I Dood It!

\"IYep, I dood it. In fact, I\’ve done two things.

Last night I got to work and made the potato tikka masala. It was the same recipe as the cauliflower tikka masala; except, of course, with spuds instead of \”flower cabbage\”, as German calls it.

Note to self: next time use the FIVE-quart pot. The two-quart one was barely big enough. Also, next time try some Old Bay Seasoning instead of curry powder. Maybe not a whole tablespoon of it, though. I find Old Bay to be strong stuff.

I dood it this morning, too: I finally hitched up the trailer and rode to the salvage store. And did I find some good stuff! I must have hit it at just the right time; sometimes it happens.

Lately I\’ve been experimenting with using various salsas on rice and beans.  One aisle in the salvage store always has some \”Hispanic\” grocery items, I guess you could call them. Today there were 10-oz cans of mild red enchilada sauce, three for a dollar!

On the opposite side of the aisle were 5-oz cans of water-pack tuna, 69 cents each. I picked up six cans. Soon afterwards, four aisles over, I found a different brand of the same thing; but 59 cents each. I took eight cans, and put the other tuna back where I\’d gotten it. In effect, I got the seventh can of tuna for 58 cents; and the eighth one for free!

Of course I visited the grab-bag bins, but this time most of the things I picked weren\’t candy. I\’ve got enough goodies to last me for months! And of course I got some \”luxury\” items, such as a can of black cherries in apple juice.

There were 5-oz bags of NUT-rition squares, for $0.99 each. I bought three bags; I think they might make good ride food.

Incidentally, one variety of those NUT-rition squares is \”digestive health\”. It makes me think of digestive biscuits!
