Bolg entry 22: Food project

I went to farmer market on yesterday at union square.   I accompanied with ping.   I have been live in New York approximately two years, but this is my first time see the farmer market.  When I arrived there, I saw many people are shopping.  I walked around and saw more food.  There were many vegetable which I cannot recognize.  I was curious for these unfamiliar foods.  At there, food seems are very flesh and original.  Such as vegetable, tomato juice, apple and honey.  Many potted plant are very attractive for me.  It was spent my little time to choose one plant.  At the end, I bought a lemon plant because I like the smell of lemon leaf. I also bought a bottle of honey and sweet snap peas. 
On night, I cooked the food I bought.  I shelled pea and scooped the pea from inside.  I stir-fry these peas.  I poured a little salt and monosodium glutamate.  Then, I had done.  I asked my mother to eat and told me how taste was.  My mother said the taste is very good.  I was happy for the result. 
Through this experience, I realize there are many food I never see it original appearance.  Most food I see was lost their original appearance in supermarket.  Like the sweet pea, I did not know pea I eat at usual is come from the sweet snap pea.  I learned something. I also have much fun in this experience.
