Dinner

Periwinkles, originally uploaded by benlouelt.

I think not.

Although today was Market Day, and I did buy seafood for dinner, I didn't stop too long by the Periwinkles. Positioned next to a giant bucket of crawling baby crabs, it was all a bit too alive for me first thing in the morning.

Little Saigon in Footscray is always an eye opener. We go mostly for the fresh herbs and noodles, but always have a bit of a stroll around looking at the weird and wonderful ingredients that the supermarket stocks. Today we saw bottles of fish sauce. Nothing unusual there. A closer look revealed that it was sauce WITH FISH IN IT. Whole fish. Not even sure how they got them in there.

I bought the loveliest bunch of flowers for myself, cabbagey things on long stalks. Gorgeous, but am somewhat fearful that they may be a bit pongy.

Dinner tonight is Thai Fish cakes with pickled cucumber and rice noodles. Pity I didn't buy any of those Creme Caramels I talked myself out of.
