Vegetables I like the floating ones


Our recent visit to a floating market just outside Bangkok, it is amazing how you go shopping on a boat, buy your vegetables and fish from another boat, cook them on your boat and sell to the buyers from another boat.

Thailand famous floating markets. An experience of a lifetime.

Aubergines!


Today I prepared deep fried Aubergines and served with some grated cheese.
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Remember Aubergines are very rich in calcium, phosphorous Vitamin A and C and Potassium
Seems like the skin has substances that benefit the liver, pancreas and intestines.
