The Lidls in the UK have a ‘Deluxe’ own brand range which has some pretty good items. Haven’t been for awhile but I remember some very nice Deluxe range Italian prepared foods from the chiller cabinet.

My lunches for the rest of the week: red lentils, brown rice, and this mint that needed to get used.

The store has only been opened a few months and I have not been there all that often as it’s not that convenient. It has a mix of their own products and standard supermarket offerings. I like it as there are generally very few shoppers there! It’s about 5 minutes from an Aldi but I’m an infrequent shopper there as well. It has an in house bakery with less than compelling items , I did buy a pasteis de nata there and was disappointed but not surprised. Will keep you posted.

Mushroom galette recipe from Everyday Dorie @ Dorie Greenspan. There will be lots of mushrooms in our menu. I got 5lbs from a mushroom farm.

Delicious smooshi from our favorite purveyor. My PIC really wanted the lazy white tuna (panko-breaded & deep fried), but I was pretty stuffed once I was done with my menu. Instead, we got the grilled shrimp with green asparagus, miso & unagi sauce. Much lighter & quite delish, too 
Stuff we didn’t get, but it’s so purtty to look at

To each their own. I strongly prefer the taste and texture of leaner pastrami, brisket, corned beef etc.
Carnitas tacos again, from La Mission in Berkeley. Much better than the ones at Cholita Linda that I had last week.
I see that I posted about them earlier this year.

As I perversely refuse to buy more food, my lunch today was sourdough discard crackers and (bad Trader Joe’s) brie.

Those are beauties. The sausage that made me love sausages.

Beggars can’t be choosers. Usually, the sammich selection at German Raststätten / Service Plazas along the Autobahn is large & of decent quality.
Perhaps the holiday today had something to do with the dearth of options.
At least they warmed up the baguette & melted the cheese properly
