Dropped by the Kadiwa stalls beside the church on my way home from the bank this morning. It is now a weekly ritual for me. These itinerant vendors are usually there from Friday to Sunday selling vegetables, fruits, dried fish, fish sauce, vinegar dips, chicharon and pusit (sun-dried squid). Their vegetables are way cheaper than in the wet market. No middlemen involved so they can afford to sell their goods at a cheaper price. Tomatoes are regularly selling at P80 pesos a kilo but I was surprised one stall sell them at P40 so I bought some. Then I dropped by Savemore supermarket to buy coco cream to use for my curried eggplant later. It’s nice that our mayor allowed them to sell in our town, a big help for those in a budget like me.
It’s Friday again, another weekend to just relax. February is on its way in. Time flies. Seems like it was only yesterday when we celebrated Christmas and New Year.
Side by side with reading the Shell Seekers, I started The Girl In The Glass by Susan Meissner. It is a story set in Florence, Italy and the great masterpieces during the Italian Renaissance. I read so many books written by Meissner before and rated them four and five stars but reviews say, this is not her best. I love the challenge of finding out though.
Joyful and happy weekend my blogger friends.🪴💐🌿
