Did I deliberately route us out of the way past the best tomato selling farm shop?
Oh yes

OMG. Tomato Heaven!

Not amused with this delivery.
Chose loose portabello mushroom to save on packaging.
They arrived in a plastic bag (that did look and feel like a biodegradable bag) however the mushrooms were wet, slimy and damaged from sweating.
Expect better from Waitrose. Heyho.

Sooo
It's cabbage season and I bought 2 beautiful looking specimens
Tonight, cabbage salad
Earlier today I made pickled cabbage, 1 set with chili, coriander, and some other stuff, 1 without.
I read that cabbage is good for dogs, so they are getting.
Made another batch of sauerkraut and nasi goreng tomorrow.
Plus a lot to my staff.
And all that for just over 1 U$

I hope you've reported it.

Not yet, fully intended to and forgot!

Agreed.
You mentioned vegetables, so I thought other than coeliac, which is definitely demamding...anyways, for me it is a lot of raw garlic e.g., but I can fry, or cook or bake it, and it's easier on me.

I use roasted or semi-roasted garlic a lot in place of raw. It really mellows out the harshness.

Sounds absolutely cool. Where is it, if I may ask?

Oh yes, definitely, it's a saviour.
Yesterday with my simple kale dish,the garlic was sauteéd and boiled, and it went down well.

I always forget to take pictures when I'm done shopping.
Mainly because I'll be tired, hot & bothered by then and just pack everything away asap.

Anyway
Last shop was oranges, apples, garlic, potatoes, cabbages and butternut
Plus olive oil (or was that the time before?), red wine, raw peanuts, yoghurt and meat (beef neck, pork mixed cut and bones)

Up north in England.
They were the oldest sweet shop in England but no-one can find an older sweet shop in the world so I think the Guinness book of records has given them the uncontested title.
