Yesterday, when I arrived home I am craving for some specialty of my mother. So after few minutes of resting and fixing myself, I go to town to buy some foods at the market. I also bought 3 bundles of fern vegetables that cost β‚±10 or $0.20 per bundle. And I bought some ingredients and others.

From the market, I go back at home and prepare some dish for our lunch meal. My mother helps me preparing the dish. Actually, it is my mother who all do the preparation of our dish especially the preparation of the fern vegetable salad. Because, my mother feels that I am tired and don't have a good sleep from the trip. I am so happy and grateful for my mother's love. πŸ₯°

My mother helps me of washing, cleaning and cutting the soft part only of the fern leaves. And my mother do the cooking actually. πŸ₯°

Anyways, even it is not me who did the preparation and even we did not use magic I still use the Magic Shikika in my title. Because, it is me who is sharing the recipe tonight. πŸ˜€
