The TMX does tend to have that effect on us - lots of cooking there Chris.

Where is Bas foods, disgruntleddog? I'm only a couple of suburbs away and spending way too much money at Coles lately, think I should check it out. Is it on Sydney Rd?

Disgruntleddog,  where is Bas Foods.?  I usually go to Ray's Nuts in Hall St. Moonee Ponds.  They have most things I need,  however i see a couple of things on your list that they don't have.  While in Melb., we also go to a great Chinese Supermarket in Racecourse Rd.  

[disgruntleddog]

It's on Victoria Street, west of Sydney Road.

Fantastic place to shop. They are a major supplier to all of the Middle Eastern Restaurants along Sydney Road.

Hi, just an inquiry what is Frike, I've never heard of this...

[disgruntleddog]

It's green wheat. We've never used it before. Bought it on a whim.

[achookwoman]

Sounds interesting.  Farfallina might be able to help with this,

[goldfish]

This might help with frike - tells what it is and how it's processed

I've used freekah before and love it. It is especially nice in sooups and casseroles.

I love the shopping list Chris. I've never heard of black turtle beans though.

Cookie black turtle bean are a south american bean. They are a true black bean and are fairly small. The whole bean is black unlike the black beans used in an asian black bean suace which are essentially a soy bean with a black spot on them. 

I have used them to make black bean brownies.  No flour just the beans sugar cocoa etc. I have not tried making this with the thermomix.  I will have to find the recipe and have a go converting it then I will post it.

I love the Black Turtle Beans.
I have a recipe somewhere for "Turtle Burgers" that I make from time to time.
I horrify my vegetarian friends when I tell them we are having them.
I will have to find it and convert it to use the TC.
It will certainly make it a lot quicker.
They are really yummy and even my DH who loves his steak is very happy to eat them.
