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

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

A few edibles that we're bringing home with us.

Vegan Nutella i can't get in Australia, and didn't get as far as opening in the UK.

Braised tofu i love and can't get in Australia. My sister bought me some and have it to us on our last day.

We can get golden syrup in Australia, but it's brown and tastes different and the pikelets are not the same. We used to be able to buy Lyle's golden syrup when we first arrived but sadly we can't any more.

The same for our vegan stock powder. We've found that once it is opened, if we transfer it to a kilner jar, it stays fresh much longer. We can get it, but only through iHerb and it's pricey. We've not yet found an alternative.

The coffee is the obtaining instant coffee we like, so my mum stocked us up!

Finally the tea is a slightly long story of hubby trying to find a herbal tea in the UK that he liked, then forgetting to take it with him multiple times and having to but it again... no one else wanted it, so given how light it is, it came with us!

I saw that. I wasn't the one driving 1000 miles round trip to get it so I'm good. Boudin is an easy sausage recipe but I need to know what it tastes like to make it. I can easily work around/with the MSG.

Kroger & Aldi:

 

[badjak]

Shopping today
Fresh onions with leek & tomatoes on the side of the road
No plai yoghurt in the supermarket, so I opted for the (reduced price) lemon merenque
Then oranges & apples
Chicken feet for the boys, mixed cut pork for me
Rice for the boys
Red wine and gin
Dorito's hopefully for making nachos, but they may not survive that long
Loaf of bread (still warm)
Cucumbers
Dog food (kibble)
Sugar
Salt
2 baby jars of red curry paste (expensive and not a very good brand but haven't been able to find anything for a long time)
Soy sauce and
Cooking oil & mielie meal for my staff.

And that was most of my money gone, but I should be fine for some time again, except I forgot to buy tea

second day in a row I didn't leave the house, but we ordered strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries online.
Looks like a berry good day tomorrow.
More cream and an extra pot of coriander powder.

I was in a rush to today so I phoned an order through with my nearest butcher for 12 nice shoulder chops for Sunday family dinner.. chop casserole.
I picked them.up and was shocked to see it at $32.99 kg.. $76 f ..ing dollars.
I normally pay if buying a whole lamb $13 kg.
Won't be going back!!

I really need tea for breakfast and since Publix failed miserably with another item and Aldi is only 2 blocks down the street Aldi it was. Some more turkey for Pippi and a different cheese too.

Nothing purchased yet. I'm just about to go out for a ride with the wife - first time out in 3 days.

Do you have to wear the straightjacket in public?

No. I have to wheel the grandson around whilst my wife looks at every single dress in Marshall's, to then decide she doesn't like any of them.

I think my DH would rather pull his toenails out than go shopping with me. I just don't ask him to (do either).

This mornings harvest. The green one fell off getting off a bad one but I can use it in something tart somewhere.
