Burst of colors at the Farmer’s Market

We went to the Farmer’s Market two weekends in a row. I just couldn’t get enough of the burst of colors of the fruits, vegetables and flowers there.

Don’t expect a digital frame here. Just this old rustic frame standing smack in the middle of that frenzy of colors tells you everything here is all natural.

They have such a variety of fruits and veggies it positively made my head spin with ideas. Just imagine the kind of food you can cook up with all these!

Sticky treats

We walked past a candy store at the mall where a lady was handing out samples of sticky goodness. We grabbed a handful to try and they tasted… just like candy :grin: .

There’s a perpetual crowd of curious shoppers milling around the store every day looking at how they roll out these long strings of gooey candy to make little bits like these.

I’m thinking it must take lots of practice and patience and  the lighting must be pretty good to get these intricate designs and letterings worked into that narrow string of gooey candy.

Have you tasted these printed candies before?

Steamed yam cake

Once in a while, my aunt would whip up our favorite steamed yam cake for us if we beg hard enough. I haven’t got a clue how it’s made. I really should learn the recipe from her one of these days since my kids love it so much and the ones sold outside are somewhat watered down and not as yammy.

This picture of this steamed yam cake was taken before she sprinkled the chopped spring onions on top. So it looks rather bland with only chopped peanuts and fried shallots. But trust me, once you drizzle on the accompanying chilly and brown sauces, it tastes like heaven!

Steamed yam cake is a great one-dish meal usually served at lunch. It’s usually eaten slightly warm or at room temperature. I’ve never tried to subject it to the coolness of refrigerator filters but I doubt it would taste good cold.

Thinking big, thinking ahead

Now that my home cooking classes are in full swing, I’m starting to think that maybe I should look for a wholesale distributor to buy from. No, I don’t mean that I will buy such large quantities. I’m thinking in terms of the savings. If we’re going to be cooking a lot, and possibly wasting some, I might want to take advantage of the wholesale pricing to save some cost.

At this point, it’s still very much just a thought. Although I have grand plans for my kids to be able to cook up entire meals, I’m still going to tread carefully here, bearing in mind that our cooking classes will be very much dependent on how well they can cope in addition to their regular school schedules. Well, let’s see how we go :grin: .

Extra special pasta

Although these may look like regular pastas, they’re not. Because this macaroni and cheese was cooked by my son…

… and this spiral pasta was cooked by my daughter, both first time cooks :lol: . What do you think?

I’ve started teaching them how to cook simply because I believe cooking is so easy everyone should be able to cook, given an opportunity to try their hand at it. I’m starting my kids off with some very simple recipes of their favorite foods.

And while they’re busy prepping and cooking, it might be a good idea for me to check out some apidexin reviews in anticipation of all that good food coming my way without me having to lift a finger. Heh, I like the sound of that already :wink: !!
