Speaking of mushrooms what the hell's with the size of the ones in the stores now? Gone back to buying canned ones in the dollar store because when I want to use button mushrooms, I don't want ones the size of bar stools...
Yes, for sure the regular white mushrooms we've been buying lately (a couple of months maybe) are larger than I remember them being before. We usually only buy 6-8 at a time as for most things we make we only need a couple of them.

I didn't even see boxes of mandarins last Christmas? Anyone else notice that?
I did see some on display in Safeway well before Christmas but we didn't bother as past experience reminded us that there were always bad ones in the box and it was a waste of money. We did a few times buy small bags of them (about 12) and while they looked good from the outside half of them were good and half them were dried out on the inside. We got discouraged after a few bags and went back to regular old navel oranges, preferably the blue jay ones as they are sweeter.
