Mini Shopping Trip at Outpost

I got sick of an empty blog, so I thought I'd make a short post showing a few interesting products I bought at Outpost.



The palm sugar and tamarind concentrate is for volcano chicken (a great thai dish). I've never made it, but have eaten my fair share of it. And I figure the ginger juice would go good in a random stir fry or other Asian dish.

I left out the split chicken breast because it isn't as photogenic as the others, but that dinner will be in a future blog post.

One other thing worth mentioning: they had a sign out for black garlic which I have only seen one time at one store (oddly, it was a local chain store in a bad neighborhood). Unfortunately they were out (although it seems pretty easy to buy online).

Black garlic is a somewhat pricey specialty ingredient used in Asian cooking. It is sweeter and has less of a harsh flavor than normal garlic. I'm sure that will show up in a future post as well.
