Costco Opens in Canberra

Costco has been open in Canberra for about 8 days now from memory. My son has been over there twice. It is at the airport in the old DFO building from what I can gather. He got a card for membership, and with that my other son gets one for free because they live in the same household. So if I go visit I'll just bring my son with me to pay and I can pay him back. I wanted to see if they had any American things for my pantry. We were cooking from a blog a month or so ago and had to adapt recipes that had chipotle in them. My son went to David Jones in Sydney and found this for me.



I buy three dozen eggs each fortnight in my online fruit and vegetable order, that is kindly brought here 1 1/2 hours drive. So Costco having eggs for about $5 for 30 eggs sounds really good. I also used to buy cheese in 1kg packets from Murray Goulburn, Costco has 2lb packs which is handy. The yoghurt apparently is very very cheap. One of my online friends says her friend swears she saves heaps of money shopping there. My son wasn't going to get a membership until he researched the savings which he did I think.

I found another blog that has more pictures and here.

Recipes with Sumac

I love sumac, and have collected lots of jars. But now, I find I haven't used it for awhile. I saw Janella Purcell make a salad with it tonight on Good Chef, Bad Chef. I am not sure I would make it though, I don't buy bulk walnuts. Here are some other recipes.

Potato Salad with Chilli & Spring Onion

I don't know how many recipes there were when I first bought sumac, I am thinking not too many? Maybe I can search my blog and find what I said earlier.

Turkish Dumplings

Lamb Sausage & Salad Pitas (made with either lamb sausages, pork sausages or beef sausages)

Zucchini & Feta Fritters

Lamb Kofta with Fattoush

Baked Falafel with Roasted Eggplant Salad (you can get Falafel in a box and I never know what to serve it with)
