Old Knives Tale

Tonight I am trying my hand at the real McCoy Cambodian curry. The Cambodian curry is superb - much much milder than a good Thai green or red, but very tasty. Lina made a great one - and I'm afraid that my first try at copying may end up ... just a little deficient.

I like a good knife. With 25kg precious luggage, I dedicated 1kg to my trusty cook's knife. Unhappily, this superior piece of steel had a tumble from the kitchen bench - and the blade shattered into two. End of knife?? This is Cambodia! Lina trotted off to the local welding boys and behold - a nice little welding bead, a bit of a grind-back - and the knife lives on!!


Me and my trusty two-made-one-piece and the beginnings of a curry creation
