Well this is quite late post, It was few days ago, when the sun was shine so bright in Madrid which was so awesome for autumn, even the temperature was already drop, but that day was gloomy day for me. Walking pass by several block after dropping my baby daughter to school, and I am end up in this my favourite vegetable and fruit shop. This shop is run by the entire family, it is family business, I quite know the owner, the lady name Imperial, what super original and beautiful name *she was surprise when found out my name is Casey, she think my name supposed to be more exotic than Casey haha.

This lady is supercool, she is 55 but she just look like in her mid 40, her energy is so contagious, she is so funny, open minded and have really a broad knowledge, really such a fun to have some conversation and discussion with her. On that day, there was here one grandpa entering the shop, and she said if there was anything she can do for him, and the grandpa just ignoring him, and she just said “I love when I talked to someone and this someone just ignoring me”, I don’t know why I found it so funny, I just laugh my ass so hard to heard her spontaneous and her sense of humour, I can said she just have similar dry humour with a touch sarcasm just like me, which is why we are such a match. She also have the willingness and eager to try any weird ingredient, which also similar to me, the more weird the ingredient, to more I want to tried to cooked it haha.

So back to my grocery shopping activity, I don’t know if you would interested but I will going to write it anyway haha, that day was lucky day for me, I found vegetable that I really want to eat and curious with the taste, I found this purple cauliflower *I love to found that my kids really love it, they even eat it raw, quite proud moment haha if you know what I mean mom?yes? also I found this vegetable, alien looking alike vegetable called Romanesco broccoli, I saw it first in again Nigella Lawson show, I am really admire her and following every of her show. But this Romanesco I still don’t know how it taste, still store it in fridge haha *cooking fresh vegetable they said? haha, I also got few fruit that my little lady asking for *she can’t live without her fruit haha, well It is good to know that at least I’d get the edible kitchen decoration *wink
