The tomato and bell pepper came from the garden.
The nopales were an experiment from foraged cactus. Definitely going to try a different recipe for that because the one I used left a lot of gel okra like gel making plating a little harder than it should be. Once I find the right recipe cactus will be a practically free food source
Instead of buying chicken thighs I bought a whole roaster and butchered it myself. This dramatically cuts the cost of chicken as long as you are going to use the whole thing. In this case I just used the thighs but I have uses for the rest including all the “waste” parts going to make a stock at some point.
Cost per person: $3.42 About a dollar of that was just cheese
I moved from North to South so I had a pretty good justification for coming up with a better name.
SoCal is like SanFran. It’s a shibboleth that tags one as an outsider.

But at least you have nopales. :D
And livermush. I was delighted to find when I moved to the Carolinas that there was a whole new breakfast meat in my life.
Oh rabbits, that sounds… remarkably like what we refer to as “scrapple,” roundabout the town where I grew up in, a bit yonder, North.
Liver mush is made with just the liver and as much tastier.
Zoiks! 🤢
Ah well… all people to their styles, mais non? :S
