Minor Pleasures (3 Viewers)

Dunno, is it?
5lbs of onions, 5 lbs of carrots, 3 lbs of peppers, 3 lbs of broccoli, sleeve of garlic, large bag of spinach and a can of ground coffee.
Thought I got a deal. It will do me for the entire week. That's for sure.

Although this old lady was complaining about the price of broccoli to me ($1.69/lb which is about €3.40/kg)

Bought a 20lb turkey for $20.

Am in hyper-save right now.

Brocolloi turnips carrots and spuds..all 39 cent in Aldi this week.

I never get bored of eating brocolli.39c! for two heads of it!

Todays dinner cost 1.50!

You're getting some great value there in fairness, Gaz

Not to mention the UNBELIEVEABLE and highly addictive pork collar chops Aldis do.

Must bring this info to the cooking thread

You don't know the half of it man...you'd actually need a van to carry €20 worth of veg home from Aldi.

And its TOP QUALITY.As good as it gets imo.Straight from North County Dublin!
Best land in Ireland

I'd be interested in hearinmg the results of this.
When I lived stateside I gave up cooking cos the produce was so expensive...and in New York anyway..a bit bland..which I could never figure out

The spuds were rubbish anyway.

NIce tomotoes in New Jersey in the summer mind you

I love Aldi too, when I can make myself go into town with a backpack - its really annoyingly hard to do your shopping when you don't drive and live in Phibsboro - I can get a rake of vegan stuff in there for next to nothing.

I too am a broccoli fiend, yesterday for dinner I ate a half a head of broc, four carrots, a rake of cabbage, corn on the cob and some homemade patatas bravas. I get a real craving for massive amounts of steamed veg occasionally, a minor pleasure indeed.

also I got a house and it has nice wooden floors and it is happy making I will not be homeless.

I reworked the work schedule so now I have two days off in a row every week. This should actually be in the major pleasures thread.

Weirdo

Cold chocolate kills the flavour. Slightly warm means its satisfyingly soft and tastes delicious.

While I don't like it warm, I have similar views on white wine. If you've chilled the fuck out of it then it tastes of hardly anything. I think 10 degrees is fine for white wine, you don't need an ice bucket or have it so cold that there's condensation on the glass. The exception is prosecco/champagne/cava which is good cold (but it's not a deal breaker for me).

Got me van!

I met Hans Zimmer the other night.
