Today was a busy one, but I managed to snap a few pics of an afterschool sugarcane juice and some tofu burgers I made for the family.
š„¤ Sugarcane Juice & Visa Woes š
Ā Ā Ā Today I managed to get an appointment at the US Embassy for an affidavit of single status paper, certified passport copies, and the rest of the packet they prepare to help an American citizen to get married here in Cambodia. I have a fake labor contract stating I earn $2,500 a month, the required (ridiculous) minimum income I am required to earn for the Cambodian government to consider me worthy of marrying the woman I am already married to.
Ā Ā Ā Funny how we left the country to get married because Cambodia wouldn't let us, and now that we've returned as a married couple, Cambodia won't recognize our marriage, but will allow us to get re-married. If it weren't for the legal/visa reasons, I wouldn't require any bureaucrats to accept the love I have for my wife, but this is the way the world has been set up, so what can you do other than buy a sugarcane juice at public school and sip it until your problems disappear.
It's All About The Snacks š
Ā Ā Ā There's a bakery in the town where the girls go to school, and on the occasions where we have tofu at home and the bakery has hamburger buns, tofu burgers can happen. It's also one of the most delicious low effort meals we can make, and I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, so it was perfect timing for one of Monkey-B's favorite treats.
Ā Ā Ā As usual with just about anything I cook, Monkey-B is first at the table because we share the same taste buds. She's recently learned why Tabasco sauce is so awesome and what dishes it brings to life. I always joke with her that if/when we get a USA visa, we'll visit the Tabasco factory in Louisiana. In other news, we're heading to Phnom Penh again soon to collect documents for our second bureaucratic marriage, a step that may assist with me getting a longterm visa for Cambodia.
