It was a nice Sunday for a little drive as it was a little too cool to walk around and there was not enough sunshine for many outdoor activities. We crossed the Fraser River on the stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge and proceeded to the Newton area of Surrey. The Colombo Store is a small market about a half hour from our apartment. It sells items and foodstuff primarily from Sri Lanka.
Just this morning, I used up the last from a jar of jam on my toast. Luckily, woodapple jam is a favourite in Sri Lanka and the store carries plenty of MD products. I've tried to explain the slightly strong, musty flavour to others, but always end up saying that it tastes ... well ... like a woodapple!
Jay had in mind to buy some horse gram, a tropical southern Asia legume, but we always find a number of products to pick up that are not on our list. On Sundays, we can also buy small bakery items that are sold freshly made.
Going to the Colombo Store was a fine way to finish up a Sunday morning.
