I am craving a specific dish today, with ingredients of this and that. It's a vegetable dish with three or more different kinds of veggies. There's eggplant, squash, string beans, okra, bitter gourd, and tomatoes. Sounds like a good combination, no? And healthy too (._.)ﾉ. And so yeah, because I'm craving it, I decided to make it. I asked the oldies first if they wanted it, and for us who always eat the same thing, this different of a dish that we rarely eat is already like a treat. So, on to the market to buy the needed ingredients... ＼(◎o◎)／
So our first stop was on this ship, Mama had to buy a charcoal because she already run out of a firewood. She bought the 40 pesos one, the bigger one yeah.
This trip is really awesome because the weather is nice. Mr. Sunny's hiding as of the moment.
We used this route to reach the market and I just noticed that they already the tall barricade on this road while construction of the new building was ongoing. Feels like we can breath now, not that they remove it. Haha. Soon this building will be filled too with occupants and shops. Not sure what they're going to put here. But, it's a two storey building, i'll for sure be so lazy to go up in there. Lol
So we arrived in the market, Mama bought a fish while I bought a ready mixed vegetable for today's dish. I also bought 70 pesos chicken meat, breast part to mix in today's dish.
Mama on the other hand bought Gabi in Ka Donie. We saw her sitting on this side so Mama checked the two casserole on the ground. There's Ginataang Gabi and Kamansi. But Mama wants the Ginataang Gabi so she pick that ＼(o)／
We also stop by in a pharmacy after buying everything in the market. Mama had to buy some medicines, we didn't stay that long in there because there's no long queue of costumers.
Anyways, i'm not the one who cooked the vegetable dish today, it's Mommy D. So after cleaning and preparing all she needs in cooking, I left the kitchen and go downstairs. My destination? Into the yard, haha. And there's something more interesting here, good thing I decided to visit here. I daw mama, Uno and Bibe looking at the river. And when I take a peek, I saw kids fishing.
Look at all these boys, instead of using gadgets here they getting busy to get fresh fish. I already mentioned this before in my recent articled, there's a lot of fishes here too, there's eel and tilapia, I saw them always here whenever I hangout in the yard. Some are all just tint fishes. But the kids got lots of small tilapia. That's a good fish too to have for a meal.
Can you see the other kids holding those fish in a rope? That's actually a lot no. Such cool boys being so madiskarte.
I experienced fishing here before as a kid. I remember digging the soft soil just to get worms to get those dishes. It's a fun memories of mine really, I remember how my mama or my brother will taught me how to do it. And it is just so fun to watch these kids enjoying fishing. Like I don't know if they are fishing for fun, but I am sure that they had a lot of fun doing all that seeing them smile whenever they catch fish. This will be that fun memories that can always remember, for sure.
Have you tried fishing before as a kid??
