25/September/2016 - Quiet Sunday

It was a quiet Sunday, because we didn't do much.  For the second week in a row we didn't drive to H Mart for fruits and veggies, and we also didn't go to church.  Our early morning "shopping fix" was satisfied, (barely), by a trip Sweetie and Grump made to Lowes to pick up a few minor things for the house.

Speaking of H Mart, here is a box of dried fruit Grump purchased last time we were there:

Goji berries

It's hard to see on this photo, but written on the box is "Fructus Lycii", which is the Chinese name for Lycium barbarum, the wolfberry.  This little fruit has attained fame in recent years under the more common name, "Goji Berry", as it supposedly has all sorts of wonderful health benefits.  Be that as it may, Grump likes how they taste, and he likes to sprinkle them on his morning cereal.


In the early afternoon Grump, Sweetie, and Dodong went shopping at Publix to get some fruits and veggies.   (While Publix is a nice store, I wish they had gone to H Mart instead, as Publix doesn't have the same enormous variety of produce.  Although, to be fair, what Publix does have is usually of very high quality.)

Shopping at Publix

In the late afternoon Kuya's friend Mr. B, his little sister, and his Mom came over for a visit.  I'd like to say I took some great pics of this gathering, but Dodong swiped my cellphone again, so NO PHOTOS!  Sorry.

For dinner, our neighbor Miss Lily invited all of us, and few other folk, (all filipinos, except Grump!), over to her house for pizza and bihon, (rice noodles).  It was yummy, but all too soon it was time for Grump to go back home, and crawl into bed early to get a good night's sleep, in preparation for his drive to work tomorrow morning.

Peace y'all!
