i think she is lao. her brothers fought against the khmer rouge and her father was a respected monk. everything got super wacky in the 60s and 70s

galangal. you can get frozen packs which are ok. fresh it lasts about a week but if you don't have a steady supply that's your best bet. also lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves...

You better step your game up. Thats a badass granny who was up to her wrists in blood and poverty.
Shes a badass chick who passed on genes of a survivor, unlike this country with our public accommodations for lesbian dance theory lessons.
Unrelated note, maybe send her a framed photo when she was in her youth? Old people like looking back on photographs of their younger selves. My grandma loved that gift, back when she was alive.

Id also recommend bringing a full sized Lao flag which she would display with pride, and maybe a Lao shirt like this pic.
Telling her that you are proud of your background will mean a lot to her. Her family fought and died for their nationalism.

she is a little more westernized because she came over when she was like 13 but her older sister is a strait up old country bad ass. i watched her snare a deer in the front yard and then kill, gut, and skin it with a machete. no fucking joke.

Hey, pay attention to >>17176713
You should order frozen or dried galangal, lemongrass, shrimp paste, chili paste, and a variety of "Healthy Boy" soya varieties. Unsure of specific Laotian veg, but your mom knows what to do with that stuff and can get the flavors she needs from those and fish sauce
