How many times have I had to look these up, only to forget again. Simple and immensely useful, reposted from the original by Miguel Yatco at Cool Infographics.

What to do with an old crib
I love this idea, even though we never got around to buying a crib for the little boy! It’s reposted from A Little Learning for Two, a blog about raising two kids on a small budget in a small apartment.
Khmum Ang (Bee larvae cake)
This is a bee larvae cake, a dish from the ever-popular Sovanna restaurant (No 2C St 21, just south of Sihanouk Blvd). It’s steamed with spices in banana leaves, and picked at like a snack. We had a friend visiting Cambodia who wanted to sample Khmer cuisine, and what better way to do that than to get a big group together so you can toss something like this into the meal mix? ;-) It has a gummy sort of texture, and the larvae pop like a pocket when you bite down on them. It’s got a nutty taste, a little sweet, with a hint of honey. No one disliked it, though it won’t be something we will normally order. Photo from Keith Kelly.
from Diapers to Durians
…speaking of pungent fruits.. It isn’t durian season, but Thai varieties are available all year so we can get them here. I had a craving for it a few weeks ago and the little boy got in on the fun. Yep, he’s had a taste and seems to like it.

it’s a nice little rendering from the folks over at House32, no?
Plai kvet for the intrepid palate
Pronounced plaiii-kwut!, these fruit are hard like rocks on the outside. They’re eaten whether or not they’re ripe. Our nanny Sopheap brought us some and they were so ripe they fragranced the entire house with a pungence the way durian and jackfruit do. It’s the kind of smell where it depends on your mood and health whether the pungence is acceptable! [Read more…] about Plai kvet for the intrepid palate
