Cooking Dinner!

My host mom was cooking dinner one night, and I had nothing to do, so I offered to help.  I didn't get to do much because I didn't totally know what I was doing, and neither of us wanted me ruining dinner.  But I still got to help out.  When my host mom and I cook, we talk, well mostly me asking what everything is, writing it down, and then forgetting what she said ten minutes later, but it is still fun, and a "bonding" activity. 

 This is my host mom cutting up the veggies.  I don't have much to say about these pictures, because they are pretty self explanitory. 
 In this picture I am stirring a mixture of chopped up pork and egg.  This will later be used to make an omlette.  Its pretty delicious, I must say. 
 Me stir frying some of the veggies together. 
   My host mom properly stirring the veggies.  She let me do it so that I could have a picture, but as soon as the picture had been taken, we quickly switched spots so that I didn't burn dinner.  I don't think she has much faith in my cooking abilities...I don't blame her.  I can bake...not cook. :)
Dinner! I think this is called Som Tam Goong.  (Goong means shrimp).  This dish is pretty spicy, but delicious.  So there are a few pictures about my cooking experience.
