Market



Saturday, November 7
Bananas aren't in season right now, so we knew we couldn't make banana cake for market. We've been told lots of things that the family before us did, and popcorn was mentioned many times. So, we decided to take popcorn to market in small plastic bags. Last time we were here, market met a little bit before 8:00 on Saturdays, so we assumed it would be the same this time. After a yummy breakfast of pancakes and some of our precious "real" eggs (we save the powdered ones for baking), we made some popcorn and headed down to the market. There was very little there, and I was a little disappointed. But I soon found out that market was finished! Next week, we'll go right after morning prayer. Our popcorn sold really fast, so I think we will continue to bring it until bananas come back in season.
 
 
We were able to get one bunch of green beans, some eggplant, a papaya, and a soursop. The picture of the soursop has Olivia's hand on it so you can get an idea of how big it is. It is a little tart, but this one was nice and ripe and we enjoyed eating it.
