Today is a bit different, Mommy F initiates our visit to the Market (._.)ﾉ. She decided that today is a good day to have a walk outside while also getting the things we need for today's lunch. As you all know, I usually go to the market with Mama. I am glad that she decided to have this walk with me. Her legs are okay now again, thanks to her natural remedy and she also had to take some medicines in the end when the healing process is taking too long. She has oil to massage her legs, she also has that expensive milk which she take regularly and some more of this and that. She try whatever she watched on Youtube that is good for arthritis and the combination is just weird to me, haha.
Anyways, I don't have a photo of our adventure outside so let me share what we bought in the market. We bought quite a bit, from fish, veggies and chicken meat. Mom saw a fresh Alugbati and seriously I complained when I saw that she's planning to buy it. It's just that, there's a big chance that she'll make me eat it all. Although I appreciate the gesture that she wants to get coz it's good for blood or whatever, but it is one unfamiliar plant for me and I am not sure if I will like it. So yeah, I tried to stop her. In the end though she still do what she wants, haha. I mean it's her money so whatever! She wants me to cook it then I complained again saying: "We'll really make two dish for lunch?"
Here's the fresh Alugbati. She's the one who take care of that from cleaning it to getting all the leaves out from it's stem.
The fish is actually for the cat but they are really fresh so Mom wants to make fish soup with Tomato and that Alugbati. So here it is. The Alugbati is really easy to cook..
And as i've said, I don't want to eat Alugbati, but then, I got curious into it so I tried eating it too. As to what I know, Alugbati is slimy. But when we cook it with the fish soup, the soup didn't turn slimy at all. So I tried it, I eat it and OMG! It's really slimy. When you munch it, that's when the slimy part will appear. I can eat Okra just fine because I'm used to it already. But I am not sure if I can eat a lot of this in one sitting. Still, I forced myself today, FOR IT'S HEALTH BENEFITS! I will eat that ಥ‿ಥ. I still enjoy my lunch of course (◍•ᴗ•◍).
While the rest of the fish was cooked with just salt in it because as i"ve said, it's for the cat.
As for the chicken meat, I just make Adobo and this will be our viand tomorrow. This would be good with rice, for sure. I make it a little sour and salty.
We also bought Labanos or radish, salted egg and more tomato. Mon will make a salad I think. I don't eat much the radish, but I like it when Mom make it with sugar, salt and vinegar. I actually missed it, we ate it with rice too ಥ‿ಥ. I don't have a photo because we put it in the fridge. Ehe
Let me also share the boiled banana we had as a snacks. We love to cook boiled banana with a little salt in it to enhance it's sweetness. It's one of the best snacks! I tell yah!
So overall, this day is a special day especially for Mommy F, for sure. It makes me feels good seeing her looking good and not enduring any pain. I just hope she do more of walking, it's for her own good anyways. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
