Today it was a hot day. I decided to walk and buy some groceries at the supermarket. The sun was high and shining, and it felt hot on my skin, and just 10 am. However, I had a plan to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits we needed at home, and I also wanted to cook something nice for our lunch. I wore my pink cap so the sun would not directly to my face and could cover my eyes from the sun too, a sleeveless shirt because the sun in the morning is good for the skin, and comfy sandals. I also bring my eco-bags with me because I know I will buy many things. When it comes to the grocery store, I always go to Whole Foods Express. I like this store because I don’t have to wake up early to go market no like the wet market behind this mart, and the veggies and fruits are fresh; they also have fish and chicken, and many more. But I buy meat here very seldom. I usually buy from my meat and fish suppliers. Unless I want to cook something right away, and I don’t have the stock, like the prawn, I was thinking of cooking a prawn with veggies for lunch.
Before I went inside, I took a photo with the store behind me. I sent the photo to my husband. The parking place was full and busy. When I went inside, the cold air felt very nice. It was hot outside. I like this market because it is very clean. The workers are kind and help me. I went to the fruit and vegetable area first. And I’m so happy to see they are just refilling all and many green vegetables. I took some green and red apples, spinach, kangkong (water spinach), and more. I also took some mangoes, bananas, and dragon fruit. I enjoy choosing all fresh veggies and fruits. I like to touch each vegetable and choose all the good one, look at the colors, and think about the meals I am planning to cook, especially for our lunch, such as prawns with long beans and pumpkin with coconut milk. And after that, I went to the snack area. This part is fun! I found some snacks I like, Nutella B-ready, Lucky Stick, wraps, and many types of bread. I also picked some new things like coffee candies and a new peanut butter. I walked around the store for almost one hour.
I looked at prices, read labels, and checked items carefully. Shopping like this makes me happy. I enjoy picking good food for my family and finding tasty snacks. At the checkout, my two eco-bags were full. One bag had fruits and vegetables. The other had snacks, drinks, and pantry items. I waited outside for my ride and looked at my full bags. The weather outside is getting hotter, and I’m a little tired but satisfied. Shopping is not just a home task as a mother; it is also a little adventure, and it’s fun. It helps me take care of my home and bring happiness through food. As I stood outside, I looked at the people and felt thankful. I feel happy and lucky. I bought fresh food and can cook for the people I love. It was a simple and nice day. I went home with full bags and a full heart. At home, I was ready to wash the vegetables, keep the food, and make a cold drink. I looked forward to dinner and the meals I would cook with all the food I bought today morning. Thank you for reading my story, and until next blog..
