I am trying to find my way around our new hometown. Best way to start?
The local market is "the place to be" on Tuesday's and Saturday's I hear,
so I decided to go for a browse
around today.
There's money in my pocket, waiting to be spend here, but I have to prioritise my spendings, practical needs first,
flowers and other garden necessities will have to wait another month or so.
is deffenitly in the planning!
But not yet.
At least I will know where to buy everything for a descent price.
We used to have a saying in Dutch,
translated it's something like:
On the market your euro is worth €2,50
And that is very very true, everything is cheaper here!
in every colour, shape and size can be found here.
I see foreign goods I have
never even seen in the supermarket before.
Like these, some type of mushroom?:
A LOT of cheese!
I love it! Good for me they put little dishes at the stalls with different cheeses to taste.
Yum yum yummie!
Check out these cute little baby Edammers:
So much to take in.
Complete ADHD hell to try and stay on task here..
note to self: no spending, just browsing
But no visit to the market is complete,
without having eaten some fish.
Fried fish, we have a variety of it, the most tasty and convenient choice of the Dutch is "kibbeling".
Small pieces of spiced, battered goodness!
Accompanied by some creamy garlic sauce,
fingerlicking good! 🍽
Next week I will plan my shopping trips a bit more efficiently, and start buying my fresh goods right here, what an eyeopener!
Literally
Makes me think what I have missed out on all these years being stuck in a small silly town...
This was day 2 of peeping in on my little life,
thank you for reading if you made it this far!
Have a brilliant day,
