍
Monkey-B always struggles to open the tin of pineapple biscuits. There is no tool perfect for the job, and it either takes a lot of patience or Hulk-like strength to crack this snack safe.
