Shopping in Hadley

Usually I pick up vegetables for the week from the small grocery store down the street. But this week I was passing by my favourite Asian food store in the next town over, so I bought the weekly groceries there. Okra! Gai lan! Oyster mushrooms! Black chickpeas! (And a whole bunch of other stuff!)

This dinner used some of my haul. On the left, Cashew and Coriander Stuffed Okra. On the right, Black Chickpea Stew (with coconut, chile, coriander and tomato). (Both from 660 Curries.) And in front, premade roti. The okra was great (but then we in this household can't get enough of okra in any form). As for the black chickpeas, well it turns out they're quite like regular chickpeas except their taste is maybe a little bit nuttier, and they take much longer to cook (45 minutes in the pressure cooker).
I was amused to see the Pillsbury doughboy shilling roti.
