I make my own giardiniera and then add 2 or 3 different kinds of olives when I make olive salad.

I do something that makes New Orleaners cringe when I eat a muffaletta: I dip my sandwich in mustard

Here’s a seasoning for potatoes. Interesting, as
it has ginger in it. Not something I would normally use with potatoes.

So we had roast beef yesterday. Wife bought shop bought Yorkshire puds.
12 in a bag. Heat 5 mins at 190 deg c
I usually make my own but these were heaven. Drizzled with gravy. I cant make these any better. I'll be getting these again.

I'd never heard/tasted Yorkshire Pudding before my Grandmother re-married.
All holidays at their house was a roast, potatoes, vegetables and Yorkshire Pudding drowning in gravy... I recent discovered that Grandpa Ed was from England! He loved that Sunday Roast dinner and Grandma couldn't cook a lick, so she found a local restaurant to cater it

The best ever beef n puds we ever had was at a hotel we stayed in just out of Manchester. Huge puds 3 times what we had. We still talk about it 20 years later.

Sounds like our trip to the maratimes in Canada (Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) in 2014 where we had lobstah for $3.99 lb and a dog dish (big dog) sized bowl of diver scallops for $5...steamed and brought to our table on the deck overlooking the water with the lighthouse in the background. Sigh. Those days are long gone. If we went back I am sure they would still be cheaper than what we can get here, but I am also sure that the price probably tripled or more.

Big shopping trip today:
Clearance beer strikes again - that Bell’s is normally $11US…marked down to $4!
That’s the only canned pizza sauce I like. I also didn’t notice the banana peppers are “New! Italian seasoned!” - so I’m looking forward to that, and I don’t know when I last used ham base for something, but I need it for a recipe next weekend (SPD!).
Those are lemon plums next to the, well, lemons. I’d never had them before, so I bought some a couple of weeks ago, and they were fantastic, so I bought more. MrsT doesn’t like plums, so more for me!
How about a good leek story:
I was at Meijer, a place I might grocery-shop four times a year, and I always have trouble in their produce department, because everything is randomly laid out. For example, there’s lettuce in the back along the wall, other lettuce in a case in the middle of the area, and more lettuce on the end of a case in another part of the department. It’s mind-boggling.
I was looking for leeks, and as usual, couldn’t find them. I assumed they’d be with the green onions, etc., because that’s where Kroger puts them. Looked at the case with the green onions, no luck, and looked everywhere else, no luck.
I went back to the green onion area to look again (I’m notorious for missing things right in front of my face), and I still couldn’t find them. Luckily, there was a woman unpacking produce right next to where I was looking:
“Excuse me…can you tell me where the leeks are, or if maybe you’re out?”
“Yeah…uh…right here.”
She points to the fennel.
“No, that’s fennel.”
“Oh, right…ok…uh, here it is.”
She picks up a kohlrabi.
“That’s kohlrabi.”
“Ok, you got me. I don’t really know what leeks are.”
My first time buying Thai chili peppers. I know nothing about them or how hot they are, but the rice recipe I’m making tomorrow calls for them. I needed just two, but they’re so small, I couldn’t buy just two. That’s maybe 15 peppers…28 cents.
I really thought I was going to have to go to the gourmet shop for Irish sausages (also for my SPD recipe next weekend), and…BAM!…there they were, at Meijer’s.
Also, I hate buying that shredded mozzarella, but it’s getting harder and harder to find whole milk mozzarella in blocks/bricks here.

Also bought this (well, two - one for MrsT’s friend):
It remains to be seen whether I’ll be allowed to break the seal and eat the shortbread inside.

Shortbread is the easiest thing in the world to make . Any tin with a picture of the Queen on it must cost about 10 times more than making it yourself!It remains to be seen whether I’ll be allowed to break the seal and eat the shortbread inside.
