The other weekend Jonny and I were incredibly low on food, so we went to a really big market that has just about everything - and bought so much food. I can't remember exactly everything that we bought, but we bought about:
- 10 zucchinis
- 10 cucumbers
- 10 carrots
- 15 potatoes
- 20 limes
- 1 pineapple
- 1 cantaloupe
- a big bunch of bananas
- lettuce
- spinach
- parsley
- cilantro
- beets
- 1 lb of almonds
- broccoli
- apples
- tomatoes
- a huge bag of green beans
- and more that I can't remember....
- ALL FOR LESS THAN $20.00
What??!! I know. Amazing. We have no excuse to never eat fresh fruit here, and typically we do a pretty good job of it as we have a market right next to our house and our office, so we can always get fresh food when we need it. The downside of this is, once we buy it then we need to sanitize all of it because we can't eat it without washing it super carefully otherwise we get sick. So once we get home, we fill a bunch of bowls with water, put some sanitizing stuff in it and let everything soak for awhile to avoid parasites and all of that other good stuff that come on Mexican veggies :-)
While at the market I also bought this beautiful, little hand embroidered apron. I'm not sure why I look so silly in that photo...but whatever....
Here is the back...
And a close up of the front. Don't I look just like a little Mexican Domestic Goddess? :-) Haha. Right. Don't let the apron fool you.
