We stopped at four places. At the market with the corn, they were bringing it in fresh from the field. The strawberry jam was made in-shop with their own strawberries as well.

We went to the farmers market yesterday. Almost out of honey so picked up some Florida wildflower honey, 36 ounces for $17. Craig used to buy it from a place where honey was the by product, they made beeswax candles. That was pre accident though and it's too far away to make a trip just for honey. It started out years ago at 13 for a half gallon, but was up to 21 the last time he bought it.

Also picked up some Silver Queen corn and peaches from New Jersey. Baby bok choy for a Ramen bowl. Craig picked out some beautiful poblanos and tomatillos. A pretty little red bell as well. Only things growing here now are natives and other hot weather friendly fruits and veges.

I had a terrible time finding tomatillos this week. I found some at Sprouts, but they looked like they fell off the truck on the way to the store. Kroger had some that were decent, but no impressive. I need them for an egg challenge entry -- hopefully not the same dish you bought yours for. :wink:

I haven't had Jersey white corn since we moved away in 1971. That stuff was good.

He doesn't know what he's making with the anchos and tomatillos yet.

ETA: He just decided. He's going to take 1 of the pieces of brisket we had to trim off to get the right size for the Cook's Country snake method when we grilled/smoked the brisket and braise it with the above.

Earlier I had to go to an Indian shop, to buy paneer and I literally stumbled onto the original date and tamarind chutney I havnt been able to find. I bought two jars, this stuff is the best ever, the substitutes I've been using are ok , but this stuff is good. The more I think about it I need to go back and buy more. It's that good.
Maybe tomorrow while I'm out with the butcher.

I´ve got no idea how tamarind arrived in Venezuela, but it´s here; there are trees everywhere. I go to the supermarket and buy blocks of tamarind paste, which I convert into my own Tamarind Chutney. OMG - just too good .
I wasn´t going shopping today, but decided I was a bit short of unsalted butter, which I bought from my local grocery store and used to make chocolate-covered shortbread.

I also have a block of it, it's good but this stuff is next level. Once tried it is loved, all my grandkids love it as well. We used to get it at a place that was demolished due to quakes.
I'll keep it just in case? The block that is, it's in the fridge.

I always had to go to "the big Kroger" 40 minutes away to get it or pancetta. It's the Private Selection brand, which will do in a pinch.

Still can't get pancetta in town, but maybe soon.
