Hello Precious Fellows !
Hope and Pray that all is going smooth and nice in your sweet heavenly lives!
and if the bitter almond comes to spoil the taste of your tongue you take it as a great help to reveal more of the deliciousness of next one .
Previous week had two local holidays so due to giving more time to the family i missed being close to all of you !
Day before yesterday we went to market which is almost half hour drive away from us .We thought it would be nice day out with cilly shiny weather .We intended to go to park first but hubby advised that days are so short so first we should go for shopping and then if we are free before sunset we will go to the park .
But kids were little disappointed when wandering and wondering in market took more time as unlike me hubby is quite expert in shopping and bargaining .Specially he has eye for right choice .I have always been admirer of his way of shopping even when it comes to vegetables he always choose healthiest items and avoid the mumbling of shopkeepers who always try to take high price and give low quality with tricky hands .
These are the kitchen pans trays ,spice containers and food containers that we use to keep in fridge or i send daily dinner to my mother in law who lives 10 minutes drive away from us. There is rice strainer on right.
I confess that i was never was fond of shopping as i see girls and women around me who are crazy for this .
I use all my stuff until it is torn or broken or gets enough older to look bad .And in this stuff my clothes are also included . I buy new one when seasons changes are yearly festival come .or there is some wedding ceremony in relatives .
Even in youth i never cared about dressing or fashion (how boring). But what to do i am made this way or you can call it another manufacturing fault (have many though).
This packet of sweets came from one of hubby's student who got the job recently and shared his happiness with his teacher .
I wanted to eat all the sweets as i unlike my youth now am huge sweet fan but how bad that forbidden by doctor! (he is my biggest enemy).
This 11 : 30am, Breezy beautiful weather ! 29c :) Feeling little low may be due to lots of laundry yesterday!
Let me Peek now in your lovely places as time is running super fast!
Hope to see you soon my dear friends!
Stay wonderfully sweet and adorably loveable!!!
God Bless You All!!!
Looks sweet that sweets ......mine husband mag nor eati g sweets anymore so we stop both but this looks so Nice I want to taste iT
ReplyDeleteiT .
Those sweets look so good! I generally love food including most things relating to dessert. Like yourself I also must be careful as to how much I eat. One must indulge in small amounts however :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot resist sweets. Hope all is going well in your life.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to wander your market with you. I enjoy shopping and getting a bargain. Your sweets look so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI am not a lover of shopping now either, Baili.
ReplyDeleteThe sweets look delicious.
You make dinner for your mother-in-law every day? How nice!!
ReplyDelete:)
The sweets look very enticing!
I too (like Kathy) would love to wander your market with you. Not so much to get a bargain but because I like to watch the goings on and snap photos for future paintings. I have a painting I probably should start someday about a Grandmother taking a little child to an outdoor market. It stems from a poem I wrote many years ago. But, I seem to be stuck with my creativity at this time. And, the painting I have in mind is very complicated and I am under too much stress from outside influences at this time to even think straight. All I want to do is sit alone in peace. But then again, a painting would be good to keep my mind off of problems I have no control over. I hope you are having a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteI do not like to shop at all. I go with a list and get things done. I do, however, like sweets and your sweets look wonderful. Sounds like a very nice day.
ReplyDeleteSweet treats, yum!
ReplyDeleteI hate food shopping at times but it is a necessity.
ReplyDeleteYour sweets look super delicious and I'm sure you can enjoy a little nibble without feeling too guilty.
Have a wonderful week :)
Sounds like you had a brilliant day...and those little sweet treats look so delicious!
ReplyDeleteReally wish I could try one...;))
Much Love & Hugs xoxoxo
I'm always surprised about the love of sweets your people have. Here, in Indian restaurants there's an amazing variety of fancy sweets. And yes, I do eat in Indian restaurants from time to time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good day, the sweets do look tempting ... I like a square of dark chocolate, the 70% or more, every now and again.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Glad you enjoyed your holidays! The sweets looks good!
ReplyDeleteLike you I hate to shop. The only time I really enjoy shopping is buying Christmas gifts for my family. Otherwise it is a chore.
ReplyDeleteI am not a lover of shopping either.
ReplyDeleteOh, those sweet treats! They look very tempting.
ReplyDeleteI have to confess that I quite enjoy buying something for the house or for clothing when it is necessary to do so. But it is rarely necessary! Like you, I use things until they can't be used anymore. It is good that your husband is a smart shopper and able to get quality products at a fair price.
You are a helpful daughter-in-law to bring food to your husband's mother every day. I imagine she appreciates that very much.
