They're bruised and dinked but make the BEST roasted tomato sauce in the history of ever. Bag bigger than me, 6 bucks.
In other news, I'm fixin' to kick it into high gear this week. Maybe even start painting. I don't care which room.
Pick a room, any room.
PS: I sent these texts to Tim. Right before I made the first one his profile picture on my phone. So fun!
Ha! Love the pic--I'm sure he will too. And now I feel back for that shunned produce.
ReplyDeleteShunned apples make the best apple sauce (I find). Yum. He did laugh at the pic.
DeleteLooks just like him!
ReplyDeleteI'd heard many grocery stores throw away food that doesn't look perfect. What a waste.
Yes, some of the store/markets are trying to change that. Sadly, some are also selling at too high of a price. But the hometown market/stores, they have more flex space there to reduce the price to sell. Which is good.
DeleteYour doodles always have so much character!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debra.
DeleteThe tom's sound a bargain!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteLove your 2nd hand veg! Cute profile pic, lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteLove your header Ivy and I see you are ready for Halloween :) :)
ReplyDeleteLove your hubby profile picture !!!
Thanks. Happy Almost Spring to you!
DeleteGood for you and good luck with the painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Shooting for the bathroom.
DeleteTim must have gotten a kick out of that!
ReplyDeleteHe did.
DeletePerfect looking fruit and vegies often doesn't live up to its looks.
ReplyDeleteA bit like people isn't it?
I am pretty certain we discard the wrong things/people.
Love that profile pic.
Not me. I love to use up the seconds. BEST SAUCE EVAR (same with second apples).
DeleteWho is that handsome man? He's so good looking its scary!
ReplyDeleteSmooch.
DeleteWhen we lived in NC, there was a local farm growing tomatoes and we could get two huge buckets for $5. Only time I have ever done any canning. Made sauces and just canned some of the others.
ReplyDeleteWow, great deal. Love it.
DeleteLOVE your artwork :D
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI want a phone pen!!!
ReplyDeleteSo fun :-)
DeleteEveryone (everyone who can cook, anyway) should take advantage of those deals on less-than-perfect produce. Good for you, Ivy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great way to use up and not over-spend at the same time.
DeleteKen is a cute man. Mmm, roasted tomatoes sounds yummy and comforting.
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn - Hubby's name is Tim. Thanks for dropping by and boogie boogie.
DeleteYou have truly captured his essence.
ReplyDeleteI really made that his profile. And for yours, I just now copied your G+ character (on my phone). Best phone, evar.
DeleteThanks for stopping by. Have fun at game tonight. I've got Bug's bone all ready so she can keep her big yap shut. Mine too, as I'm fixin' to watch a movie as you guys game.
Cheers and boogie boogie.
Very cool. Did you pick a room to paint?
ReplyDeleteNot for sure. I thought the bathroom but now I'm leaning toward, Lemon Tart/Movie room.
DeleteWhat is there not to like about vegetables that may not be quite perfect! They can still taste GREAT!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Yes, so nice to hear others feel the same way. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteWow. I found a post I haven't commented on! I will have to remedy that disaster...
ReplyDeleteSounds like you found a really good deal. And so glad someone could put the seconds to good use. A while back I picked up a sack of over-ripe bananas at the grocery store for a steal. Only a few of them were good enough to eat, but the rest made awesome banana cake!
Hahahah, remedy that disaster. I love it. I also love banana cake. I use those spotty bananas for so many bakes.
ReplyDeleteYUMMY.
