Updates!

I am back from Cambodia. Flew back exactly a week ago. Siem Reap was hot, dry, but an eye-opening experience. Plus, the fried crickets were delicious, yum. Coming back was a culture shock - so much privilege, people taking things for granted.

Then, it's back to normal programming again. I need to plan... things, especially for two books. I ended up starting a new scarf, because this is how I plan: I knit. It's a meditative process where my mind lays out stuff while the needles move.

So, that's about it, small updates. :D

Ooo, fried crickets.
Word is, with population increasing, those guys are going to become an important source of protein for everyone. (Plus, unlike a chicken, everyone in a family of six can have a leg. :P )

Does their taste resemble anything else, or are they uniquely cricket-y?

To be honest, they tasted like deep fried crispy shrimp. The auntie who sold them fried them with chilli and curry leaves. :D

Actually, the legs are very small and have small spikes. :D

So dinner comes with its own little toothpicks attached? Cool. :)

[jolantru]

Kinda, but the kind that you can choke on if you are not careful. Most of the legs were very crispy... Just chew very carefully.

Welcome back! That sounds like a great trip.

Thank you. :D

It was. ;)
