What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2025)?

Ooooohhhh! Red jalapeños! They're divine; sweet, spicy and perfect for making pepper jelly or for stuffing.

Yes!!! I *always* have red jalapeños. They're like running water and lights!

There's only one store, Morelo's Market, that consistently has south of the border produce. My Mom looks at me like WTH when she comes down and sees cactus, nopal, leaves in the fridge. 😉
 
I picked up 1/2 gallon of whole pasteurized milk when at Walmart earlier and now have two ingredients instead of one. First try, that worked, for making mozzarella and I've got a nice, almost full, jug of salted whey to use making bread.

After these, 10 oz., cooled off a bit in the fridge they feel like mozzarella. They certainly don't look like anything you'd buy but they're a bit more than 50% cheaper than buying. Need to work on the process; made a mess...

The messy step...

I may just have to sacrifise 1 litre yoghurt to do something similar.
I'll read up on it later today.
I think I got rennet somewhere hiding in the fridge. Can that expire?
I bought it for someone else, but they never came to collect

Search engine says it can expire. Bit of a read here. Whats the plan with the yogurt?
 
Neither of these procurements are mine, but I thought I’d post these here for the people who like this sort of thing:

Those are both from my brother, and the second one is a big deal around here, as it’s currently mushroom*-hunting season here, which is treated like a combination sport and religion…spreligion?

People around here have been known to get into physical altercations, up to and including gunfire, to protect their secret morel-hunting spots. Trespassing and subterfuge are the norms. As they say around here, “All’s fair in love and war…and mushroom-hunting - now git before I shoot ya!”






*In a foraging/hunting context, “mushroom” and “morel” are synonymous around here - pretty much no one forages or hunts for any other type of mushroom except for morels.
