Homemade Meal.....Cook with Love and Goodness
It was a Sunday late afternoon. Dad would be going away as a volunteer for his mission trip to Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand to teach English. I thought I should prepare a really nice, tasty and healthy meal and have dinner with my parents.
So, off I went for grocery shopping at a supermarket after class. I was so glad that the supermarket operated later than usual on Saturday nights!
Fresh fruits were being replenished when I reached there about 10pm!
I did not have a fixed list of items to buy instead I would see what was available and fresh! Yes! Fresh was the word!
Australian sweet mangoes looked awesome! The avocados looked good and were going for $3.95 for 3, and the grapefruits were big and red! A packet of oak leaf lettuce and romaine lettuce were going for $1.85 per packet. Ok! That's a deal!
Those red cherry tomatoes looked yummy too and all these made my shopping basket full in minutes!
5-Colours, 5-Tastes Homemade Guacamole Salad Sauce made with avocado, miso, honey, lime, lime grind, black pepper and sesame oil
In the midst of the preparation…
This avocado looks yummy! I love the awesome, sweet, big, ripe and juicy mangoes!
Look how fresh the mini Oak Leaf Butterhead lettuce
