    Subj: Cheese

    Oka / was 50% off. I loaded up with four wedges. If they were
    smarter they would be raising the price for "extra aged".

    Wizard! I used to buy a lot of meat marked down at least 50% on
    "last- day-of-sale".

    My store discounts 50% on baked goods but only 30% on meat and don't
    discount produce soon enough. I go almost daily just before lunch
    time looking for office snacks and always stroll done the bread
    aisle and the meat counter keeping an eye out for deals but never
    stop at the produce dept's markdown area.

    Subj: Chili

    Title: Jinney's Chili

    According to my definition in the last post this does indeed qualify as chili. My biggest criticism would be the tomato soup, not the beans.

    Pintos or brown beans are much more acceptable.

    In Canadian cuisine, Italian Borlotti beans are more common than
    Pinto beans. They're pretty similar though. My favourite bean to go
    with chili is those small red ones, Rojos Pequenos, when I can find
    them.

    Occasionally I pull a Loo and make chili with lentils.

    Canadians often add mushrooms to their mild, extra tomatoey chili

    I'd have to pass on 'shrooms in my chilli.

    It's not horrible. I do have serious objections to carrots, parsnips
    and zucchini though. To my horror such recipes do exist. They are
    probably designed for people who like to use Campbell's tomato soup
    in their chili!

    This is my go-to chilli recipe

    I don't have a recipe; I just make it.

    Subj: Good soy sauce

    Lee Kum Kee LKK premium soy sauce

    Never tried China Lily - now I won't bother. Thanx

    It's the default soy sauce in bad, cheap Chinese restaurants. It's
    made by breaking down vegetable proteins by acid hydrolysis rather
    than slow natural fermentation.

    I did a little internet sleuthing and discovered it's made in
    Toronto by a Lee's Food Products Ltd. a privately owned company
    with no website. I doubt if it's sold in the USA so you're safe.

    "FDA warns after Family Dollar distribution center found
    infested with rodents"

    Yellowknife will be getting it's first dollar store in about three
    months. I've been working on the lease arrangements for about a year
    now. The brand name is Dollarama. You may not be familiar with the
    name but it's the largest chain of its kind in Canada with 1400
    branches and the company is not only listed on the TSE it is a
    component of the S&P/TSX 60 Index. It's a 10 year lease on 18,000 sf
    so the commission is quite healthy.

    Weird chili:

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Zesty Chili
    Categories: Bad Chili, Turkey, Vegetables
    Yield: 1 large batch

    1 lb Carrots
    1 lb Zucchini
    1 lb Onions
    1/4 c Vegetable oil
    3 lb Ground turkey
    1 tb Minced garlic
    4 x 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes
    1 x 15 oz can of tomato sauce
    2 ts Salt

    Chop carrots, zucchini and onions in the food processor. Heat 1/4
    cup vegetable oil in a 6 quart pot. Add vegetables. Cook over
    medium-high heat 15-20 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times until almost
    tender.

    Put 3 lbs. ground turkey and 1 tbsp. minced garlic in a 8 quart
    pot. Cook, breaking up meat, until it is no longer pink. Stir in
    the vegetables, four 28 oz. cans crushed tomatoes in puree (drain
    some of the juice or it might be too watery), a 15 oz. can of
    tomato sauce and 2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to
    medium-low. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes for flavors to develop.

    You will have about 22 cups of meat sauce. You can use the sauce
    as is for spaghetti sauce or freeze some for future chili.

    With 7 cups of the meat sauce, add 2 X 19 oz. of canned kidney
    beans and 2 or more tablespoons chili powder. Top with shredded
    cheese and onions.

    Refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze up to 4 months.

    MMMMM



    Cheers

    Jim

    I don't generally shop my grocer's bakery department(s). I've a good
    tange of specialty bakers from "Incredibly Delicious" to "Loaves & Twigs"

    We're down to only one "used-bread" store. Apparently it's the only one
    between the Chicago metro area and St. Louis.

    Red (and black) beenz are OK. But, it's easier to find pintos around
    here.

    Personal taste/choice.

    I don't have a recipe; I just make it.

    I have done chilli so often I don't consult the recipe unless making a
    batch for others. Then I'll print out an ingredients list and check off
    items as used - just in case I have a "senior moment" in the midst of
    things. Bv)=

    Our major "Dollar" store - DollarTree is now (unofficially) Dollar & a
    Quarter Tree. The CoVid driven inflation and supply chain issues have
    taken their tool.

    Pretty sucky to have to arse to the BOTTOM of the directions before you
    ever see chilli spice mentioned. It's supposed to be a chilli recipe
    for cat's sakes.

    Some people's kids! I swear! (exasperated look) <VBSEG>
