Audrey's turn at the keyboard
Today it is friday the 18th of May, and today we did a lot of things. I mean, really the day isn't even close to over, 'cause its 12:10 at lunch. So, this morning, i woke up at 9:45 and i had some Frosties® from Ha Noi, then i waited for my vietnamese class to show up and i waited and waited and waited then at 10:20 they arrived and i brushed my hair quickly 'cause i forgot to do it before when i was waiting forever. We had our class and talked about legos-i have some because we bought it yesterday at the mall-then my class finished and mom asked me if i wanted to go to the market and i said ''nahh'' but about a quarter of a second later i said ''yeah actshully''.
So me and mom went to the market and first, we were walking by and a fruit seller yelled to us,''ay!'' and we looked and there, right in front of me about 7 feet away, were rambutans!!! i was SOOO happy. i haven't eaten a rambutan in about 3 months! i love that taste of yummy rambutans! so we got a huge bag of rambutans and the lady who sold them to us mumbled in vietnamese and pointed toword the pinapple. We thought that she was pointing to the peanuts right beside the pineapple (and the pineapple was behind the peanut stand) so i said to mom, ''i wonder if they're cooked'' and mom said ''i don't know, maybe''. Then after we bought the rambutans, mom saw the pineapple and we soon reolized that she was actshually pointing to the pineapple. Then we bought 2 pineapples and headed off to the vegitable\meat\fish area and we had bought potatoes, garlic and onion. Then we had seen at the stand we were buying at, right beside us were really really really un-ripe pineapple. They were SOOO green. I didn't want to think of how bad it would taste! uulgh! 
Then we went over by the meat. We saw pork-everything. Pork-intestins, pork-feet, pork-tail,pork-snout, pork-ears, pork-face, pork-liver, pork-EVERYTHING! Then we had bought our meat and walked a bit, then we saw chicken eggs! yay! we usually eat duck eggs! i dont like duck eggs at all. I like chicken eggs way more than DuCk eggs! So we bought the chicken eggs and some rice and 2 coconuts. Then as we were walking mom's bag for the coconuts broke and we had to carry them by hand. when we were also still walking i said to mom ''weren't we suposed to buy water also?'' then we had an idea that we could come back later and get some.
thats what happened to day so far.

Now I'm curious--what's so unappealing about duck eggs?
--Lydia
They're yucky. They are okay if mom uses them to make french toast. But hard boiled is gross.
[Mother's note: They do taste a little different, more intense flavor. They are the most common kind of egg that is sold and are much larger than the chicken eggs (all are what would sell as 'small'). Funny thing is she didn't care until she found out that they are duck eggs. Then magically they got yucky. ha!]
Okay Audrey, I give up. What is a rambutan?
GREAT POST AUDREY ! Look out Mom you got compettion ! I agree, what is a rambutan ? Quack Quack , never tried duck eggs but I would guess they are just darker yolks and maybe a slight but stronger taste. What kind of meat did you buy on this trip to the market ? I hope not the "yukie" stuff, I know htat they eat just about every part of the pig there.
Keep up the good work Audrey
ps: went to grandma "c" for mothers day and a few extra days and she is doing great, she had an iron shot and a b-12 shot and she feels like a new person again. Showed her the flicer photos and she got big smiles over them. Stopped ad Dad's shop also and he is doing "great".

A fruit that looks like an eyeball when you peel it. It is squishy and wet and they have a big seed right in the middle of the squish. The outside is red and pokey. Here's a picture.
