Hello, hello beautiful Hivians πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

June 17, #marketfriday by @dswigle

Today was a really fun day at the market for me, I had so many adventures while trying to get some things for the house and also going on my scavenger hunt 😁😁.

When I got to the local market, it was crowded as always. There was so much rush from every corner, I was not feeling too well but I had to go to the market to get some food stuffs for the house.

I planned on preparing vegetable soup but unfortunately the vegetables were expensive and I wasn't sure how much to buy so I decided to prepare something else. I decided to prepare Fried melon soup.

I was so happy when I went to buy the meat from the person I normally buy from and the price was so suitable for me unlike the last time. I normally but for $2.5 but today I bought for $2.14 which is lower than last time.

After getting the meat for the soup, I went for the melon which happens to be the same price ($0.83). I also got the other necessary items for the soup and I spent approximately $5 for the soup and I spent approximately $30 for other home items.

After getting all the items I need for the house, I then went for my SCAVENGER HUNT 😜😜.

At first I was not sure of what I was looking out for to hunt but thanks to @dreemsteem I got an idea of how it's supposed to be. For the hunt, I was to look for something bubbly, something prickly, something that smells nice and lastly, something that called my name.

Something bubbly and something calling my name 😁😜...

I had a really great search to get something bubbly but luckily for me after much search, I found something bubbly and it happens to also be something that called my name too. I'm sure you are wondering what that could be and trust me, it might also call your name, lolz. The something bubbly I found was packs of Fanta.

They were so many that I could barely resist, I only stopped myself from getting one because I'm having pains in my tonsil (mouth).

I was passing through the place where they distribute these packs Fanta to the wholesalers. They were looking so beautiful and bubbly at the same time, I could hear some voices in my head telling me to go get one pack but if I get it how I'm I going to pay and even enjoy them, when I'm feeling so much pains in my mouth, so I couldn't get any, after all its a hunt not for me to feed myself right? hehe πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Something prickly...

I had so many things in mind for something prickly but I had to go for the one I could easily get a photo for and that happens to be Crayfish. While I was getting some for the house, I just remembered the hunt and something prickly and I quickly took a shot to show y'all ☺️☺️. Like you all know Crayfish can be very prickly, just touching it rashly can cause it to prick your hands so I decided to go for it as something prickly.

Something that smells nice...

Going on this hunt made my time at the market really fun and funny, I had to walk to and from just looking for the perfect items for my hunt but I still couldn't get a perfect shot of something that smells nice but fortunately for me, I got something the previous day that smells really nice and it's a passion petroleum jelly.

I'm sure just few persons know what this is, as the name sounds, it is a cream, an oily cream but the perfume used for it smells really really nice.

So far so good, I hope I was able to hunt all that I needed and I hope you enjoyed reading until this point.

See you all at my next post ❣️❣️.

You are welcome @hopestylist πŸ˜πŸ‘‹πŸ» Anytime.
Thank you kindly, enjoy yours πŸ˜Žβ˜€οΈ

hehehehe i was laughing SO HARD when you said you were having pains in your tonsils LOLOL

what a description!!!

oh my goodness - that is a MOUNTAIN of Fanta!!! I can taste the orange flavor on my tongue! hehehe its so tasty - but right now i'm not having any sugar or any soda hahahaha

and then the mountain of shrimp!!! hehehehe

they were perfect and prickly! hahahahahaha did you buy any??/

I hope your dinner that you purchased was wonderful! hehehehee

love you - this was such a great fun post - you still have me giggling!

Oops, my mistake, lol πŸ˜‚. I meant I'm having a severe pain in my tonsil, inside my mouth.

Yes is indeed a mountain, I couldn't help but notice them. So sad you can't have them too, hehe.

Yes, I got some shrimp and it made the food really tasty but the sad part is I couldn't even taste it because of the pains I'm having but my brother says it's delicious πŸ₯°.

You too, you just keep me smiling whenever I read your replies ☺️☺️. I'm really happy you stopped by.

ohhhhhhhh wait... you are having pain for real?

i thought you were being silly - meaning that the drink was making you so thirsty it was making your tonsils ache! hahahah

i'm sorry you're in pain! i hope it goes away soon!!!

(and glad your brother got some of that shrimp) you might have tonsilitis- hm?

better get it checked out, I think?

Yes I'm having the pains for real, I couldn't eat any food yesterday, it hurts really bad.
And yes I do have tonsillitis.

ohhhhhhhh - do you have to get them removed soon?

this is a surgery, right? I'm so sorry!! :(

Not yet, I'm using antibacterial first and surprisingly it's working, the pains has reduced when I woke up this morning.

I felt like you prayed for me, or someone did because I feel really really better than yesterday.

Thank you so much for your care and compassion @dreemsteem, I love you so much 😘😘.

That was an amazing adventure at the market today with you, I'm glad you found all the items for your hunt 😊

Happy market Friday dear
Scavenger hunt done for sure!
That

I'm super happy I could hunt all I needed and I'm so happy you did too. It was in a great time with you at the market today

Happy market Friday to you too.

Yayy, market. I Usually love visiting the market. It's fun to see variety of products around.

So so fun seeing the different varieties, I'm so glad you could stop by, thank you for leaving your amazing comment.

Crayfish as something prickly, brilliant! @hopestylist 😁
I'm glad you had fun during your hunt.

