I imagine you buy these cheap as chips from your markets? Wouldn't be worth growing would it??
I don't know what they are worth here.??

Those were A$5.80/kg because they are specialist (the normal Thai markets don't sell them). There is just over half kilo there. The Thai hot chillis are between A$3.00 and A$4.00/kg in the markets.

The exchange rate for NZ$ is not much different than A$.

Extra early prep for a recipe I will make in two months or so, if I don’t kill these plants before then. I also bought a Thai basil plant. We spent the afternoon at a nursery, something I would’ve thought of as boring before.

I always feel like a pauper reading your lists. But we do live well as well. You just buy more. Although thinking about it my daughter who buys for her son all sorts of food. She has 5 bags of god knows what In our laundry. I only recently saw them, chips,nuts, sweets. 5 bags of it. She also has two racks in our fridge for them both. Fruit for Africa.!!

I felt like a pauper after today - that hunk of rib roast, just two ribs, so a bit over 3lbs...nearly $70US! It's our anniversary tomorrow, though, so that's ok, and you know you can trust the butcher when you ask for a three-rib roast, and he first tries to talk you into a cheaper cut of meat, and then asks how many you're feeding, and talks you into just two ribs. That's money out of his pocket.

I'm using this one:

Prime Rib Roast Recipe

The reason is because while it's resting, I can use that time to do the roast potatoes and the pud. Used to, going the traditional way, it was either cold meat or cold potatoes.

Oh sambal is a real Indonesian staple. Many families have their own recipe, but there is really good quality ready made sambal for sale here so I usually buy it.

And I am cooking a fancy Indonesian meal tonight so Krupuk is an essential side. Think you know them as prawn crackers?
