You point out that the infused olive oil is super expensive. Have you ever tried putting a big package of peeled garlic into a slow cooker with a whole bottle of good olive oil? You can also do this in the oven on low. The oil tastes lovely and the garlic is great just by itself on bread or in recipes. I'm including a youtube video that shows how to do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmGcd5-eoL1raKM

You're absolutely not crazy about rejecting dented cans. I do it all the time, regardless of what is in it. My grandmother taught me that lesson, she was always worried about the inner lining of the cans being cracked and contaminating the food inside.

[@Shoshi2048]

My mother taught me the same exact lesson on dented cans, so I get it too! 😉

[@mmmarion56]

mon cher docteur, you are SO RIGHT to check cans for dents! back in the early 60’s here in the states, a couple of women died of botulism attributed to a shared lunch of canned tuna. even though i was only 6 years old at the time, i have vivid memories of what andy warhol dubbed “the tunafish disaster*” to this day - not the least of which is of my mom turning into the “inspector general of all things tinned” seconds after the cause of the ladies’ demise was made public. although to the best of my knowledge the “killer cans” were unblemished, i came out of this national tragedy brandishing the equation “dents = deadly disease.” i’m also a stickler for opening egg cartons to check for cracks - never thought to examine the flip side for leakage, though…eggcellent idea 😂! came upon your videos quite by chance, and am hooked! especially appreciated your advice in this one for making fruits and veggies last longer. and i’m charmed when you’ve finished shopping and say you’re heading to the “cash” (caisse!), since i’m bilingual (french-english) too, with a son in montréal! ----- *warhol used this unfortunate event as the basis for a series of artworks.

[@dragondancer1814]

I definitely concur! My husband ate clam chowder from a dented can once (it was part of a haul from a “Brown Bag” program we participated in briefly). The seal was still intact so the can “popped” the way it was supposed to when he opened it, but the dent had clearly caused contamination-I’ll spare you the details, but let’s just say he spent the rest of the day regretting having eaten that soup! Never again!

[@Shoshi2048]

My two favourite mackerel recipes are; 1) Fillets dusted in flour with salt and black pepper, then fried in butter. Until golden and crisp. 🐟 🐟 🐟 🐟 2) Slowly simmered as thick slices. In water, with crown dill, (stems included), lemon slices, and white peppercorns. Both dishes are served with steamed new potatoes, pickled cucumber, crisp green salad leaves, and sour cream/créme fraiche.

Wow! You are so organized! It's inspiring! I am assuming this is not in the US. For some reason I thought you were in Israel but now I am thinking, maybe Canada. Walmarts here have very limited Israeli kosher products but the little they have are well priced. The regular kosher products, dry goods, that they carry are always priced better than the supermarkets. We are lucky here to have 2 small independent kosher grocery stores, a butcher, and a Kosher Pantry which acts as a food bank but is helped by selling meat to the public. It is still expensive kosher meat, but maybe a little less than the grocery stores that carry packaged kosher meat. We are only 2 people but expand to 6 for Shabbat meals. I usually end up shopping and cooking on Fridays. We have all different likes and dislikes plus those who have cut out all animal products and oils. It is challenging. I make sure my grandchildren, the meat eaters, have food they like, and my son-in-law has lots of fresh salad. I think my daughter is still eating roasted vegetables that have been cooked with oil but, I really never know from week to week! What is left over, my husband and I usually eat through Tuesday or Wednesday!

I guessed$325. That's close to what I've been spending weekly for a family of 3 (when it's just my husband, my son and I). Over the last year our weekly food bill has increased by a third. I pay about$14 for a whole chicken. Lamb is currently about $20 lb, my son has a bovine protein allergy and it's the only red meat he can eat. A big bag of about 9 individual servings of salmon is approximately $45. By buying the individually packaged units rather than one big piece I have less waste. Unfortunately I don't have a Walmart with a real grocery. I don't buy the dented cans either because it might have affected the seal of the can. I really enjoyed the veggie tips. I didn't know about the eggplant's bellybutton. I also really liked how you have your pantry set up and your binder idea. I would love the recipes. I want to see more!

