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

My brother, who fancies himself a pizza king, challenged me to make something edible using a Chef Boyardee pizza kit.

Coffees are the two light roast whole Starbucks varieties Kroger carries. They’re essentially samples for MrsT and if she likes one, I’ll order big bags online.

That little bag of chocolates is for the trick-or-treaters who won’t show up. They haven’t for years and years, but MrsT insists on candy, and usually buys one of those 20-lb bags.

MrsT said she was hankering for a taco night, so that’s what those shells are for.
 
Packing for Spain, have checked luggage which happens about once a year.
Taking mostly wet ingredients that are over the 100ml allowance and I that can’t get out there. It appears Asian cooking ingredients and mustard are the things I miss most 😂

They weren’t all purchase today rather collected up over the last couple of months. There are some dry ingredients not pictured because I realised theres no point taking all the wet ingredients with me if I don’t have some of the dry ones like star anise or szechuan pepper with me as well!

Packing-
Palm sugar
Gochujang
Sushi sauce
Ghee 1kg
Oyster sauce
XO sauce
Hoisin sauce
Sesame oil
Thai fish sauce.
Wasabi
Chinese five spice
Star anise
Szechuan pepper


Hot horseradish
English mustard X2
Dijon Mustard
French mustard (not the same as Dijon)
Colmans Mustard powder.
Caramelised Balsamic onion chutney
Chilli crunch
Tartare sauce
Cannamelo Garlic
Borderfields spray oil (plain and garlic)
Mcdougalls instant thickening granules (cos some lazy days mixing up cornflour is too much 😆)
Chipotle agave nectar
Salted caramel coffee syrup
Marmite

Of course this preparedness in anticipation of hankering after Asian food that happens every single time I go to Spain could all be a folly this year because currently all I’m thinking about is afternoon tea 😂

Generally it’s a years worth of stuff but somethings last longer. I dread to think how old my stack of rice papers are now. Won’t stop me using them mind you 😂
It’s all stuff I’ve missed when I’m out there.
You know store cupboard stuff you reach for or think you have for a recipe and turns out you don’t and you can’t get it!

While on vacation recently, I found a kitchen boutique that carried dried spices. I bought 4 ounces of dried chervil, which I was excited to try since that was the first time I'd ever seen chervil (even dried) in a store.

Its easy to grow here but I don't know if it would be where you are.
 
I just got back from the big grocery store.
I picked up 4lbs of sweet onions, celery, some tomato paste, basil, cherry tomatoes, parm/reg and pec/rom, some ziti pasta and a gorgeous looking loaf of Italian bread. Plus some other odds and ends.
What I did not pick up was a chuck roast. Beautiful looking roasts, but too heavy and too much money per lb.
So I picked up a chuck roast at the local store that will work well for me. 2lbs and $3 less per lb to boot.

Later today I'm going to make a YT recipe for pasta Genovese. I've been wanting to try this recipe for a couple months. And I think my appetite came back.
