Casserole of left-overs: rotisserie chicken, broccoli, mushrooms and cheese.
For a couple of days prior, I didn’t cook dinner, it was 110 degrees Fahrenheit and I just didn’t feel like cooking. I did snack some things directly from the fridge.

Today’s Lunch, which started a couple hours ago… Deviled Eggs, Almonds, Cheddar Cheese, Pepperoni, Smoked Vienna’s, Potted Meat, Sardines, Iced Tea & Almond Milk. (Still eating on the Almonds while attending 2 meetings simultaneously.) Not sure if this will be an OMAD, but probably…

I like the Smokehouse; we always buy big bags at Costco for the truck. But now you said “salt and vinegar,” I’m going to have to look for some! I don’t recall seeing them at the truck stops.

You get Macadamia nut milk at Costco??? What brand? I will have to start begging my Costco to order it!
AMEN!

Have to say, the Smokehouse have indeed grown on me even a bit more, as I’ve been eating them this past week or so. But my recent purchase of 2 more bags of the Salt and Vinegar ones are supposed to be here tomorrow. I get the 25 oz. bag for $11.99 on Amazon. I haven’t tried any other brands, so can’t say if there’s better deals for them? But also don’t believe that ‘dash’ of salt that’s mentioned. I find they have plenty of Salty, as well as Tartness, and I really do enjoy them over the others. 
Here’s the bag I get…
And if needed, here’s the link…

Apparently our little farmer’s market has a few new mushroom growers. I am a big mushroom fan, and so yesterday’s delivery contained this:
The mushrooms are: Beech, Cremini, King Trumpet, Maitake, and Shiitake. You know what a recurring meal theme will be for the next couple of weeks…

Aubergine (egg plant) madras curry.
Rarely cook these days, normally just a batch of meat on a Sunday that does me all week. Started planning this yesterday and stuck to my plan.

That is extremely nice! (jealous) … I’ve been telling the wife for some time now, that I wish I could pick up some Mushrooms varieties somewhere. I too am a big fan, but unfortunately, I haven’t found any places in the area that carries anything beyond the simple ones they sell at the grocery store. … Look forward to seeing all the up-coming dishes.

Hi Candy. I took a few pictures of the labels for you. I thought it was Kirkland brand, but it’s not. I bought a case of it in the pantry side of Costco.
Not sure why 3/4 of the photos are sideways. They are not orientated that way in my photo library. Sorry.

AWESOME! I buy Milkadamia by the case at my local grocery chain because I can’t find it on the road! I use it in combination with heavy cream, coconut cream, & cocoa powder in my coffee daily. I don’t think we have a pantry section in our Costco stores - I’ll have to inquire.

I just call it the pantry section. It’s were you’d find all the grocery stuff like cereal, peanut butter, seasonings, canned tomatoes, etc. In particular, I found this nut milk right next to the almond milk. It also might have been a new item because hadn’t seen it before.

I have tried to grow some myself with the inoculated things at Amazon. The ones that work like a charm are the cardboard boxes. I got twice the promised harvest out of them. Inoculated logs are a gamble, some have yielded nothing, a couple yielded 3 years later.
The drawback with the cardboard boxes is that the box deteriorates over time because of the moisture. If it wasn’t for that, they might yield even more. With them, I ended up paying a bit less than the supermarket prices, plus they keep fresh on the box for a few days, so I could have them totally fresh off the box each day.
You have to be religious about spraying them with water according to directions though.

There’s a place in Austin that used to teach how to inoculate a log to grow your own. Maybe that’s one of the things I’ll take up post-retirement.

There is a good market for these - fancy restaurants will buy them eagerly, and they sell well at farmer’s markets. Supermarkets are hard to get into unless they have a local growers program, which is gaining popularity. One could make a small business out of it if successful at growing.

Thanks for the info, Velvet & Candy. It might be something worth looking into indeed. I actually never thought about trying to do some myself. But will definitely look into it.

Since Covid, a number of small businesses have sprouted successfully here. Mushroom growers, fermented things (Krauts, Kimchi, pickles etc. ) cheeses and coffee roasting. They appear to make a decent living, and investment is minimal.
