At any rate, please forewarn your daughter that organic vegetables in Manila are few and far between, she will not be thrilled with the selection thought it is getting better... there is also a lot of greenhouse grown greens that are in theory organic, but tend to be less tasty.

Well, I found an answer for her. Thanks for the info. Now for a different topic.. anybody knows about Pansit-pansitan? It is supposed to be an herb. They said it has many medicinal purpose. I brought some seeds here in th States and planted them. Was successful and for 3 years in a row, ang hirap patayin, I mean they come back every summer. I took care of it, but then on some Vietnamese groceries, they started selling them in bunches, mas healthy kesa sa variety of my plant, so I just abandoned mine, and some other bigger plants overcrowded it till it dies. Now, I have moved to another location here in Texas, and that same grocery stores does not sell them anymore. Does anybody knows about this Pansit-Pansitan?

I ended up with local mozzarella, fresh basil and some watercress from the Lung Center Market, by the way. Will make a fresh tossed salad tonight.

Good food will get you up and about in no time! Just wanted to tell you that after I asked you months ago about grafting the makrut lime tree at our office, our very kind maintenance man gifted me with a small grafted sapling! It is now happily nestled in my Mama's garden in Tagaytay. Hope it grows into a tree! Hi, MM! Good food will get you up and about in no time!