Your tonsillitis sucks though. One time I lost my sense of taste and smell (it was just extreme cold not covid lol) cooking food and not being able to taste anything was absolute torture so I can actually imagine what you are going through.

I hope you get well soon though ❣️

Yes it was a really brilliant one 😁😁 and yes I had so much fun πŸ₯°.

Yes the tonsillitis really sucks badly, I wasn't able to eat anything yesterday but guess what, I'm eating now, I feel a little better now, I think the drugs worked.

Thank you so much for stopping by and your concern, I really appreciate it 😘😘.

Hey Hope!, I'm sorry for the late reply πŸ˜ͺ

It's great to know that you are getting better and by now you are probably totally fine...at least I hope you areπŸ™‚.

You are welcome ❣️

Your hope for an enjoyable read is granted. I had a very enjoyable time going to and fro with you around your local market. It's fun looking at all the different choices made for this week's DreemPort challenge. πŸ’›

I really happy enjoyed it. My local market is full of so many interesting things and I'm really happy to share some with you.

Yes, everyone's choices are awesome.

Hello again, @hopestylist, it looks like my five a day curation trail from DreemPort has brought me back to you. Lol!

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

Hehehe, it so good to have you drop by again πŸ€—πŸ€—.

And yes, I had a lovely weekend and you?

It was a bit chaotic actually. My poor pup was a little under the weather. But other than that, it was good. He's feeling lots better now. So, that's all that matters. 😊

Oh, it's good to hear he's feeling better now. Give him a hug for me πŸ€—.

I love Fanta and actually had some yesterday partner. What a cool scavenger hunt you had, and how cool was it that the meat was less than last time!

Yes, I so much love the idea of scavenger hunt, I enjoyed every bit of it and I'm glad I could share my experience with you all. And I was really excited the price of the meat went down 😊.

Thank you so much partner for stopping by 😘😘.

You are fizzy drinks lover; have you thought there should tanker of Fanta for you instead of bottles lol. That's how true lovers think.

Crayfish as prickly, did you try to get some pinch feelings hehe

Haha, that bubble on the Fanta bottle makes it bubbly. Enjoyed your selection of things, but wait fried melon soup is honestly a new dish for me. Dreemport dropped me here to appreciate such an amazing entry.

I've once wanted a tank, hehehe but not again, I don't want to suffer from diabetes πŸ˜‚.

Not really but it pricked me once while trying to add some to the food I prepared.

Yeah the Fanta was indeed bubbly πŸ₯°.

I know you might not have heard of it but it's really nice 😁😁.

Thank you so much for stopping by @ayesha-malik, I love your comment πŸ₯°.

Fried Melon soup? Ok this I have to hear more about!!! !LOLZ Sounds fascinating and strangely yummy... is it vegan then? Well done on scavenging smartly... my Jack loves fanta orange...he would have agreed with you today hehe. !PIZZA

Yeah fried melon soup, it's really delicious. I understand it might be strange to you but it's one of the major soups in my country, hehehe.

I'm glad you think I did smartly with my hunt.

Wow, Jack? Who's Jack? I'm glad he loves Fanta and he will agree with me πŸ₯°.

hehe Jack is my 9 year old son :-)

Oh, my regards to him, tell him I love him πŸ₯°.

You had a great day at the market. I feel like packing some crayfish through my phone πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ they look prickly indeed. I came through Dreemport.

Yes I did. Hehehe, indeed the Crayfish looks really tempting and prickly.

I'm happy you stopped by πŸ€—πŸ€—.

I appreciate how you cared to write tonsil (mouth). I was aware of the term but maybe some not so I appreciate your approach. !PIZZA

Thank you so much @dlmmqb, I truly appreciate it that you stopped by πŸ₯°.

You did an amazing job of getting what was necessary for the spree @hopestylist, everything qualified for the contest!!! Passion Petroleum Jelly??? lol Hm, reminds me of some old times hahahahahaha!!!
This post was obtained through Dreemport.

Thank you so much @jamerussell for your amazing feedback, I truly appreciate it.

Yes passion petroleum jelly πŸ˜‚, I'm not sure what memory it brought back but I hope it's a good one.

Good on you for finding the items. I would go for the Fanta too since it's a warm weather we are having. Just one bottle of that is enough for me though. I wonder what kind of aroma the petroleum jelly emits :)

Yeah I think one bottle is enough too.

The aroma is really nice, I don't even know what to describe it with, but I'm sure you will like it, maybe πŸ˜‚.

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your amazing comment @leeart.

Those soda drinks have proliferated here as well for I see them everywhere even online sellers :D

Yes that's true. It's almost hard to get my mind off of it 😁.

Lol! Wait until your throat gets better though before drinking one :D

Yeah, my throat is better now πŸ₯°.

That's good to know :)

Great post you have here darling. Fanta never calls me though, the cousin Coca-Cola doesπŸ˜ƒ. You are lucky to get red meat that is cheap. Red meat is very expensive in Lagos here. For a single meal you need about $5 worth of red meat. For something prickly, you nailed it. I hate when crayfish pricks me but I love the taste in my food😜. Passion powder smells really nice. Well done!

Yes, I'm so so happy everything went well at the market and about the meat, I was just lucky that Friday. I understand when you said red meat are truly expensive in Lagos. I pray God continues to provide.

Yeah, the Crayfish is indeed prickly 😁.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your amazing comment as always πŸ€—πŸ€—.
