Seems a paltry offering after all those fantastic ingredients but on the upside it’s for a the caper recipe challenge. I usually skip the black garlic due to the price of it and just use normal garlic but as it’s you guys I’m pushing the boat out 😂

Well so long as I remember to pack it 😂

My main issue with black garlic is that both my hubby and I can happily eat the cloves straight from the pot/jar, so they rarely actually get used in anything! :whistling:

@TastyReuben what do you use maple flakes for?

I have no idea, I’ve never seen those before. Here, maple comes in syrup and candy form, and that’s about it.

What are you planning on doing with it? MrsT would probably sprinkle those on ice cream, or just eat those with a spoon right from the jar.

Lol. When I was reading the reviews for it someone asked "How long does it last once opened?" followed by hundreds of answers saying not long, you can't stop eating it!

Where was that? I have only ever eaten alligator tail before. Curious how the rest of it tastes. I gather that MrsT wouldn't be up for it, LOL!

Jungle Jim’s, and I’m not up for it either! :laugh:
 
I don't think the rest of it is something you would want to eat, too many bones to work around, kind of like chicken feet, which was a 1 and done for me, as was alligator tail. Maybe neck and backstrap would be easy to eat, but, again, alligator wasn't something I will knowingly put in my mouth again.

Make stunning blue rice with the butterfly pea flowers.
 
Here come some grocery pics:

First of local (greenhouse) tomatoes:

This is only the second time I’ve bought proper anchovies (not counting paste):
IMG_4525.jpeg



Never saw those sandwich cookies before, and we were talking about iced tea, and look at that…cold-brewed tea bags from Twinings:
IMG_4526.jpeg

That milk, unfortunately, has a pinhole in it and is leaking, so I’ll run that back into town in the next day or two and swap it for another one.
 
But wait, there’s more:

Three types of apples, none of which are available at Kroger: (Magic, Lemonade, Twist):

I’ll add that I pulled a typical Tasty move - I had a pocket full of paper coupons, something I’ve fallen out of the habit of using, but they expired today, so I used them to buy several of the items above…and then forgot to give them to the checkout person. I got to chatting with her (she started it) and it completely slipped my mind. 😭

I'm the ultimate poor boy who has " stuff" now but ballet and the arts are not my thing. Wife just told me this morning , funny thing happened at the ballet last night. Near the end someone had a low beeping noise coming from them. Everyone was leaving and the noise was from a woman wearing an ankle bracelet. She was arrested when leaving the theater.
Dont get me wrong, my kids have been bought up with the arts etc. They appreciate stuff like that.
We have 2 watercolors worth a lot of money, bought on my wifes advice 30 years ago.
