Still isolating in the master suite (4 more days) and when I called my partner to bring me a snack I found he’d eaten all the snacks. So I complained to our daughter when she called to see how I was & she left me a bag of treats on her way home from work.
" Beans, beans,
Good for your heart,
The more you eat,
The more you....."
Enjoy them.

Those Heinz beans were a purely sentimental purchase. They were stacked up right at the entrance and for a microsecond, I thought I was back in the UK, so I just instinctively grabbed a tin…er, can." Beans, beans,

The more you....."
Enjoy them.

It's baked in the jar for several hours, so it's sterile inside.

Yeah. I know the science behind it. I’m just impressed by it.
A few of the things I bought at the store. I'm going to cook the Sausages and Chicken on the grill (BBQ) tomorrow, and have them during the week. The lamb is for dinner tomorrow. The Texas 1015 jumbo size onion and the red bell pepper will be sautéed for sausage and peppers sandwiches on brat rolls (not shown).

Grocery shopping this morning.
1kg kilo of red/purple onions for $2
A decent sized wombok cabbage for $3
A 2.3kg whole chicken for $11
1kg tomatoes for $5.50
Bagged salad leaves $2
That’s about it for fresh stuff.
Spent more than double the budget and there’s still stuff we are going to need but everything here has gone up by a significant amount in the last 3 months. Between fires, floods, Covid, and fuel costs I’m not sure how people are going to keep eating.
Next weekend I’m going to make a big pot of soup using the ham bone I froze at Xmas and all the carrot, onion, fennel & celery trimmings I have in the freezer. Once the stock is done I’ll freeze half and use the rest for a lentil and bean soup.

Those prices (in translation to sterling) seem quite reasonable to me.

That was the cheapest stuff available.
The other cabbage varieties were $8 a head.
That’s very expensive for tomatoes - we’ve just reached the end of the season & they should be $2kg or so for a few weeks in March.

Today's haul:
4 eggs (so far, presumably more later).
At the feed store: 1 bag of layer feed for chickens.
At the gas station. I have to feed the car a periodic allotment of petrol.

At the supermarket:
- 1 large container of whole milk, plain yogurt. (I am wondering why!)
- A small amount of soft goat cheese.
- A bag of mini bell peppers, yellow to red. (My plan is to invent an appetizer with mini peppers stuffed with goat cheese and a few other things probably already here, cook and serve. This would be a test run.)
- Green onions aka scallions (One will likely end up in the stuffed pepper concept mentioned above.)
- 1 bottle of rum, yo ho ho, avast ye mateys!
- A pack of bone in-skin on chicken thighs. This was an impulse buy - it was in the "Day's Discount Section", and the price was stunningly good.
- 1 lemon. I have a few others here already, but I have thoughts...
- A small pack of grape tomatoes. This is for a salad recipe I'd actually hoped to get around to a fair while ago, and which would have fit into the cabbage competition.
- 2 avocadoes. One will go to a dressing for the above salad.
- 1 pack of soft tortillas. I have a severe hankering for quesadillas.
- 1 small pack of fresh cilantro. See quesadillas. i also have another recipe I want to try where more of it can be used. (Part of the other cabbage recipe I never got around to making).
- Low sodium gluten-free tamari. I am out, and I use it a lot.
- Mirin. Ditto.
- 1 really nice eggplant. I have plans for it to become intimate with some of the yogurt.
- 1 bar of Lindt 85% cocoa chocolate. (Standing in the checkout lane impulse buy).
Its the hypnotic effect of CookingBites...
I have some of those right now and I'm not sure what I'm doing with them
I like your phraseology. I'm also thinking about aubergine and youghurt.
