Asian Market

Yesterday I went to the Asian market. It's in San Diego and it's called the 99 Ranch Market. It has everything Asian in there: fish swimming in tanks, crabs and lobsters in little swimming pools, butchered pig, goat, fish, cow and probably other animals I didn't know what they were. There were as many different brands of soy sauce as there were shampoos. So many kinds of tea! Amazing dried things in bags: mushrooms, fish, fish bones, veggies and fruits. Shall I even mention noodles?? Wow.

My favorite part of the market was the fruits and veggies section. I never knew there were so many different kinds of cabbage! I picked something up called something-choi, probably a relative of bok choy. I'm treating it as cabbage and I'll cook it, smoothie it and juice it. I also got pea shoots. Love those! I've already used them in smoothies and on my sandwiches and burgers. They are so sweet-tasting. I meant to get some Japanese cucumbers, but forgot because I was so distracted by the weird fruits. Durians, breadfruits, Japanese apples/pears. Amazing place.

If I lived closer, I'd be shopping there, that's for sure.

My smoothie for the evening: 2 handfuls of frozen blackberries, 2 dollops of non-fat greek yogurt, one ripe banana and enough almond milk to make it drinkable. Yummy delicious! Who needs ice cream?!
