Siam: Margaret on Cooking and the Marketplace

Margaret describes her stove, how slow it is, and the hard work it takes to cook on it. She tells of the market, especially the buying of meat and how she tendered beef before roasting it. Pork was more tender and they had it more often. She would often buy beans, so often that it was called 365'rs because they ate it almost every day of the year.
