Doctor Who Drabble: Bazaar

[bk_forever]

Title: Bazaar
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Martha Jones, Tenth Doctor.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 395: Market at dw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Alien marketplaces are full of wonders.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




Martha has never seen anything like this. It’s fantastic; exactly how she imagines a Middle-Eastern bazaar must look. Stalls everywhere, selling everything imaginable, from colourful fabrics to spices, livestock to jewellery, technology to foods… The smells are indescribable.


There are fresh fruits, skewers of meat cooking over grills, piles of cakes and confectioneries and what might be cheeses. Martha wants to sample everything, but when she moves towards a stall selling something spicy the Doctor stops her.


“I wouldn’t, not unless you want to turn blue and have all your hair fall out. Some things aren’t meant for human consumption.”

I've only been through a phase on putting on weight, but it was due to eating many omelettes and emotionally eating on popcorn. Which is not healthy.:(

I was told to put on weight by eating more protein based foods. Like my thought processes doesn't allow me to gain weight. I don't know. I just believe it's a genetic thing. Any weight I do put on goes to the wrong parts of my body.*my butt*

I don't want to overthink it because there are people who are in poverty. We are lucky to eat and have options. Even if it is not a perfect diet.

As long as you try to eat reasonably healthily you should be okay.

I can't eat a lot of meat so I get my protein from yogurt, eggs, and cheese, all in moderation. I do have meat occasionally, and fish most weeks, but the mobile fishmonger can't come while the country' on lockdown so there goes another source of food I can eat. I can't abide frozen fish, it's horrible, and the fresh fish in the town's fishmongers isn't very fresh, there are usually flies crawling on it which put me off.

So I guess you could eat foods that vegetarians/vegans would stick with. That's similar to what I do. Why must we eat heavy fatty foods to fill full?

Fresh is always best as well as food hygiene. No matter who you are.

My cat's loved it when I gave them fresh fish. That was when they were still kittens. Later on I just gave them the dry/wet cat food.

I don't mean to compare you to a cat. I sometimes ate tuna and my cats would want that too.:)

[bk_forever]

I like tuna!

But no, I can't eat a vegetarian diet since leafy green vegetables are out and a number of other vegetables are out, along with grain products, which I can only have in very small amounts. No bread, pasta, or breakfast cereals. I just have a very seriously restricted diet.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

That's tough. I guess you just "jazz up" your tuna. There are many ways to eat one type of food.

[bk_forever]

But nor=t that many things I can eat that go with tuna...

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I suppose your right. It's basically a selection of salad, sandwich, pasta or last resort...seaweed aka sushi.

[bk_forever]

Seaweed is a green leafy veg though, so that's out, and I'm not eating sushi, it's all pre-packed here. I can't eat bread or pasta, so that leaves tuna n its own or with crackers.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. It really is that limited. I don't mean to intrude.*hugs*

[bk_forever]

Yes, it really is. =(

Maybe focusing on your vitamin intake could help.*pats shoulder*

[bk_forever]

I'm intolerant of some vitamins too, can't take any of the B vitamins.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I think it would be easier for both of us if you told me what you could have. Otherwise, it doesn't matter.:D

I know it's complicated. Since I found my own diet a challenge describing it to people.

[bk_forever]

Doesn't really matter, I eat what I can it, and over the last few years there have bee more and more foods I've become intolerant to. This is just something I have to cope with s best I can. I'm resigned to it.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

*hands over virtual dark chocolate*

[bk_forever]

At least I'm not intolerant of virtual foods!

Veronica Mars: That's the spirit!

I'm sorry if you don't know the reference but hope the meaning counts for something.

[bk_forever]

It does, even though I've never watched Veronica Mars.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Cool. It was compared to the series "Buffy" even though it's a different genre. Joss Whedon guessed stared on "Veronica Mars".

BTW: I just notice that I replied the same message twice a while back. So weird I didn't see that until now.*shrugs*

[bk_forever]

I think it's a glitch of some kind. I keep getting multiple copies of messages, when I get them at all...

Had to go to my LJ inbox to find these.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Okay. I thought I did that by mistake. I couldn't get into my Gmail account at first and then second try. Third times the charm.

[bk_forever]

Maybe the internet is getting overwhelmed with too many people using it all at once, lol!

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

You're probably right.:)

In the meantime, I found a pdf file on my phone that I thought was lost. The things that happen when you're not trying to look for something.

[bk_forever]

Yay for finding something! It's always good when something you thought was lost turns up again!
