Procurement Guide

Purchase all ingredients with the house card. Mark receipts with "distro" for house accounting.

Baldor

After logging in to the swampdog account at baldorfood.com (login in bitwarden), click "SMARTSHOP" in the top-right, then "MENUS", then click to shop the "Distro" menu. Baldor's minimum is $200. They deliver next day and require someone to sign and receive. The ingredients that come from Baldor are:

  • rice (long grain)
  • dried chickpeas
  • dried cannellini beans
  • potatoes
  • cabbage
  • onions
  • jalapeño peppers
  • cilantro
  • garlic (peeled)
  • lemons
  • coconut milk
  • canola oil
  • canned whole peeled tomatoes

Aldi

Aldi carries the rest.

  • chicken thighs (bone-in, with skin)
  • green bell peppers
  • frozen peas
  • fresh ginger
  • chicken stock
  • green onions
  • mini peppers
  • cucumber

Amazon

Though we don't like Amazon, it's the most efficient means we've found to stretch $ for spices. We get all our spices from them.

Tools

When the time comes to scale a recipe or calculate a new approximation of cost, you can either get busy on google sheets or use an online recipe scaler--in which case just list the whole-dollar cost next to each ingredient. To update the amounts listed in the recipes, contact Ben.
