You will never know you already did something unusual until you are famished.
A bit late, we decided to go to the public market for lunch. Since it's already late, we also are in a rush. Actually, my husband told me to go there in the morning in preparation for breakfast. However, I changed my mind, or should I say, I was a bit lazy at that moment. According to Bruno Mars's song, today, I don't feel like I'm doing anything; I just want to lay on my bed. That was what I felt that morning.
After eating breakfast, my stomach wasn't that filled. Hehe
I didn't burp and was not satisfied. So what we did, was have some quick groceries in the public market.
What We Buy
I have listed the goods we should buy, but I know there are additions and insertions later on.😂
Come on, take a look at them.😁
💥Sparkling Ball Toy
It's not my intention to buy a toy for her. I apprise her at home that I won't buy her a piece.
Ironically, I did. Haha. "Mommy, I like this, please."😂😱 If you are a mom, I'm sure; you can relate to me. The price costs PHP 55 or 1.1 US dollars. After that, we head right away to another stall.
🐟Dried Fish
Nowadays, dried fish is more expensive per kilo depending on the kind. In my case, I purchased only half a kilo which cost PHP 80 or 1.44 US dollars.
🥞Rice Cake (Bibingka)
The seller in the first store was out of stock. So, we went to the other store. Thankfully, she still has some pieces left. We bought ( Me and my Daughter) 2 pieces. Each costs PHP 10 or.1 US dollar. I'm sorry the other one has a bite already.😂
🐟Milkfish
Milkfish is my favorite fish. My husband doesn't like it that much. However, out of respect, he will agree and eat it. It costs 200 PHP or 3.6 US dollars.
🥗Lukot
Since we already have some fish, I also bought Lukot for our fish soup. This ingredient adds more flavor and taste to the dish.
🧅🥬Vegetables and Other Necessities
Our last stop was in this store. Since we already have fish and lukot, I purchased, as well, some spices to add vibrant flavors. Aside from that, I bought tabliya, shampoo, conditioner, cooking oil, salt, squash, cabbage, bitter gourd, and garlic. Our second to the last stop was the one who sold shorts and jogging pants for kids and adults. I bought 3 pieces for only 100 PHP or 1.8 US dollars.
I went to the pharmacy to buy my baby's needs before we head home.
Then home to cook what we have bought.
Cooking Time
We arrived home 10 minutes before noon. My stomach started to growl. That is why I hurriedly cleaned the fish and the spices for the fish soup. After a few minutes, here it is.
The rest of the fish was marinated first and fried later on.
While we were eating lunch, I also multi-task by doing the latter. Changing clothes was not my priority that time because I am in a rush. I know you get why I wore sunglasses. Christmas and New Year are yet to come, but the fish I have fried seemed to show how these celebrations should be. Boom! Bugsh! The cooking oil had a blast in the pan.😂 I was relieved when I have done with it.
In everything we do, we should prepare ahead of time. Sometimes rushing something is inept and may neglect things that should be on the list.
How about you, have you been in a rush for something?
Have you tried buying something not in your list?
