What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2024)?

[TastyReuben]

So how do you order soft creamy scrambled egg or an omelette which is soft inside.?

We are off topic...
.

Omelette, that one you probably wouldn’t in a diner, because there are so many different ways a diner omelette can be made here, you never really know what you’re going to get. You’re rather at the mercy of the cook.

Scrambled, you’d just ask to have them “loose” or “wet.”

Ok, some of the stuff we came back with:

We needed neither more cheese nor sausages, but there they are, just the same. The Duke’s sauce…I can get only their mayonnaise around my house (AFAIK), so I wanted to try that sauce. The apples were straight from an Amish orchard, two varieties (Zester & Paula Red), about a dozen each.

MrsT wanted the banana split jam, I wanted the butterscotch peanut butter. The black cherry jellybeans are very sour.

MrsT bought me the spiral thingy, though I really don’t want it, but I’ll try it out. The brittle-brackle is like peanut brittle, but much more crumbly and less sticky, so it’s good for folks like me, with lots of crowns on my teeth.

That’s my little sampler pack of seasonings, and some other goodies, and MrsT’s favorite sandals in there, for some reason.

Snacky-snacks, and two bags of chips/crisps didn’t make it home.

I'm intrigued by the Bruschetta Jack. What on earth is that?

Monterey Jack cheese with bruschetta-flavored bits in it. Ingredients list out tomatoes, garlic, basil, and parsley.

But bruschetta us simply toasted bread with a tomato and olive oil and gatlic topping. What makes it bruschetta is the toasted bread.

was going to walk a km uphill

Oh absolutely not. When can you get the car back?
My boyfriend got it after a week, now it is a relief.

It’s just duplicating some of the flavors of the tomato mixture that goes on top. Don’t overthink it - it’s not trying to capture every aspect of it.

I knew that really.

All of those figure in upcoming avocado dishes, and that represents the largest amount of avocados I’ve ever purchased in a single trip.

If you’d ever told me there would come a day when I’d get through six heads of romaine in a week (for two people), I’d have highly doubted your sanity.

that's how many avocados we buy every weekly shopping trip. For this challenge I reckon I'll need 4 or 5 each week at least.

I now have 8 avocados in various stages of ripeness.

$10 for four tomatoes, two bullhorn peppers, and an onion.

You can come and shop in my garden
Wish I could sell for that

…and you’d possibly even spot me a ginger beer!

How?
They only seem to ever come in bullet hard (and may never nicely ripen) or oh dear you missed the boat!
