Woke up this morning and saw a bright yellow thingy in the sky ☀️, its a rare occasion, i will take advantage of this beautiful day, jumped to the shower , get dressed, called my partner in crimes and biked to the notorious Saturday market....
15 minutes biking in the summerish weather (not!!) i decided to reward myself with a hot stroopwafel ( caramel cookie waffel) and a double shots espresso... yummy yummy , i gained 2 kgs already but hey ... you only live once ( holy molly i used YOLO) 🤣
Where else will you find Ephie than near food stals? ... yes those gebraden kippen ( rotisserie chicken) smell amazing , i bought 1 pc of chicken for my tea tonight and fresh cheese and salame for my nextflix time .. actually this is my first Saturday home post surgery... so Netflix will be my date 😊😍 and i will keep my big fat arse .., but seriously , an awesome Gauda for less than € 10,- ? I love my lowland .
Whilst browsing the fresh fish stals , i bought some fresh squids for tomorrow tea and stupidly asked a question to the guy, “ where did the fish coming from ?” He said “ from the sea” ... gosh i am grateful they couldnt see my red face .. duuuhh off course i know that fuckwit, he might seen me almost crying with embarasment het got me a fresh deep fried kibbeling ( cod ) with garlic sauce 🤣 that what we called Brabant’s hospitality.
My tummy so full , almost exploded, i took time to browse the veggies and fruits and this time i shut my mouth and didnt ask weird question eventhough i am dying to ask where those sweet and yummy Strawberry voming from , 3 boxes for €5,- , i will be having a healthy strawberry and youghurt for brekky.
I totally excited and jumping with joy when i see those amazing khaki ( sharon) fruit .... yummmmm, i am in heaven , the whole box for €2,50,-.... you guess i would leave it untill home right? Noooooo i asked the guy if i can borrow the knife and yes i finished 2 of them ... after this i will be stop eating untill the end of the year ....
a kg of fig , 2 pineaples, a kg of apricot and a kg of pomegranate later , and only spent less than € 20,- .. i feel like i won the lottery , wow !! for all of those i would spend about €50,- in AH ( Albert Heijn Super Market) , its like Wollies in Straya or Fred Meyers or Public in Merica.
So excited with my bargain , my BFF and i biked back to my place for a refreshing drinks and try the cheese i just bought .
To end these beautiful saturdate i brought my BFF to the airport to catch up her flight home and watch the amazing sunset .
I should go to the market more often, it was such an experience, people happily bargaining and chatting to others.. i might need to be more down to earth and less snobish and the double shop espresso was really tasty , much more better than €3,50 eur one from the tearoom.
What they said its true “ you dont need much to be happy” .... i got an awesome Saturday and i hope y’all too.
Eindhoven, Oct 5th..
