It's only two I have to worry about and even figuring out a 1/2 recipe is daunting.

We discussed the thing about finding the right ingredients for a recipe. Vidalias are really rare out here and the shallots and mushrooms you'd have to go to an expensive national store and pay a premium price for them.

I looked at shiitake shrooms at a store out here and they were 5.99 a pound. God knows what they cost today!

I have all the ingredients. Numbers of ingredients don't intimidate me in a recipe. The hot oil kind of freaks me out, but other than that, it's not too hard. People let recipes intimidate them when they shouldn't. It's a bunch of prep work, but other than that, not too much work, except for the deep frying of the onions and shallots.

You do what I do. I know that the cashiers at Giant do NOT look at what kind of mushroom you have. They just do "generic" mushrooms.

I got Shitake and Oyster mushrooms tonight for 2.69 and 1.36. They were rung up at 3.49/lb, so......

My vidalias were 2.98 lb.

Shallots were prepackaged, 1.99. Not too bad, but there are only 2 of them. I couldn't find loose shallots at this certain Giant.


I'm getting back at the manager yelling "SHRINK!!!!" at me for the stupid cheese that I didn't leave out of the cold section (the customer did).



I actually DID save $20 in coupons. I was good and searched them all out.
