Shop for kitchen necessities at the nearest traditional market
Today I decided to go to the market alone. With a simple intention and spirit, my main goal was to buy some fresh food for my family's needs at home. Although I am usually accompanied by my wife, this time I wanted to give her some time to rest, while also helping her prepare the kitchen needs.

Arriving at the market, I went straight to the beef seller. After carefully selecting fresh and suitable cuts, I finally bought beef for 160,000 IDR. This meat will later be processed by my wife into a special dish to eat together at home. After that, I continued my search to the seafood section and bought fresh shrimp for 80,000 IDR. Shrimp is one of the favorite ingredients at home, especially for cooking sambal goreng or simple stir-fries that are appetizing.

Don't forget I also bought a fresh chicken for 70,000 IDR. This fresh chicken is planned to be cooked by my wife into crispy fried chicken or maybe red spiced chicken, depending on her cooking idea later at home. All the ingredients I bought this time were really for the needs of eating together with our small family at home. There is nothing more enjoyable than watching all family members sit together enjoying a warm meal made by themselves.
When I arrived home, my wife was ready to welcome me with a warm smile. She immediately welcomed my shopping and started preparing to process it into a delicious dish. Our little daughter also seemed happy to see the fresh shopping brought by her father. Simple moments like this feel very special, because they show attention and togetherness in my little family.
Shopping to the market this time may sound ordinary, but for me this is a simple form of love. When every ingredient I buy is cooked and enjoyed together, that is where the true happiness of a family lies. Hopefully I can continue to do moments like this, as a form of my responsibility and love for my loved ones at home.
