Pounding Spices in Phnom Penh

by Emerson Stanton

Under the flat, diffused gray of an overcast midday, a cramped street-side stall in Phnom Penh bustles with quiet industry. A vendor in a faded yellow shirt balances a heavy wooden mortar and pestle on a low concrete block, rhythmically pounding fresh lemongrass and chilies for a local lunch. Beside the grinding stone, a plastic crate holds rows of small glass bottles, their labels obscured by condensation and dust, waiting to be filled. A folding chair sits empty near the entrance, its metal legs reflecting the dull sky, while tangled electrical wires hang loosely above, connecting a flickering fluorescent tube to the main line.
