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

[Barriehie]

That’s how I am. Grocery store is my favorite store.

We have a huge international market here, Jungle Jim’s, if you ever make it one state over. I think you’d like it.

I get giddy when I see other languages...

That tea is divine. A long time ago, a friend who was leaving the country gave us a tin. Definitely delicious.

Well my brothers very taken with it. He said because it’s fermented theres no real tannin taste and you can leave it to brew for as long at you like so it’s good for a teapot

I bought some Castilla squash and now I’m wondering what dish to make. I also bought lamb shoulder for a roast tomorrow.
My googling yield some kind squash au gratin. But I also have some leftover croutons from Thanksgiving.

I stopped at one of the better grocery stores on my way home from work and they were putting out whole chickens for $1/lb. For that price, I bought four to throw in the freezer.

Now that I have a bit of time, I can list what I bought today.
3 Eggplants for 39c a pound, for moussaka dish.
5 brown onions for 25c a pound.
2 red onions for 39c a pound
Chicken legs for 69c a pound, for balsamic chicken dish
1 bag of walnuts for $2.99 a pound, the baking season is coming up, I need to eat more walnuts, best for brain food.
1 bag of pistachios for $4.99 a pound
Fuji apples for 39c a pound
Gala apples for 39c a pound
Bananas for 39c a pound
A quarter of Castilla pumpkin squash for 69c a pound, maybe to bake with honey miso glaze
1 head of cauliflower for 69c a pound
Persian cucumbers for 39c a pound
A shoulder lamb ( I believe it’s from Australia) for $4.99 a pound
One head of green cabbage for 69c a pound
Some Shiitake mushrooms.

I forgot to add one pound of ground beef for sauce for moussaka
and some Arabic bread for $1.39, this bread is for dipping the lamb sauce.

Overall I’m very pleased with my shopping today. Not only that I received 4 free bags from the store clerk, I didn’t ask for them, he just gave them to me free. Probably because I was much friendlier than the customer before me, lol.
