Food Bazaar's sales for Mexico's independence day

 Mexico celebrates independence day on September 16, and Food Bazaar put little Mexican flags next to a few things in its weekly ad. I didn't realize they carried Victoria. I drink that the most when I'm in Mexico City.

Mexicans celebrate with chiles en nogada, but that's pretty complicated for a store ad to cover. It's so complicated that the last chapter of Like Water For Chocolate is making them.

Beans!

 After my last post, I did go to Western Beef and they did have beans on sale. Cannellini were $2/lb and chick peas for $1.89/lb. I never see chick peas under $2 these days and cannellini are usually more than $2.70 minimum. So I bought 5 bags of cannellini and 3 of chick peas because I don't want to go back to Western Beef soon.
