Good day guys!
During my day off, me and my dad had to get something. My dad asked my grandma if she needs anything from outside and she told us to buy some vegetables and a fruit for her. We went to the satellite market of Camp 7 which is the closest market in our place. This was how the stand looked like.
They had different kind of products from vegetables, fruits souvenirs and brooms. .
What I loved buying in the store was that they put price tags in the vegetables and fruits that they were selling so I would know how cheap they are and the fact that everything was fresh. They were also strict where we should be practicing social distancing and masks are needed. The only thing that I didn't like about the store was the fact that the person selling the goods were wearing surgical gloves. I was wondering why was she wearing those, she even held money with it.
These were the items that my grandma requested. I had a hunch of what she was going to make.
She asked for 3 lemons.
Cabbage
Wombok or Chinese Cabbage.
Brocolli
Beans.
Sweet peas and young corn. I never knew that sweet peas were very expensive. They were selling it for 260 php a kilo, that's around 5.19 USD.
Before dinner time, she had this bowl sent down. I was right with what I was thinking of what she was going to make. She made Chop Suey. This is a a very popular dish in the Philippines. It's a stir fry dish made out of mixed vegetables. It was so kind of her to send us a bowl to eat. It was delicious. Nothing can beat a grandmother's love and sweetness.
Thanks for reading and Stay safe always!

That is a very well stocked market and everything looks so clean and fresh. I like it! I am sure those veggies were delicious!
Your grandma makes such an amazing chop suey! It is a favorite dish here also, well, for my family, and a wonderful way of getting proper nutrients in one dish. I want to thank you for giving us the tour of the store and allowing us to see what you bought and just how fresh is the thing I noticed!
The lady with the gloves. Yes, that kind of confused me, because she is contaminating every person's products by using the gloves to touch the money, give change, and put it in your bags. The only good thing is she is protecting herself from all.
This was a most excellent post! Thank you!

Most of the farms here are located near here, that's why the vegetables are always fresh. Yes, they were really delicious!
Nothing can beat a grandmother's love. It was really delicious. That's nice to hear that you guys also make chop suey.
I think it's just the lack of information that's why she's using gloves. Anyway thank you so much for hosting this. Have a great day!
