A Basic Diet



It is something you have to get used to, and it is also something that will bring out the creativity in you. The selection is limited, especially when it comes to vegetables and fruit.  Summertime brings some relief to the limited choices, but it means a lot more trips to the market to grab those opportunities.  It is already July, and vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower are nowhere to be seen.  Lettuce (only one kind), spring onions and radish are available.  At least you can have a salad, just add the tomatoes and you're there.  My first trip to the market delivered all of these (in the picture), well, there were also potatoes, but that would have been just a little bit too adventurous.  So, for now, we will be content, and wait for the month or so when we will have more choices and get those much needed nutrients before winter is bringing us back to only the basics.  






Until another time .... from Mongolia.
