What's for Dinner, Thurs., June 6, 2024
Spicy mango salad over mustard greens. The salad has shallots that I pulled from the garden last night. In addition, red pepper flakes, olive oil, lime juice, and cilantro.
I have boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the slow cooker. I bought them from WF and have had them before. So delicious. I have some peanut sauce I didn't use from a recent recipe, so I'm thinking I might put this sauce with one of the thighs for tonight.
Bottled up some cherry kombucha, too.
For dessert, I shredded a dark chocolate bar and toasted some peanuts and coconut. This will be the topping for a no-sugar ice cream sundae. Dark Chinese tea.

I've been meaning to mention this but forgot for a couple days. I went shopping at Aldi and found a tremendous price drop. It was widespread, too, not on just a few items. In fact it was so good that I doubled up on a number of items. I didn't know if it was permanent or temporary.
So I'm wondering if this is foretelling a price drop at other stores, and possibly a widespread drop in grocery prices. If it is, it would be great for the election.
A while back, we had another DU poster who pays close attention to prices say that she saw the overall trend downward.
I mentioned it to the Aldi checkout person and she nodded, knowing what I was talking about. If you go and check it out, just watch for the red tags.

Small salad too. See you all in the morning, iris asked if I could fill in for her until she gets back.
Good Evening,
I don't know if you caught Chris Hayes tonight, but he had a segment on how Biden has handled gas prices using the reserves as a powerful tool in the marketplace. The guest who was on to discuss it was Dan Dicker, who studies the oil market and I think he also has a newsletter, probably one of those high priced ones that goes to investors.
He was unabashed in his admiration for how Biden has bought when prices were low and sold when high. In fact, I think he said Biden made $5 billion on the last sale of oil reserves.
Anyway, if you can catch it, it is well worth watching.
Glad you're back! Always enjoy hearing about your energetic forays in the kitchen. 
Really nice to hear from you! I didn't watch Chris Hayes, nice to know that President Biden is handling some of the gouging. Read on DU last week that the oil countries are going to maintain the lower production rate.
So many people don't realize how masterful the Biden administration is. They are cleaning up the mess traitor left, improving so many areas of government. There are great minds focused on doing the best for the most
Happy Friday!
