Desiree Cousteau posted:My favorite kitchen supply source is Goodwill, but I am getting fond of flea markets too. Where else can you get a set of 70's Revere Ware pans for $28? Thrift stores are also great for cast iron stuff too. Couple months ago I got a 12" skillet for a dollar, and a dutch oven for four.

I got one of those Zoku popsicle makers at a thrift store, and oh man. I'll use this thing all the time. Totally worth the eight bucks I spent on it.

Also I found out today that you can indeed eat too many tacos. I didn't think it was possible. But worth it. So much delicious tongue and tripe.

geetee posted:Since we're on the topic... Do you guys tip for takeout? I do, but not as much as I would have had I eaten in. Generally a couple bucks, because most of the time from what I've seen it's a server that has to take the time to box everything up for you, neglecting their tables a bit while they're at it.

Fried pickles are just great in general. I'll come out and say that I love the stupid Red Lobster biscuits. Over salted nonsense that they are and everything. So much that my mom bought the box mix of it that they have for sale at Sam's Club (which aren't as good).

I'm a newish Sam's Club member (under a year), and I can understand both of your arguments. I'm a single dude that lives in a one bedroom apartment so some of the bulk stuff I can't take advantage of (14 pounds of bacon for a buck a pound), but some are great. Like a giant gently caress off sized box of garbage bags that will last me three years for 9$. Some produce deals to be found too, one of my favorites is a giant bag of brussels sprouts (I think it's three pounds) for 5$, where a pound of them at my local grocery store is 4$. Saving 20-30 cents a gallon on gas is nice as well, and from what I've seen I'll get a nice discount on new tires for my car when I need them. I'm kind of biased though, I got signed up through a Groupon last year, so I only ended up paying like 8$ for the actual "membership" portion, if I value out the gift card I got and the free prepared food stuff that came with. Can't get booze at Sam's/Costco here though, I'm in PA, where liquor laws are fairly prohibitive, at least for retail.

Lithuania trip report even though I'm still here for another two days. I've never eaten so much pork, or so many potatoes/beets in my life. They put some weird cream sauce on pizza that is strangely tasty, and I'll probably miss when I get back to the states. There was some festival over this past weekend, so it was two days of walking around the rivers and old town, buying pints of local beer for about 2.40$ USD. Along with sausages and cabbage and all kinds of goodies. I've had a blast, hope I can convince work that I need to come over again soon.

Reading poo poo like that makes me happy that I grew up in a restaurant, so I was always open to different food. And now my favorite thing to eat is lengua tacos, and I won't bat an eye at intestines or tripe or anything "weird", even if it ends up grossing out my companions. If it tastes good, eat it.
