More produce shopping

I went shopping with Lewis. We went to Kings Market and Green Corner.

I got romaine lettuce for $0.50 and the Kumato tomatoes for $1 at Kings Market. At Green Corner, tomatoes and peaches were $0.79/lb, plums were $0.99/lb, and serrano peppers were $1.99.

Rabbit Stock

I made rabbit stock with the rest of my rabbit pieces and bones and some vegetables I bought at Jesus. It's pretty good, but it doesn't taste very rabbity. I bought Andrew a stock pot for Christmas and this was the first time anyone used it. (What a self-serving gift, eh?) It tastes like good vegetable stock though. I used all the celery you see, the whole bag of carrots, the onion, another red onion, the shallot, the fresh thyme, and the cremini mushrooms. And salt and pepper. The vegetables/thyme cost me $6. That seemed pretty good.

Now I have to figure out what to do with all this stock.

Bushwick Groceries

I don't know if blog posts get better than this one from BushwickBK. It's a grocery price survey of all the stores in Bushwick. I overpay for eggs.

You'd think this blog would do original reporting like that, but I think my focus is even narrower. But here are my tips.

Buy frozen foods, especially vegetables, at C-Town.
Buy canned foods at Western Beef. Except crushed tomatoes, which come from C-Town or Key Food.
Buy fresh vegetables at the Jesus store. It's called To the World Farm or something. It's next to Associated.
Recycle your shopping bags at Key Food. You can get pasta there or at C-Town.
Get pork butt from Associated. Get bags of beans from Associated.

Plum tomatoes are on sale at C-Town

But they're not that good. They are, however, only $0.99/lb, and in a first, not ugly. C-Town always has the ugliest produce.

In a more somber note, someone who isn't me thinks he's the mayor of C-Town on Foursquare, so we're foes now and I'm very angry.
