What's a fry pie?
Any idea how those are made?

A fry pie is to a slice of fruit pie like a calzone is to a slice of pizza. It’s a piece of pie in a closed crust that’s fried (in a skillet, usually) and is something you don’t need a fork to eat, you just eat it out of hand, like a pastie. They’re also called hand pies.

The closest commercial version would be a Hostess Fruit Pie:

Amazon

They’re considered a signature Amish dessert/snack and are very popular here.

I think I’ll be making a coconut cake for Easter.

Very excited to try those oranges, those are new here. Kroger had Hellman’s mayonnaise at buy-1-get-1-free, but ALDI’s was still cheaper.

These just about count as produce as the salt and pepper were included.
I spotted these while at dunelm yesterday - I've been keeping an eye out for a non-plastic juicer, and was pleased to spot this one complete with glass collection jar.
And a salt and pepper set to go next to the cooker are just cute! My salt pig got stained with oil as it was bare terracotta and it won't wash off (grr)
I love the smell of freshly ground black pepper, but this crushed pepper smells really strong, whew!

I can only do fresh ground pepper!
 
Yesterday I picked up a couple of family-sized packages of (Black Angus) premium burger blend from a local grocery store called Giant Eagle. Well it's regional, but only found in 3 states to my knowledge (Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana). Anyway it was only $1.99 lb so when I get home from work tonight I will break out the cryovac and break it down into small packages for the freezer.

That's a really good price! Usually for ground meat I'll get an assortment of stew meat when it's on sale and grind it myself. Where I need fat I'll grind in some bacon.
