Re-upped to Costco today after like 5 years. Got a $1.50 dog with drink + refill but there were NO onions to be seen. My wife got a churro and it tasted like playdough. It was awful. Also they had way more electronics than I remember but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

Where are the hatch chilis usually located? I’ve checked two Costco’s and can’t find them.

Just in case this wasn't immediately obvious - you will want to use a grating attachment for the food processor. It works very well. I don't think throwing a block of cheese into the regular blades would work too great. Or maybe it would, I dunno. Use the attachment.

Tricky Ed posted:Tell me of the Honolulu Costco. I won't have a rental car. Is it worth trying to Lyft for a visit? We went to the one in Kona and it was fun just to see all the local/different stuff available. It’s the only Costco on the big island and was insanely busy. I’m guessing it’s the only one on Oahu and will be similarly busy.

I had to replace the carburetor in my gas pressure washer because I let it sit too long. I told myself I wouldn’t make that mistake again and that was like 10 months ago. So don’t be like me if you get a gas pressure washer.

Zombie Dachshund posted:Last trip to Costco I picked up a pack of frozen stuffed squash blossoms: they are stuffed with ricotta and smoked provolone and deep fried. One of my favorite Italian snacks, and much easier than waiting until July when the blossoms are in season and frying them myself! Highly recommended. Ah man, I need to try and find these. The fried squash blossoms we had in Rome was some of the best food we had in Italy.

binge crotching posted:Has anyone bought that Dyson fan/air purifier that's on sale? With summer starting here that means wildfire season isn't far behind. It's really expensive, but is it actually worth it? I think it's a HEPA filter air purifier attached to a very expensive blade-less fan. You could probably save a lot of money with a decent purifier and regular old fan.

FogHelmut posted:I have the Ninja foodi that's the combination, the air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, etc. It's fine. It's very big and heavy though. I find myself getting similar results with the convection setting on my oven, also I can cook more in my oven. A lot of people don't have convection ovens in the U.S. (I never have) so an air fryer can be nice to have. I also have the Instant Pot attachment and yeah you can't cook very much in it. We actually have the older attachment but they sell ones now with the fryer and pressure lid combined, which saves even more space.

It can continue to ferment and get real funky but yeah old kimchi is perfect for fried rice and is exactly what we use it for. I prefer 'fresh' kimchi whether that be cabbage or anything else. There is probably a more accurate Korean term but we like kimchi green onion, cucumber, radish, all kinds of stuff. So good. Kaddish fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Jul 20, 2022 |
