I now examine the Aldi weekly circular with renewed interest ! as we all know , Ad's are a series of lies. misdirection , etc. so : Aldi Savers ( in Red ! ) ' savings on savings on savings ' however , some Aldi savers indicate what the price ' was ' and what it is now. [ ed: pls excuse . it's a slow day . sunny , warm in the back room , but cold outside ] in this week's circular ( in black for the price 0 there are items from Germany : ' Deutsche Kuche ' brand apologies to Duvel , can't remember the APPL key sequence for an Umlat I take it that the german items were a one time , large purchase at a value point , and when gone , gone. fine TJ's in California did this from time to time , etc they do offer this week , in black type a 20 lbs bird seed bag : " Heart to Tall Wild Bird Seed " : $ 6.99 I used to get 40 lbs bags at Walmart , and now get them from TheWall on line , as Walmart is not a place I might go to any time soon the price difference is : $ 6.00. nice. but nicer for me , I can deal w 20 lbs bags. I'll get one on Tues ( senior hours ) and see if there are significant difference from the Penningtons Walmart version Im guessing the sunflower seeds are the most expensive in the bag anyone get these bags ? of course , in my area the Squirrels eat most of the SSS before the cardinals arreive so ...................

@Kim Shook this looks like a puzzle to me. Fortunately , I solved it. And I claim to be the first : it's the top R square that has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise. 1/4 turn. I hope there is a prize. -
Aldi // TJ's breakfast : sorry no mise Aldi Brioche HD buns Aldi cut in 1/2 Bavarian Bratwursts sliced 1/2 ie One Brat = two items above why ? less NaCl // mouth gobble red onions, minced TJ's dijon mustard + Tj's sweet chili sauce , mixed together [ed.: this is a simpler way to make your own ' Honey Mustard ' I do have real honey this is simpler. TJ's Pepper Jelly works well here too ] Micro the split sausage for , 45 sec ? torch for Mallirad good-ness micro the buns , 10 sec or so , for ' steam-buns ' then assemble delicious it was however , I wonder if plain buns might be better ? we will see. the ' Sweet-spicy-Dijon makes this '' dish ""

McD is back to sending me in the mail 2 for 1 offers. https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us.html note that now the pics at least imply melted cheese in 10 to 20 years , they might manage to melt the cheese actually @ McD anyway Vaxx's # 2 is coming up very soon and I might do a Drive Thr0iugh for a pair oc Chicken Sand's maybe Wendy's might send me some coupons as in the era Before their crispy spicy CkSand ( w extra tomato and pickles ) was quite nice 2 for 1 of course.

@kayb I am enjoying the pics of your garden i enjoyed gardening years ago and discovered early on Black Plastic and Reemay , woven fiber I hope you are aware of it : https://cedarcirclefarm.org/tips/entry/geotextiles and example from Google search ite extended my growing at leasts a month in each direction here in NewEnglansd. and you can use it over and over again it it light , and I used to lay it over the growing plants and it did not bother them. rain passes right through I forgot what my supplier was , but its not expensive if you get it from a very large garden supplier. and can be used for years.

no wine in Aldi in MA the Gov / etc distant relatives control wine etc than the licenses so no wine. TJ's is fine or me these days. in Brookline , several towns over , toward BOS with very little parkeing the TJ's others sells "" Booze !" it's a town decision in MA and its very expensive for a Restaurant to be able to get a liquor license I don't wonder why. I know . Beer and wine should vibe included in any health departments certification oF any restaurant booze ? not so much Im pretty progressive No ? Thai noodle should be able to sever Ice Cold Singha See ?

I went to Aldi , and was very brave I thought. I did fib a bit : its 10 minus away , leaving 2 minutes to put on my BodyArmour and Respiratory System. in the parking lot. one person ahead of me , and already in the store. plenty of wipes and hand sanitary stuff as you enter the store i huge. 2 - 3 X the previouos store Ive been to in era Before. very wide aisles. fully stocked. some shelf space next to a few items , but those items were in stock , just not a zillion boxes. two people that worked there were in the store and one took me to the Ham selection , fully stocked including the sale ham. so many interesting items Id forgotten about. chocolat selection had everything. A favorite tortellini selection I would get at RocheBro brand name Buttoni : chicken and herb they had , at 1/2 the price. their store brand , but ingredients looked the same will try tonight. RocheBro has taken a serious hit cheese selectio9n a bit weak. will continue to use Tj's for that. fresh rolls , spinach in a bag that was not ' baby ' [ they had that too ] more of Teenager Spinach. tomatoes on the vine etc. I did get three different brie's , a blue , and two brands. will try them as soon as they age. TJ's has a fine selection of brie , from FR I used to get the one that oozes , most awful looking pieces , and age them at home. all in all , a wonderful selection.. of stuff made ,my day. I felt comfortable moseying around taking my time and getting the lay of the land and were the stuff was I was interested in. lucky me ! no wine though. TJ's for that , eventually when my stock runs low.

a friend of mine , who is the custodian of Penny and Leo drove out to my area , and even farther to Thai Noodle , my favorite restaurant. I haven't been there in over 14 months. they are still in business he brought me Tod Man , and Duck s green peppercorns @ line leaves. asked for extra grpeppercorns. no [pic of the TodMun , got devoured first but : N.B.: there were 8 green peppercorn ' clumps ' you see three here. + many loose I had this w an ice cold Hoponius Union , brewed one town over that was 15 months old , in my refrigerator. delicious both were together I did have to be very careful w the Green peppercorn clumps. bit into a clump one might be sorry. Im convinced the H.U. was better after its rest in the refrigerator. I have one more in there and will save it , and try it w a re-supply of the same net time I myself go to Thai Noodle. Yum Yum !

Rolled ? etc ? why not just get those oats ( dry ) in an inexpensive ' coffee blade mill " turn it on , shake = Oat Meal ie meal as is flour what it courser ? use a bit less time.

rotuts replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
good its a special meal very special , re Tradition however , your vendor needs to do better in the future. your thoughtful comments to them , but more importantly those who assist them might avoid your grita for other in the future. pls don't try to sterilize anything you won't be able to do it and you will not accomplish those goals and destroy your food. -
perfectly safe if you are careful.

Poll: will @weinoo get a refund ? I say no. will the questions @chromedome suggested and fine suggestions they are matter ? they should , but Ill vote another No after the questions are sent. these people seem to have been down this road before. I would like to be wrong ..... -

sounds to me that they can't be bothered to take your problems seriously and plan on not refunding your purchase. all you can do is never order from them again. too bad -

rotuts replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
certainly a refund is in order at the very least and a mention about only one cold pack , and it being placed on the bottom not the top of the food. there is no way to know a priori what is safe and what is not safe to eat Id surely eliminate anything that had egg/mayo like ingredients thinking salmonella. but more likely than not , once egg ++ is eliminated you are probably going to be OK a shame really to waste food esp for an important holiday you went out of your way to make special. -