Those sweets look delicious! And such nice colours. I'm not a fan of shopping for shoes and clothes. I find it very tiring and only do that shopping when it's absolutely necessary!
ReplyDeleteSweets for you sweets.
ReplyDeleteVery good idea.
Pleasing to read you enjoyed your holiday.
ReplyDeleteThose cakes and sweets look lovely do hope you enjoyed.
Always in this house we dispose of chipped china as it harbours so many bacteria.
We do like grocery shopping.
"I use all my stuff until it is torn or broken or gets enough older to look bad " I am with you there..unless it's books. Those, I am willing to spend more.
ReplyDeleteYour storage containers are pretty, dear Baili! So nice to have some time with your family to shop, even if it is not the favorite thing to do. It is a tiring chore, but I try to reward myself with a small treat for my efforts - a little candy or maybe a new magazine. The sweets gifted to your husband look too pretty to eat! Sending blessings to you xo Karen
ReplyDeleteHello, dearest Baili! The items you use in the kitchen are really pretty. I love colours and it's lovely to see that you use beautiful colours in clothing, kitchen tools etc.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy almost everything and also shopping, occasionally. The good thing in becoming older is that one learns to appreciate the quality more and more. You need less, you buy less, you take care of the things you have and so on. This old computer I use is almost a friend... :)
Thank you for your always kind comments. The comments like yours give meaning to blogging. I'm sorry that recently I visit so seldom. I hope to have more time when the winter comes and you can't really work outside any more.
Take care of yourself. Blessings and hugs! ♥
OOOH I want those sweets!!!!!!!!!! :) You are so funny Baili, your doctor is your biggest enemy!! Mine is too lol...We are alike, I never saw any "fun" in shopping...any kind of shopping! The only shopping I really enjoy is online shopping for gifts for Alex at Christmas and his birthday! Otherwise, I don't enjoy it at all, I find it stressful. And I'll use something up until it falls apart lol! :) Your hubby has a good skill, I am NO GOOD at bargaining for items at markets...and you're right, you always have to keep an eye on what you're buying to make sure you get what you pay for!!
ReplyDeleteI marvel at all the things you do, Bali. How gracious that you send daily dinner to your mother in law. I like your array of food containers.
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive box of sweets, Temptation galore.
How nice that your husband is a smart shopper. Shop keepers with "tricky hands" would make me weary.
I remember your talking about launday and it is an ordeal.
Baili, Thank you for visiting my blog! I'm sorry for my 'color scheme'....I do like color but I will try and make it easier for you to read. I love your blog and your attitude about life....I think we are kindred souls. I too dislike shopping and I am not a 'clothes horse' as we say here in the U.S. I have never been too interested in clothes as I garden and paint and cook and make messes of my clothes! LOL! I will be back to visit and I will put you on my sidebar as you are just the kind of friend I value! We need more like you in our world!
ReplyDeleteI wait until my clothes are too warn out to worn out before I shop, just not interested.
ReplyDeleteI love desserts and sweets though.
I'll have some sweets please! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteIf I shop for clothes, I like different things! I don't like dressing like everyone else! Big Hugs!
Those sweets look excellent.
ReplyDeleteI don't like shopping either (except for books and plants).
Like you, Baili, I am also not fond of shopping especially for clothes and this is why I have my older favorites. My husband and I do the weekly grocery shopping together most weeks. It's very nice that your husband is good shopper too as many men let their wife do those chores.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me smile, Baili; because like you, I am not fond of shopping ~ Unless it is a book store. I don't care about fashion. Most of it is silliness and an inducement to make one buy things one doesn't need. I tend to hang on to favorite pieces of clothing forever. I have a love of sweets, too, but try not to indulge in cakes and cookies and candy too often. Some days I am more successful than others ~ LOL I'm so glad that I live in a place where I don't have to bargain when I shop! I am terrible at bargaining! Sending you love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to visit with you today and hear about your life and cheery outlook on how things are. The desserts your student brought to your husband look amazing, but most of them I don't recognize! Sweets are so hard to resist as we get older, and that makes it hard! It is wonderful that your husband is such a good bargain hunter, how nice it is for him to go with you! I assume you didn't get to go to the park, and that is sad, but understandable. Happy hugs to you today dear friend!
ReplyDeleteLook at all these Yummy goodies, Baili. I wish I had one to go with my tea right now. I liked seeing the different pans for the kitchen you use also. You know, I've always had a sweet tooth, and could eat several of those desserts if I could haha.
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful weekend, dear Baili.

While I was reading your post, I often felt like I was reading about myself. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am not a big shopper myself... I just want to get in, find what I want and buy it... wondering around is boring and tiring... xox... Have a great week Baili xox
