I recently ordered a kilo of fresh onions, and garlic, with 600g of ginger from one of our local grocery stores, Soriana.
They were going to be delivered, as you can see, between 4-5pm, for $38MXN/$1.98USD. Not too shabby if you ask me. I was going to pay for them upon delivery.
Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. They didn’t have any ginger in their online store, whatever that means. But a “bot” offered to give me information to one of the local Soriana stores to see if they had any ginger on hand. I thanked him/her/it, (pronouns gone wild), and said I’d go out next week to find some.
You see, I’m going to start processing the onions, garlic, and, eventually, the ginger in the food processor, combining each with a teaspoon of salt, and enough avocado oil to make a lovely paste, put each into ice cube trays, and freeze them. I’ll just have to reach into the freezer, and remove however much I need for any particular recipe with no produce wasted.
I have to do a bit of weeding out of the freezer first as it is full of a bit of this, and a bit of that that I freeze so that little bit of something won’t spoil. Enough I say. Take control of your freezer I say.
So, that’s my plan. I’ll let you know how it materializes.
Until next time, stay safe. You could try for happy too, if you’re of a mind.
Post script: The groceries didn’t arrive. The website said it was delivered, but nope. Nothing. Will try elsewhere next week. Will probably have to actually go to the store, and get what we need. The audacity. At least we hadn’t paid for them.
