On Saturday, I went with the girls from my Bible study group to a cooking class. We learned to make a couple Cambodian dishes. YUMMY.
They started by taking us to the market and showing us what everything was. I never knew there were so many kinds of mint and herbs. Then we learned to make spring rolls.
(3 different types of eggplant.)
(Making the filling for inside the spring rolls.)
That was followed by banana salad and fish amok...two popular Cambodian dishes. It was tasty... and I really enjoy pounding all the spices together with my pestle and mortar. However, if you are ever working with chilies...KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM YOUR EYES. I accidentally touched mine and it burned.
(Beth, myself and Caroline and our chopped banana flower).
(My banana salad once it was complete.)
(The ladies pounding their spices to make fish amok.)
All in all, it was a fun day. Its fun to take a day and learn about the culture and just enjoy being with the friends that God has blessed us with.

Beca that's amazing!!! Your banana salad looks like you could've ordered it from a posh restaurant! Way to go!
Those are the biggest mortar and pestles I've ever seen...
Your pictures look awesome! This is fun to keep in contact with friends and family.
