When I next get back to where I took the picture of the pickle selection I'll try to identify what they all were. It was lunchtime when I passed and didn't want to disturb the diners too much. I'll go earlier in the day when it might be empty.
That would be outstanding, I'm so curious about what they all were! I'm assuming pickle profiles can be sour (not spicy), less sour (fruit based), or more spicy?

I have never had congee, I do have access to a H-Mart for Asian pickles, what are some of the most common/popular types?
-
this may sound like a dumb question, but is it possible to make a "sort of" congee using already cooked (leftover) rice?

A fun trip down memory lane, Betty Crocker's Cookbook for Boys and Girls...my first cookbook (I had a later version than the archived version). But as I flipped the pages I recognized some of the content. I used to make the sugar cookie recipe all the time (we used margarine instead of shortening). It will be a fun rabbit hole.

Since it will be just my husband and I, most probably, figuring I will get a bone in turkey breast. We both like turkey, so I won’t mind the leftovers (in smaller quantities).

@patti, yum on that spinach...I'm a creamed spinach lover so adding a crust for texture sounds great!

Bought a 4 pack of Nuun hydration tablets (DH drinks it after golf in the Summer), probably covered for 2 years...

Interesting how they specifically note the use of Bisto Gravy, by name, in the ingredients.

Chicken foot jerky?

So there was delicious gravy leftover from my husband’s short rib dinner...I sauteed a bunch of dinosaur kale in a bit of olive oil /garlic, added the leftover gravy (which was thick with the pureed mirepoix), heated until bubbling, tossed in cooked Barilla chickpea rotini pasta, dinner in 20 minutes. I don’t eat beef but the gravy was so good I made an exception.

Had one of the pumpkin spice muffins I found too sweet split in half and sandwiched some mild goat cheese in the middle. Perfect!

Tangy braised chickpeas, recipe from Smitten Kitchen. The idea is to cook chickpeas in a savory broth that has the taste of traditional brisket flavors, but vegetarian. I really enjoyed it, even though I didn’t have time to let it cook as long as I should. The reheats should be great. We had potato pancakes with unsweetened applesauce along side.

I like the sweet potato treatment especially the grainy mustard. Will try it. I have not had the light fleshed in some time - do you find them less sweet and maybe more starchy then the orange fleshed?
Definitely more starchy, not watery like the orange ones often are. These had purple skin, I left some of the peel on, we like it. I cooked them at 400 for 20 minutes, stirred/flipped pieces, then another 13 minutes. Sheet pan lined with non-stick aluminum foil.

I baked the pumpkin bread mix as muffins, and used unsweetened applesauce instead of the specified veg oil. They were also very sweet, I am going to try with a bit of cream cheese next time I have one.

Gnocchi! You can make a bunch and freeze them.

Food in the time of a pandemic

Regarding leftover/marked down holiday candy...I found a lone bag of Easter Hershey's kisses at the ShopRite near my office about 4-5 months after the fact, on the sad clearance rack that they hide back by the door to the warehouse. You never know. Target is my usual stop for those things, but you only have 2-3 days before it gets picked clean, usually.
As far as grocery store stock in general, I'm still finding odd things missing on and off. One day they had no loose Russet baking potatoes. Another day it was yellow onions. The paper goods aisle continues to have some low stock. I bought a pack of TP even though I didn't need it, and it wasn't on sale, and I hate myself for doing that.
My pandemic weakness...I can make do with substituting for missing food items...but I need MY brand of TP.
