Fresh tomatoes are so much better, especially soft and juicy ones. The tomatoes here are always rock hard and 50% of em' green, I guess that is the only to transport them very roughly without damage. It takes some magic to make the tomatoes here edible, but we'll have our by this time next year when we've built up some good soil.
Thanks for not minding the bad lighting and non photogenic kitchen. I almost gave up on posting recipes because of this situation and also because I never got decent post payouts for the effort. This tomato chutney post has reinvigorated me to share some recipes a little more often.
Haha, well you know Indiana and India are pretty close, at least alphabetically. Every time I meet a Cambodian they want to know which part of the USA I'm from, Washington, New York, California, or Texas? These are the only 4 areas of the USA that exist in Cambodians' view, and when I saw Indiana, they hear India, and it takes a long explanation.
As a last resort I fall back to Kentucky, which they also don't know, but Cambodians know KFC very well. I lived and grew up a few minutes from the Kentucky border, and Louisville was always our big city to visit for shopping, etc. For this reason I claim Kentucky and KFC, and Cambodians accept that "I am from the land of KFC."
Haaaaahaaaaaa too funny!!!!
