Yes they have. Private label have been made by bigger brands for a long time. Worked for Jimmy Dean (of the once Sara Lee Corp) & they made or make most store brand breakfast sausage/sandwich products. Last company I worked for what makes corn dogs and beef jerky products under various labels.

Traveling tomorrow.

So I bought HEB deli ravioli with buffalo mozzarella, balsamic vinegar, and pecorino romano. Product of Italy.

Not too bad for an inexpensive pre-made product. 🍜🇮🇹

The ravioli described in the text above garnished with chopped parsley and olive oil in a small white bowl or a brown placemat.

On the road tomorrow early AM to visit my older, double amputee brother who is in a nursing home in Odessa, TX.

Four hour drive each way. Staying one night. His sleep schedule is erratic so even with that I don't know how much I will actually get to see him and he's not sleeping.

Those look wonderful!

Yes, but iceberg does have its uses. Grilled or in soups or lettuce wraps when you don't want to spend extra money on butter or leaf lettuce. Or for a wedge salad w/1000 Island or dressing of your choice.

Hot Thai Canadian Thanksgiving! 🇨🇦 Pailin from HTK lives in Vancouver. This was her Thai influenced Thanksgiving.

"Turkey breast marinated in Gai yang marinade. Served with nam Jim jaew. The “greek-Thai salad” used nam Jim seafood as the dressing. Gravy + jaew combo was very good"

Tonight's repast. A bowl of chili with lime and jalapeno slices and cheddar and Hatch chili cornbread.

🍽️🍜🌶️

A white plate with three pieces of cornbread on the left side and a bowl of chili with a wedge of lime and sliced jalapeno on the right.

I used Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm kit as the base, minus the packets of masa and dried onion & garlic. I used sauteed fresh chopped white onion and garlic instead. Also added a tsp of Chipotle powder, extra Cayenne and a tsp of smoked paprika.

A 6-in cast iron skillet made with Martha White Mexican cornbread mix where I've added chopped Hatch chili and freshly grated cheddar cheese. The skillet is sitting on a black trivet on a gray countertop.

A lot of music from my youth came from the Moody Blues. John Lodge & Justin Hayward were big influences back then. 🎶🎸

It's a no-cook Friday moi. Beef pho for lunch. 🍜

On the left side of a brown restaurant table is a rectangular plate with chopsticks, a red spoon, bean sprouts and a wedge of lime and on the right side in a metal bowl is the pho.

Part of the price comes from smaller herds. Older ranchers getting out of the business and many times the younger ones don't always want to take over.

But the soybean fiasco will result in a bailout and since many producers are farm corporations it's "socialism for companies".

Made stacked enchiladas again with carnitas, red sauce, onions and cilantro in the layers and cheddar cheese. A couple of fire grilled jalapenos in the side of guacamole to round it out. 🍽️🍜🌶️🇲🇽

At the bottom of a white plate are the enchiladas. Top left are two, two grilled jalapenos and top right is a side of guacamole.
