Our first full day on Bali was spent at a market tour and cooking lesson with the lovely family behind the Lobong Culinary Experience. After having thoroughly enjoyed myself when I did the class with Meghan and Liz, I put it on the top of the list of things to do with Martha.
Ladies selling produce and working on palm frond baskets (maybe for offerings/cangansari) during the down time:
Big knife:
Beautiful flowers for sale for use in cangansari:
Balinese women excel at carrying stuff on their heads... tough chicks:
Pak Sang Made, the host of our market tour and cooking class. He's holding some pakis, which are young ferns gathered in the wild for a Balinese salad that I am mildly obsessed with: urap pakis. The salad has the fern tips, freshly shaved coconut and lots of lovely spices:
The banana leaves that frequently serve as cooking vessel, serving dish and decor:
Wayang (puppets):
This lady was the cutest:
These look like limes, but they're actually super sweet Indonesian oranges:
And these are chickens:
This tailor, who does sewing and alterations at the market, was also in the same spot the last time I wandered through this market:
Old-school scales and unappetizing meat cutting board:
Martha cannot keep her eyes open:
