Vegetables are good for you

It’s Thursday again and a good day to shop at the Asian Market for the newly arrived fresh vegetables. At first I thought that I can’t eat the vegetables that I used to eat in the Philippines coz I heard some stories about Filipinos who lived here in the USA that when they go back to the Philippines, they compare the food and vegetables. I heard complains about the taste because according to them that the Filipino vegetables are tastier and delicious compared to the vegetables here in USA. I agree with it but that doesn’t apply to all. Like the fish here are not fresh compared to the fish in the Philippines that are sold in the market. But for some of the vegetables, the taste is just the same. I was surprised when I first saw the bokchoy (pechay), chinese cabbage and sweet corn. I was more surprised when I saw the live crab at the Asian Market, then they have a young coconut, fresh pine apple, mango like the Philippine mango (but from other country), and most of all… the sweet potato (kamote) from the Asian Market reminds me the taste of the one we have in the Philippines. Hubby like it so much that he wanted me to go to the Asian Market every Thursday to buy more sweet potato. Hehe Too bad, he can’t eat the bokchoy for some reason. I like bokchoy but hubby tried eating it 3 times and it made him sick. There was one time when I didn’t told him that I added bokchoy in the beef stew. I didn’t serve the bokchoy so he will eat it but after eating it, he got some cramps. He lie down in the couch to take some rest hoping that the cramps will go away. Then I told him that there’s bokchoy in the beef stew. He wasn’t mad at me though coz I was smiling when I told him that. But I felt guilty afterwards. I just thought that maybe his tummy will get use to it if he will try eating it again but the result is still the same. Not good. Hehe Here’s a photo of what I got today. More sweet potatoes good for 1-2 weeks, singkamas (forgot the english word for that), butternut squash (will experiment the taste of this one) and green squash which is just the same as what we have in the Philippines.
