Is Your Kitchen a Market?

I gave an Oprah magazine to Blessing that she shared with the students at her sewing shop. While I thought they would study the fashion section, they poured over EACH photo and headline. What is this? Is that a fruit? What is that? Then they came to an article about one family spending their food budget wisely by buying in bulk. The photo showed their bargain purchases stacked on the counter, table, and floor. What is that – a market? I had to explain to these girls who basically live day by day, meal by meal, that this was just an American kitchen filled with things one family purchased. Their jaws dropped and eyes widened in disbelief. I dreaded the question that wasn’t asked: Is YOUR kitchen a market?
