We tend to spread ourselves around since we have most of the well known "brands" within easy travelling distance. The one that is the nearest is Tesco, but we tend to avoid them. We seem to have completely gone off tescaw..don't really like their ethics and their tescopoly. We have a Sainsbury, Waitrose and Asda fairly close by and a newish Aldi about ten minutes away. We went there this morning, mainly because I had seen a post on "Delia" about shopping there, and also last night we ran out of parmesan cheese. We weren't doing much today so it was a good opportunity.
I wouldn't use them for my big shop at the weekend, but they are good for the odd item. Their baking paper is excellent, and they are good for bags of the little chocolate bars that we use for treats like Toblerones and Bounty lookalikes.We did gety a big wedge of Parmesan for £2.49 which is excellent. i cut that up into small pieces and put it in the freezer and it lasts forever. VT was quite pleased he got some Welsh cakes, made in Wales too, he loves those, and some cat food for the babies. Hope they don't turn their noses up at it!
Not a bad shop, clean and bright, but they don't have the variety of goods that the main players have.
Nice programme on Channel Four each day at 2.55 from Eric Lanlard, called Glamour Puds. Beautifully done, and what he does with desserts is amazing. He made some Macaroons yesterday which looked fabulous, and he is pretty gorgeous too, apart from his beard.
A lot of men on screen these days particularly the young ones have these unshaven looks about them..don't like it at all.
Tonight we are having:
Bramley apple sausages done with an apple,
Mashed potatoes,
Cabbage and leek mix stir fried, with mushrooms
