My food-day started early and with black coffee, hot and no sugar, as usual.

I served arepas, cold beef, mozzarella sticks, and carrot salad for breakfast.

The salad was grated carrot and chopped spring onions with a light homemade mayonnaise dressing and a teaspoon of sugar.

There are still treasures to be exhumed in the freezer. Today we found frozen strawberries as a product of the morning excavations.

The first thing I wanted to do with them was the obvious: make a smoothie. But just as I was starting to blend, the washer holding the blades burst. The noise was unpleasant, like a screeching sound along with crushing stones. Goodbye smoothie. Welcome regular juice. I strained the mixture and served it over ice. It was still very good.

We took advantage of the refreshing vigor of the strawberry juice to go out to meet the inclement sun of my hometown in search of fresh fish. We bought cojinovas and vermilion snappers (the little and cheap version os red snappers).

On our way home, we stopped at El Gran Surtidor to pick up some apple bananas @reinamia had harvested. I was surprised to see how well stocked the establishment is. The service is excellent and the place is neat and beautiful (I bought coke). You pay however you want, except with salt: debit, cash, biopago, crypto, etc.

They are creamy and sweet with a touch of citrus. Delicious. And they were of a good size, too. My husband and my father were delighted. A really good harvest. Thank you for sharing this delight with me and my family, @reinamia. And don't forget you are free to do it again anytime, lol.

For lunch, my husband wanted chicken soup, but I was craving for fish soup, and vermilion snappers happen to make a most delicious broth, so I made two soups.

Chicken soup.

And fish soup.

Who says you can't make everyone happy? Sometimes, you can.

We had citrus cake and coffee for dessert.

And in the evening, I turned to my good friend pita bread. I put mozzarella cheese and a few pieces of bacon on top and baked it in the oven. Easy.

This was mine. I ate it all. Unless I take up exercise, I'll never fit in my pants again.

And these were the highlights of my food-day. I hope you had a great one, too.
