A lil' green for my vase... :)

One of the best things about being in Vizag is the fresh veggie market, twice a week. Yup- thatz how interesting things get around here! ;)
Itz a haze of colors - all bright & fresh - green, orange, green, purple, green, white, red, green.. well, i just meant that the greens top them all ;) And all this being amazingly low priced. The 'amma' selling spring onions yelled out an offer of 3 fresh bundles for Rs.10. I didn't really need 3 bulky bundles & tried asking for 1 - but got a stiff response of 3 or none! Guess we screwed up with our confident local dialect. ;) To cut things short, the fresh green stalks & me fell in love & had to be brought home.. couldn't really bear the thought of crushing & suffocating them in the fridge & T suggested popping them into a vase - which is where they are resting & being sacrificed, as & when craved for by the flavor sucking kitchen. Uh-huh.. not a pretty thought.. but - don't they look pretty?... :)
