A Delicious Salad with Radishes from our Garden.

   The international border market is a busy bustling place, every Monday and Friday we have the opportunity to head off to market to buy our food for the week. While the locals load their produce, baskets and bags onto hard-working donkeys, we start to load ourselves with backpacks and bags for the walk to the border.
   The crowded passageways are filled with a diverse mix of people, sounds and smells; floor space effectively organised into crouched purveyors of dried black mushrooms, spinaches and mangoes. Young boys chime the merits of their plastic wares. And shuffling through the crowds we’re often blessed with a smile from a friendly face, a friend of few words, always pleased by our Creole greetings. 
   The market has more vegetables than a vegan could need, gnarled gargantuan roots, sweet smelling fruits and Dominican trucks heaving with coconuts. Loaded we head home to enjoy a delicious week filled with tasty home cooked vegan food.
