OK, so the title's kind of random, but so is the content of this post. This was just an item I saw on an English translation of a menu in a restaurant, and thought you might enjoy it as much as I did. Only $2.50! Outrageous, by Cambodian standards, but I suppose human meat might be a little more expensive than your typical chicken or pork. :-)

The real reason I'm writing right now is to let you know that I have the latest set of photos up on my Google page, all captioned and ready to go, so check them out if you want. In the meantime, here's a quick introduction for each album that will help them make a little more sense.

Random fun in Phnom Penh: Self-explanatory. Includes water fights with the host sisters, teaching them how to ride bike, piano lessons, and our MCC Thanksgiving dinner.

The most random wedding in the world: Indeed. An Australian woman I met randomly at church one Sunday told me a friend of hers was going to be a bridesmaid at a wedding for a man from Nigeria and a woman from Azerbaijan. Since they had only been in Cambodia for three weeks, they needed more guests for their wedding. So I was invited. Awesome.

MCC work and play in Prey Veng: Most of us working with MCC Cambodia are in Phnom Penh, but there are five more working in Prey Veng, one of the provinces. We had our monthly team meeting at the Prey Veng office this time, and five of us stayed a little longer for a night of listening to Christmas music and making chicken corn chowder, exploring the town, sleeping three to a bed under a mosquito net, and taking an ill-fated bike ride along the rice paddies.

Cambodian Mexican Christmas party: You may remember a picture from awhile ago of me cooking Mexican food for some MCC coworkers. Word got back to Lauren's host mom that it was pretty tasty, so when their small group started planning its annual Christmas party, she asked Lauren if I could make Mexican food to serve. No problem, sounds like fun. Wait a minute, do they even know what Mexican food is? What if nobody likes it? THIRTY people?! Don't worry, there will be Khmer food too, and they'll be good sports about trying new things. Fast-forward to the week before. Find out there will be 60 people, not 30. And there will be no other food. And we were supposed to make a sample plate so they could decide if they liked it. Somehow that message got lost along the communication lines. And could we make a list of how many kilos of each ingredient we need to buy? And a budget of how much it will cost? And maybe a Khmer dessert with beans, in case nobody likes the food? Potential disasters galore. Miraculously enough, the day was a success, with only a big pot of leftover arroz con leche to take care of. I've got that one covered.
