I was even crazier for venturing out doors at all but my MIL was searching for a specific item so we ended up at the local flea market. I hadn't been in about a year so it was fun to explore again, despite the sweltering heat. Ironically my sunglasses broke while I was there so I headed on over to the $5 sunglasses booth and picked up a new pair, pictured above.
On the way out our tummies were rumbling so I picked up some particularly tasty kettle chips and some Mexican street corn, roasted and slathered with butter, parmesan cheese, herbs and chili powder; yum! The spices did make my lips tingle though and I only made it through about half the ear before I had to wrap it up and finish it later, indoors with a/c.😂
We also stopped at an Asian food market and I got some jasmine green tea and a coconut mung bean bun which I had never tried before. It was really good; the pastry was fluffy and lightly sweet, very similar to a Hawaiin sweet roll and it was filled with a yummy coconut paste.
Well, that concludes my exotic food tour for the day. I feel like I'm trying to get fall vibes going and failing miserably in this sweltering desert. I have higher hopes for October.
Have you tried any new foods lately? Worn a new favorite clothing item? Is it fall weather or still summer where you live?
STREET CORN! Oh, so, so good. It's even more amazing if, instead of the parmesan (or perhaps in addition to) it's rolled in that fresh white cheese that's a bit feta-y, a bit ricotta-y? Forget the name right now, but oh holy crap, it's good. I really need to get my butt to a South American grocery now!
