Pilgrimage

I don't know if you've experienced a particular conundrum but there's this odd situation when you check the crisper drawer in the fridge and look at the contents contently only to realise that though there are veggies in here there aren't any that could be useful to make a meal proper :

Mine had a couple cucumbers, one red bell pepper, five green chillies, a bunch of red chillies, a fat bunch of coriander, a thick bundle of spring onions and some ginger and it was this morning during the lunch packing rush that I realized I have not the wherewithal to make anything half decent and it was with a panic stricken face that I was able to jeuje up some sandwiches and made for the rest with a tomato salad and dates because honestly I didn't even have any potatoes.
I know right!
Me?
But that was the indication to immediately repair for the wet market and load up on produce because I'm going to be making some recipes and I need all the help I can get.
Here's where things get difficult especially when I'm buying vegetables alone because I don't know when to stop.
I get so enthralled by all the greens and vibrant yellows that I shop to the point of being unable to carry the large bag of vegetables on my own.
I mean the weight of potatoes, onions and tomatoes easily adds up and I'm not the one to buy a couple of each not to mention kilos of sweet potatoes and pumpkin.
This is exactly why I don't shop for vegetables alone and lugging back the large bag was a task and all this before I even had my morning dose else of lemon water, banana and tea.
Yikes.
Right!
So I'm back now and a large cup of steaming tea is in order.
