First, I hope Dicey is sitting down. (He will have a stroke when he learns what I paid for it.)
Second, I grew up on in Georgia, where we had plenty of Monkey Bread to eat.
Well, fast forward a LOT of years, and now in Battambang. I was talking with Iaan a while back. (He and his wife Chenda own Ambrosia Cafe.) Anyway, I learned they can make many different kinds of bread, depending on available ingredients, anyway. I have been buying wheat bread from them, by the loaf, in the neighborhood of $3.00 to $4.00 USD per loaf.
Yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, we were discussing things we missed from "back home". One of mine that came up was - Monkey Bread. The guy who actually cooks it happened to walk in a bit later and confirmed that yes, he could make it for me if I wanted.
Without asking for a price, I asked him when he could have a loaf ready. Well, they sent me an SMS this afternoon, letting me know we could pick up my first loaf in going on two decades, of Pull-Apart-Bread, aka Monkey Bread. It would be ready by 7pm.
The boss fetched it, after heading to the grocery to pick up some ingredients for my supper - spaghetti!!! Yes!
She hit the house about 7:15, photos of it between then and 7:20, and I was pulling it apart by 7:30. God, 7:47pm now, and I am feeling sick after all the Monkey Bread and Milk I have consumed. But, I am one happy camper!!
Oh, Dicey? $7.00 USD per loaf. God, it was worth every single penny.
