I did a Walmart run this afternoon after work to pick up paper goods and cat litter and food. I decided to check out the grocery section to see if they had any good deals and I was surprised to discover that this Super Walmart has a very good selection of things not available in dedicated grocery stores (like falafel mix!). Combine that with good deals and I came out with a full cart of groceries.

Does anyone know what this is?

What the heck is this yellow stripey thing?! It was in the fruits so I’m guessing some kind of melon???

I have to show off a gift I got from a tenant yesterday. He asked me if I liked bell peppers and I replied yes. He handed over a large bag full of frozen roasted red pepper strips!!!

There’s a million things I can do with those, not least of which is make up some pimento cheese. I asked my mother for the recipe and she emailed it back immediately (merci!), so I made sure to grab the feta and cream cheese I’ll need for that. I also got the fixings for hummus (very nice with roasted peppers) and tomato sauce (divine with roasted peppers!). You can see hashbrowns peeking out from behind the peppers, another gift from this tenant who works for McCain. Having concluded that these pre-cut potatoes are actually reasonably nutritious so long as I don’t fry them, I’ve accepted all gifts of them and have been using them for quick dinners, sautéing them with frozen veggies and cheese. They are going to be succulent with some roasted peppers. 🙂

Finally, I have to say, once again, that I am grateful to have a large RV fridge and freezer!

very full freezer

I don’t think I could squeeze another thing into there! The fridge isn’t quite as bad, but almost.
