Avocado and leek stuffed cantaloupe??? Is that Hawaiian???

 

[Barriehie]

A great umami flavour laced with malt vinegar - made from whole young green walnuts. You can make your own if you have a walnut tree or can gather them wild: Pickled Walnuts Recipe - How to Make Pickled Walnuts | Hank Shaw

Hey, so these walnuts are usually falling off the tree around Thanksgiving. Do you think they're still green enough to harvest and pickle? The limbs are weighted enough they're getting easier to get.

(Without ramming my truck into it like msmofet said... )

Sprouts Farmers Market was the only place that had them here in Cowboyville Arizona

Those are some fine looking leeks. Last time I got some at Wally World they were $3.99 for 3.

The Avo is for Taco Tuesday, I'm going to make Grilled Cod Tacos with all of the accompaniments.
Leeks for the Challenge, never had them before, nor cooked with them so ...
The Cantaloupe will be diced and then each chunk wrapped in Prosciutto for DH's lunch/afternoon snack plate.

I knew you had a plan! Leeks are pretty straightforward. Don't forget the EPWR...

I got them 20% off - all organic produce is on sale at Sprouts. So those two cost me a whopping $1.26 !!!

Just a funny story:

When DH & I first moved to "The Mainland" after retiring, I was hunting high and low for a Farmers Market to get fresh produce.
I looked on the internet for "farmers markets" and Sprouts was the first thing that came up.
I Google Mapped it, found it and it's like a grocery store... love the place!
I've been shopping there for almost all of our fresh produce there ever since.

I wondered how everyone seems to have beef tallow on hand.
Surely they all can't be rendering their own.

Well I have never purchased it before, and I do have some in the freezer that I made. I tend to use bacon grease more often. That I have handy in the refrigerator.

The first few times I visited family in Phoenix and a friend in So California, I found Sprouts. Avocados were consistently 3/$1 or even 4/$1. I was hooked! Wish we had one here.
