Oh no! I haven't been to our Korean supermarket in awhile, but I didn't think about the tariffs. I love the produce at Han Mart, it's so beautiful and varied. Where am I going to get bok choy now? I wonder if this means the prices at the good Asian restaurants will be going up too? At least I have some smaller produce stands and some organic grocery stores.

Pete accompanied me to the large coop, one state north. We spent $225. Some items were much cheaper than our local coop, so I bought two (or four). I did intend to stock up, and I did tell Pete that I was going to spend $200 so she didn’t start taking food out of the cart.

I suspect that any current increases in price are opportunistic. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think our local Asian markets have restocked with new products yet.

Aldi didn't have these for awhile, but now they're back, and they have a new Cheese flavor!

I like your idea PlatinumPearl for buying fresh produce from local produce vendors. We have (in our metro area) a variety of ethnic vendors: Ukrainian (Russian and Slavic too), Japanese, Korean, and Chinese American produce vendors at community farmer markets that offer fresh produce from their gardens. I buy local all the time. (f)

We have the “Jade” sector in our metro area which features many types of Asian markets: Fu Bon, Hong Fat, Hong Fat II ( three super wealthy Asian business men cobbled their riches together to buy out the Walmart complex at Eastport shopping area to expand their Asian presence in the Jade District of our metro area).

Have you ever tried an Asian buffet?? We’ve got an excellent venue east of our metro’s Jade District…. FJ Buffet (all you can eat buffet with fresh seafood choices of many types, all kinds of fresh sushi, desserts, salads, hot bar that changes out daily each meal time that offers awesome hot food choices).

Here’s a link to their business: https://fjbuffet.com/

My long time friend at work treated me to dinner on my birthday at this buffet.

It was delicious, very enjoyable, wait staff service was tops ( I tipped our waitstaff for their timely, quiet, service), and the aura in the buffet was complimented by very soothing Asian instrumental music. Their wet bar service offered limited choices of beverages, but the tea or coffee or even water was triple filtered and very tasty. Dinner for those of us over 60 is affordable, and regular pricing for adults and children is exceptional too. Very affordable. You take your time to eat all you want to eat. We spent over two hours there enjoying a hearty meal. My lady friend ate fresh squid, and she loved it. Of course, I had fresh crab on the half shell. Couldn’t pass that up at all! Best of all, they are open on Sunday and on all American holidays. I know where I’m going on Thanksgiving, this year... :eyebat: :balloon: (f)

:blush:Game changer, for sure!

While on vacay, my nephew -in-law had this and brought it out when we had take out Chinese one night. Oh, soo much better than the little packets and measures up to good wasabi. I ordered it on line last night. Now deciding what Chinese dish I want tonight.


Also, a candle came today. It's a wood wick. It was brought to my attention, it will sound like a crackling fire.
And a pair of my favorite NFL team socks. I can wear them on game days. ....hurry football season!!

I've been on the hunt for cook books with new ideas. So, I went to the library and checked out a couple. I love them! I checked online and found some good used copies of the ones I wanted. Both where around $5 with free shipping.

WOW!!!

I opted for toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap. Nothing fun. Well, I did find a blu tooth portable CD player. ( I cant seem to part with my old CDs.) And a phone case. (I got a new phone the other day.)

I changed cell carriers ( Spectrum)and got a whole year free! It will be $30 a month next year. ( and I thought I had a deal with T-Mobile.)

Yesterday: I bought one of those coffee tables where the top lifts up to use for dining or a desk. I got it off marketplace for $30. On my way to pick it up, I stopped to get exact change. I bought a $2 ticket and won $20! I don’t gamble much, so it was wicked cool.
Today: I’m buying fencing for the pups so they can go in and out while I’m at work. I’m a little nervous about this set up. But I know my older dog, Henry, can’t hold it for 11 plus hours….
Also getting tires and an oil change today.

A new battery for my car$$$

Why hasn't anyone invented a guage to tell us when the battery will die?? Surprize! It won't start!

GeorgiaMa'am 07-19-2025 01:57 AM

Two lamps for my bedside tables. These match the style of my newly redecorated en suite bathroom, but not my sadly out-of-date (meaning: decorated by my next to last girlfriend) bedroom. Time to get started redecorating my bedroom! Of course, now I'll be designing around my lamps and bedside tables (the only things I have that are new) but that's ok.
