Loss Leaders

I noticed that one of my grocery stores published a flyer with some loss leaders.I was going to go out to buy yogurt so, I went to this store and bought 2 kgs of chopped beef, a big bag of whole wheat tortillas, string cheese, some canned veggies, butter and wild rice. A pack of smoked salmon jumped into my cart without me noticing. That will top at least three salads. The meat, butter and the tortillas will go into the freezer. Thankfully, I have enough space now to make this work. 

I had beans in the freezer so, tomorrow's dinner will possibly be burritos. 

I checked the expiration dates on my canned goods and found some that will expire this year, so I pulled them together and placed them on the upper shelf. Every January, I check my spice cabinet to see if anything needs to be tossed an replenished. I will do that one of these days.

Tonight's dinner will be fish and salad. The fish is thawed in the fridge and ready to be popped in the oven with a bit of olive oil. I had shredded whatever was left of the iceberg lettuce and the cabbage. So, it is going to be so easy to put together a salad. I also have cauliflower that I had boiled. I mash it up, add lemon juice, olive oil and salt to it. This is the only form of cauliflower that I like.

Here is my list for tomorrow's Farmers Market:

- Broccoli

- Avocados

- Cabbage/Bell Peppers/Zucchini/Chard whichever looks better and fresh (to stuff)

- Red Beets

- Arugula

- Radishes

- Onions

- Parsley and green peppers for my version of a tabbouleh

- In case I do not get a cabbage to stuff, Brussel Sprouts

Plus any other veggies or greens that catch my eye.  I may also get some fruit. My favorite is Satsuma Mandarins but, I think their season is over now. I do not like the other kinds. We'll see.

Then I will check out my fishmonger to see if I would like anything. It is warmer than usual and fresh fish is not great when the weather is so mild. 

Gotta go and pay my semi-annual car taxes on both cars and wire the money to a contractor in Antalya who is working on repairs of the apartment complex. We are paying in installments.
