My favorite vegetable sale and a rich creamed pumpkin for a change.

How are my dear friends of read.cash, I hope your weekend is more calm and relaxed than mine; the truth is that I have been doing a lot of things, it seems unbelievable but when the Christmas season approaches the work triples. Today my husband and I woke up very early, the truth is that there was no time to cuddle a little bit in bed or anything, as soon as the phone alarm rang we jumped out of bed and got up early to do our things and take advantage of the time. The first thing we had planned was to go to the vegetables, I tell you that everything was very expensive, the kilo of onion, paprika everything was very expensive, you do not know if you really surprised or see it as something normal.

***Santo Cristo de la Grita" vegetable fair in Guatire, Miranda State.*** I present to you the vegetable fair where we go to buy every 8 days and we bring the best brought directly from the field. Every week we try to vary a little according to what I plan to cook that week, for example this week we bought broccoli and cauliflower because I already had in mind to prepare the recipe, but another day I can bring beets to make salad with potatoes and cooked carrots or we can also bring pumpkin to prepare creams or cakes, whatever it is all the vegetables here in this place are fresh and delicious. The best of all is that they always nourish and provide the vitamins and other nutrients that our body needs. This fair is located just 10 minutes from my house, I love to go there very early, every Saturday we go there at 7:00 in the morning. The people who attend are super attentive, and they are always replacing the vegetables and filling the containers with more. I feel like I'm in my hometown in the Andes when I go there because I can choose everything to my liking and there is always a variety.

For many years the Gochos fairs have become a favorite of all Venezuelans, every 8 days they visit us and bring us the best of the best. As for the prices you can say that they vary a lot, but in reality you can spend up to 20 dollars a week or much more; the truth is that we only buy the most necessary or what we plan to cook during the week.

I am the number one lover of vegetables, I love to eat them every day and at all times. As I have already told you on several occasions I am from the countryside and since we were little we were taught to eat all kinds of vegetables; today I am remembering when my dad used to make recipes with chard, or cook us sweet potato or jojoto, he always cooked us different things from what my mom used to give us.

*****Making a delicious pumpkin cream***** ***And how do we make it?*** The first thing we have to do is to choose the best pumpkin or squash in the market, you can find a lot of variety but you should always choose the yellowest if you want your cream to shine on the plate and on the table.

>The pumpkin contains calcium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, phosphorus, vitamins A, C and B, soluble fiber and beta-carotene. The seeds are rich in carbohydrates, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins A, K, C, B, E and D complex and provide calcium, potassium, niacin and phosphorus. As you can see, pumpkin contains many properties and benefits for our organism, it is excellent for children and even more so if they are growing. The preparation is very easy and very basic, we peel all the uyama, wash it very well and cut it into small pieces, as much as you can to make cooking fast and not spend a lot of gas, then we put it to cook with enough water, but not so much that it is flush, then we season it with whatever you have in the fridge, a piece of chili, pepper and celeri would be perfect, do not forget to add a little salt. Let it cook for about 15 minutes and it's ready.

This cream is my family's favorite, I like to make it once a week and see their happy faces when they try it, I can tell they really enjoy it and I know because they always ask for seconds. I invite you to eat vegetables, teach your children from an early age to eat them, this will help them to a healthy growth and they will be like Popeye the sailor who ate a lot of spinach, remember? Well friends, I say goodbye, the truth is that I felt very good today telling you a little bit about myself, my customs, my country. I hope you continue having a happy Sunday, bye. *****"Spice up your life"*****
