A few weeks ago a group of us went shopping at the market. Why? Because we were to make the FLO kids’ meals the next day.

The menu? Egg scramble with lots of veggies and a baguette for breakfast (and some fruit, I think).

Lunch: hot dog with ketchup, homemade chips, and some fruit. (It didn’t satisfy them for long; they were all ravenous by dinnertime.)

Dinner: spaghetti Bolonaise. Now this one was a hit, and there was plenty for second helpings.

And now for a tour of what it’s like to shop at the local’s market in Phnom Penh; yes, thank goodness we had a local who was the one who really did the shopping.

No explanation needed.

Those are eggs.

That’s about $33 for 300 eggs.

Don’t try this at home.

That should do me for a bit.

They were moving.

And not just because she was stirring them.

Ze market.

Ze transaction.

Yep, those buggers’ll burn your socks off.

It looked so pretty to me.

Have we gotten everything?  . . . This dragon fruit is yummy!

Ze market take 2.

That’s our stuff on the cart.

And in the car. Next stop: FLO.

Next . . . the cooking for the kids . . .
