    The whole chicken I baked tonight was sublime.  The white meat was juicier than the dark.  
    Family picked the carcass clean.

    I told them about the roast and they all wanted in on it.  ;)

    The girls laid early this morning so I fried 3 up broken yolk style and had some delish bacon egg and cheese sandwiches on toast.  Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar, Sugardale thick sliced bacon, a dash of ketchup and a double dash of my homemade hot sauce.

    Cabot SS Cheddar.  I eat a piece (at least) every day I am home.
    Cannot go wrong.

    Been slacking of late. Though hopping back on the horse tonight. Arugula, green onions, blanched asparagus and green beans, roasted beets, grilled shrimp with goat cheese, olive oil and lemon

    Tomorrow is a big day. Christmas tree day. Pick up the tree from down in south philly. Lamb shanks braising for much of the day and finished off with a little home alone action

    Does anyone shop at Aldi? One opened up in the area recently. I know it’s a lot less expensive than the big chain grocery stores (we have Martins & Weis), mostly because they don’t carry name brands. Just wondering about the quality of their products.

    I haven't although they do have one near me.
    Shopping changes for me this month as Amazon Fresh stops delivery to my ZIP code.  
    Fucked.
    I loved their service.  
    Back to ShopRite and Wegmans.  Wife goes to Whole Foods

    Not to be a food snob but I stay from it. They usually ship in their products from all over the world wherever they find it the cheapest. If you're trying to source local food then Aldi is the furthest thing from it- along with other huge outlets.

    I’m just trying to save money on groceries. The only way to get local food here is farmers market. Which is only in the summer, and on Thursday mornings when I’m at work. Like, why not have it on the weekend, ya know, when people can actually go?

    My wife is a gigantic aldi fan. I find the Trader Joe's/Aldi story to be pretty interesting.

    Regardless, I am down with it.  It is especially outstanding for things like snacks, cereals, spices, paper products, soaps, etc. Day to day things. We will occasionally get meat or frozen fish there, but not our go to. It is extremely well priced. I was a hater for a long time and I still rarely go, but I have absolutely no complaints about what the wife comes home with, especially given the price point.

    They also have a shit load of random stuff. My sister in law bought a pressure washer. Aldi is basically 'Food & Stuff'

    Braised lamb shanks over a lentil, mint salad. Absolutely banging though I could have braised the lamb for another 20 or so minutes. Wasn't as fall off the bone as in the past.

    lamb is the best

    That looks great and awful at the same time.  I live stuff like that.

    Nice eggs!

    I try my best not to participate in office potlucks anymore.  Let alone the dishes, half of the people I work with are really fucking gross!
