So I Decided to Order Groceries for Delivery
Re: So I Decided to Order Groceries for Delivery
I managed to grab a 480 bag of Yorkshire teabags today, (my brew of choice.)
I will survive now.

Why 480? And how long would that last you? I am mystified by the world of tea-drinkers.
GAH!

Is there a tradition that teabags are supplied in multiples of 12 (in civilized countries and England)? Please, no discussion of tea-bagging.

Never thought of that before!

In U.S., a box of 20 is typical (just checked my Twinings and Tazo).

My English father usually referred to teabags as "disaster bags." It was almost always loose tea while growing up in my parents house.
Some traditions are hard to break. Rarely do I use the bag but Tetley black tea will work in a pinch. Mostly, however, I like my own personal blend of loose tea. One part Orange Pekoe, one part Earl Grey, and one part Irish Breakfast, and then I mix it all up in my 50 year old Crabtree & Evelyn tea caddy.
Now that's a cup a' tea.

Re: So I Decided to Order Groceries for Delivery
Speaking of uncivilized countries, how much tea do they actually grow in Yorkshire?
GAH!

Not much, or none actually. But we do grow it here in Cornwall.

I think Saturday I may have hubby drive me out to Amish country and see what we can score meat wise. they have little stores out in the boonies and often know farmers selling other meat items. Cash and carry.
Re: So I Decided to Order Groceries for Delivery
I made it back. Got ground lamb, and rib eye steaks, but no chicken. Three stores, one lonely chicken leg among them. The seafood all looked anemic (beyond sad considering where I live), but there was lovely fresh sushi, so that’s lunch today and tomorrow.
I want to make indian butter chicken, but it looks like I’ll be making it with roasted tofu instead (which is probably necessary to balance out the ribeyes and the lamb).

I also got chocolate digestives and shortbread to go with Gob’s cuppa(s).

Stop saying butter chicken! For all that is holy my favorite place is shut down and I am starving for some.
Re: So I Decided to Order Groceries for Delivery
It’s really easy. Seriously. There are a million recipes on-line and I have taken a little from each and make my own version. Its fabtabulous.

Re: So I Decided to Order Groceries for Delivery
We got plenty chicken here, also a nice-looking side of salmon. Doing something with boneless/skinless chicken thighs and mushrooms tonight. Not really eating mammals anymore as a concession to the youngest daughter, who'd prefer we go full vegetarian.
GAH!
Re: So I Decided to Order Groceries for Delivery
I eat vegan/vegetarian (depending on where I land on cheese and butter that day) a few days a week. And then I eat flesh.
Mushrooms and chicken thighs is fabu. Try the Nom Nom Paleo sheet pan chicken and mushrooms. You have to find her mushroom seasoning. Its awesome.

I laugh. I can't really safely stand up and cook. I have this scooter thing that tries to throw me off. I had husband leave me a little cooler of drinks and some snacks that were easily reachable. I have cooked butter chicken a few times in the past.But thanks for the offer.
