farmers mart festival

We had banana toast again this morning!

banana maple & cinammon toast that looks like banana pie=)

mentaiko cheese toast

Made use of English muffins so they look like the tarts in the bakery =P

The farmers mart was having their farmers fair this weekend.

started yesterday, but sales of vegetables only today.

on my pamphlet, it says sales start 2pm.

we left home early, thought we could head to for other shopping first, but when we walked pass at 12.05pm, it was full of people!!! ok, full of aunties.

then we saw the sign that says, sales start 12pm!

?! how come the auntie troop swarmed in so fast?

we queued to enter the sales area, had to be entered in batches to prevent chaos.

when i saw the vegetables, i almost couldnt believe! 100yen for 3 daikons?

100yen for 2 dozen mikans? 100yen for 2 big heads of cauliflowers/cabbage/broccolli?

In no time, my buddy had his hands full. =P hehe

the funfair section had many mini stalls set up by the farmers. but this was what caught my eyes most.

vegetable boat~

pretty!

when we left, there was almost nothing left at the sales area.

i am amazed at how news pass along the aunties!

i need to join a network soon? >.<

ok, then we headed back home to offload everything.

and headed for some shopping.

came home really hungry cos it was cold too,

spinach & ricotta raviolli in cream soup

=) ahh... warmed up!

we got this at misdo today

looks like a cake eh?

but its misdos xmas donut series!

we bought strawberry today

the doughnut dough was strawberry too!

because we have so many daikons at home,

i wanted to make daikon nimono (simmered dish).

but after putting everything together, it became oden accidentally.

with just 3 peices of fishcakes, and the rest, a full daikon, carrots, yam pieces, gingko nuts & konnyaku! well, + boiled eggs.

it was super healthy oden today.

daikon skins and leaves with some dried tiny anchovies cooked with rice

i usually remove the skins from the daikon so the broth seeps into the daikon easily.

this time, cooked the skins with rice.

1 daikon finished =)
