Normally when i does my weekly marketing at the market near my house, i will juz stand there & "stone" cuz already sianz & dunno wat to buy. As usual, when i was at the vegetables vendor 3 sundays back, they suggest the idea of eating red spinach but i was brush the idea aside.
But when i passed by the supermarket near my workplace last evening, saw very fresh red spinachs, sort of being tempted to buy, which in the end i did. Cooked a yummy soup as my dinner & tis craze shall continue for these few days cuz i bought 3 bunches. haha.....
