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

Ahh yeah - so lets try and stop any post getting moved start another thread for Deadly Animals and get this thread back on track.

Last word on the crocs from me though is this - Fresh Water Crocs are not aggressive like Aust salties - they prefer to move away from people than attack them. By the way, I didn't know the frechy weas in the same water hole as I was until he came up from the bottom. Bit of an "oh crap" moment for me

OK, back to fresh produce then
I just obtained (harvested) some yard long beans and a couple of chili peppers.

Yesterday (because it's only just 8am here) I bought 2 kgs of fresh tomatoes at $1 each, 400 gms of sweet chiles, 4 leeks and a packet of bacon.
Watch the What did you cook or eat today? (December 2025) for what I actually do with them today!

[Wombat457]

Oh no, what are going to do?

I have no idea - xmas is now officially ruined, oh the pain of it all

The apple pie was an optional thing so if we got one - great. if we didn't - so be it.

This is why I did all of my Christmas shopping Sunday, today it’s raining and you know how Californians and the rain, they drive recklessly.

Today I returned my bag of radioactive shrimp and bought lots of canned beans, they are 88c a can, some crushed tomato cans, the ones with the pulled lid so I don't need the can opener, a win win situation. Got some organic kale because the non organic was not available, I’m going to turn my potato Dauphinoise dish yesterday into kale, potato, and sausage soup some day soon.
I also bought some Barilla rigatoni boxes for 88c each, this the lowest price I’ve seen for a while.

Bulk section cream of tartar, potato flour, cumin seed - potato flour/starch for agadashi - usually use cornstarch but apparently potato flour gives better results
