What's for Dinner, Thurs., June 6, 2024 [View all]

Spicy mango salad over mustard greens. The salad has shallots that I pulled from the garden last night. In addition, red pepper flakes, olive oil, lime juice, and cilantro.

I have boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the slow cooker. I bought them from WF and have had them before. So delicious. I have some peanut sauce I didn't use from a recent recipe, so I'm thinking I might put this sauce with one of the thighs for tonight.

Bottled up some cherry kombucha, too.

For dessert, I shredded a dark chocolate bar and toasted some peanuts and coconut. This will be the topping for a no-sugar ice cream sundae. Dark Chinese tea.

I've been meaning to mention this but forgot for a couple days. I went shopping at Aldi and found a tremendous price drop. It was widespread, too, not on just a few items. In fact it was so good that I doubled up on a number of items. I didn't know if it was permanent or temporary.

So I'm wondering if this is foretelling a price drop at other stores, and possibly a widespread drop in grocery prices. If it is, it would be great for the election.

A while back, we had another DU poster who pays close attention to prices say that she saw the overall trend downward.

I mentioned it to the Aldi checkout person and she nodded, knowing what I was talking about. If you go and check it out, just watch for the red tags.