Hi Frankie! Thank you so much for your comment ! You were so close with your guess of 325 and I absolutely agree with you that the prices have increased tremendously since the beginning of the past year and a half I used to pay about 200 per week for a full grocery and now as you saw it’s more around 300 and this is not even a full grocery with like lots a fruits vegetable aka a full grocery when you have nothing it’s only what we needed after I looked through the refrigerator the freezers and the pantry hopefully this madness of increasing the prices will be over soon!! I’m happy for you as you have really good prices for the meat we do not have that kind of price here at all for us let’s say some veal shank will be about $55 per pound🥺😢🥺😢🥺 I’m happy to know that I am part of your team not buying cans that have a dent on it For the eggplant 🍆 I just didn’t know how to call that round spot on the eggplant so I referred to it as the belly button but it’s my friend who is Turkish who told me about this and I have to say that it’s pretty accurate the darker the eggplant with the smallest belly button usually are the tastiest the eggplant will be thank you again so much for taking the time in your busy day to leave such a thoughtful comment I’m going to wish you and your family a Shabbat Shalom

Bonsoir Sara-Malka, merci de partager avec nous. Je cuisine selon les légumes de saison et j'achète moins de poulet découpé qui est tout de même plus onéreux, souvent la viande rouge en morceaux revient moins cher et rassasie mieux. Je commande de la viande surgelée tous les mois car je ne trouve pas toujours les morceaux que je veux au super cacher (trop d'entrecôtes à 28 euros le kilo et plus de plat de côte ou poitrine de boeuf qui sont bien plus abordables...). Concernant les aubergines j'avais lu qu'il y a des aubergines qui contiennent beaucoup de graines et ce sont celles qui présentent une protubérance plus importante.Je ne peux me passer de la coriandre que j'ai d'ailleurs préparée cet après-midi,je l'ai hachée avec de l’ail et congelée bien à plat au congélateur pour en briser des morceaux facilement. Pourriez-vous me dire ce qu'est un café aux tomates??? ici le poulet surgelé avec une bonne surveillance est autour de 5 euros le kilo mais cela peut monter à 7 pas plus. Je ne vit pas à Paris où les prix sont bcp+élevés. Le blanc de poulet 10 euros en surgelé mais peut être plus cher en frais en tout cas pas comme chez vous.

I loved seeing your binder system! I had started collecting recipes for this purpose and another one for the festivals, but confess the process was set aside when I became widowed. Life has taken on some new learning curves. But I seriously should get back to the binder idea 😉💕 I would enjoy hearing more how you created your binder system.

[@frumitup]

My heart goes out for you Gail. May you be consoled amongst the mourners of Zion ( it is traditionally what we say to a mourner) Just from what and how you are writing i see your are a beautiful and strong soul. I am sending you virtual hugs. I will with pleasure walk you through how to make the recipe binder! I am sure yours will be prettier and better than mine!! Thank you again for sharing your kindness with the world Gail, it tells a lot about you! Stay safe and blessed my sweet Gail

Hi Dr. Sara, I'm making my way through your videos, and really enjoying them. When I buy eggs, I open the carton to check for cracks, then I smell the inside of the carton for any unpleasant odors. I'm a little extra. 🤣

[@dragondancer1814]

Sarah, believe me when I tell you it’s not just you as far as the self-checkouts are concerned! We have a love/hate relationship with thrm in our house too-my husband loves them and I _hate_ them, to the point where I will only use them if I’m in a hurry or I’m at the store later in the evening and the human-operated checkouts are shut down. We don’t have them at my job yet (I work in a craft store), but we’re supposed to have them installed next year-YIKES! And I also inspect my eggs carefully for cracks, because at today’s grocery prices and with my minimum-wage paycheck we cannot afford to waste food! Dented cans are also a no-go because of the potential for food poisoning even if the vacuum seal is still intact, which is a lesson my husband learned the hard way many years ago! So you’re not crazy-just cautious!

[@alexandrasmith7682]

Piece of well meant advice ..... Find a local Indian grocery store. Your spices will be great quality and a fraction of the price! As far as herbs ..... Teach your little ones to grow their own small garden at home. They often get a huge kick out of it and it will work out cheaper. The kosher sign on the oil was a UK official certification. You are Canadian, I think?? I see the dollar signs on some things. My Jewish half sister lives in New York.
