Scored 8 pounds of pork tenderloin for less than $14 last Thursday. Cut it up, froze it all save two tender slices for that night's dinner.

Wait they’re doing samples? During a loving pandemic? Customers yanking their loving masks down for half a potsticker all day in their faces... gently caress me my opinion of Costco just plummeted.

Gaius Marius posted:Counter point. You aren't allowed to eat them on the store and they're providing a good income for a lot of people who need supplementary income right now. My main concern is them forcing “minimum wage” folks to be forcibly exposed to the worst of the no maskers. If the workers are protected then I’m glad folks who need the income are getting the income.

Gaius Marius posted:They are not minimum wage nor are they unprotected. Costco has put a gently caress load of money and effort into protecting it's employees and contractors. That is fantastic. Sorry for my knee-jerk-ism. I haven’t been to church since the depths of the most extreme measures months ago. I loaded up and have been chipping away at my frozen stores since then. There were no samples at that time and I feared the worst when I heard they had resumed. It’s legitimately good to hear that Costco is taking care of their people. They have in the past but the now times are... weird. Also, just because I mostly lurk this thread, I honestly do appreciate y’all calling out the good poo poo to pick up. It’s been a good ride.

I made a long delayed pilgrimage a couple days ago and out of curiosity I grabbed one of the house pre-seasoned tri tips. Gave it an 8 hour bath in my sous vide and seared best I could in my cast iron (I'm buying a torch for next time, it's too odd of a shape to easily and quickly sear, at least for me.). It turned out heavenly. Buttery soft inside, with the fats rendering into the meat. The seasoning was just OK. For all the color, it was pretty mild. Next time I'll just do my own seasoning.

So, press that into all the nooks and crannies? Is the mechanism for getting the better sear the pressure or having that thing be as hot as the pan? Sorry, I’ve never used one of those, not trying to be obtuse.

fischtick posted:When my kid was in first grade, she designed (with some help) a science project where she had people rate apples from memory. Then she gave them peeled slices of apples (double blind!) and asked them to rank them by preference. Honeycrisp are amazing. A couple years back I picked bushel’s worth from an orchard and they were mind blowing. I slivered several up and let them soak in a handle of Evan Williams for a month. The apple whiskey was perhaps the best thing I’ve ever sipped. The whiskey got all to apple goodness, the apples absorbed the rough part of the whiskey. Unfortunately that orchard burned in last summer’s fires  Church talk. I made my first pilgrimage in a year, and this time I checked out the business Costco which is equidistant from me as the regular Costco. It’s cool as hell, but I do not have enough storage for the volumes I would have to purchase. Next time I have a cookout, I’m grabbing gone of those uncut blocks of ribeye steaks though!

I've never had the opportunity to get a whole prime rib/roast before, so I didn't know what I was looking at. Learning something every day, thanks. Next time I go, I'm bringing a parka. The MEAT ROOM is cold as hell and I was wearing shorts and sandals, so I didn't see everything nor had time to read all the labels. Also they had whole goats! I think they have whole pigs, but again, rushed through and didn't see them. Urge to buy chest freezer, rising.

Trastion posted:I saw these at Coscto yesterday. I almost bought a bag. I literally came here to post this because I bought a bag this morning. If you’ve ever had fried pickles, they taste exactly like those except with chip texture. Little bit of tooth as you chew from the tiny bit of cucumber in the center. They’re not “chips” however. They’re really broken down with only a few full sized “chips.” The bag indicates that they expect the end user to use them as a topping for Mac and cheese, salads, etc. with a serving size of 1 tablespoon. Hah. Hah hah hah hah!

I noticed my church has a fat pack of chicken meat pulled from not-sold-in-time rotisserie chickens for like, $12. Is that a decent deal, because it looks like at least 3 birds worth of meat? I’m teetering on my decision precipice.

Right? The meat in those packs looks a lot cleaner and, I don’t know how else to put it, *thicker* than what I shred from the birds I take home.

Well drat, that’s cool to learn, thank you. (I love having an inside line, a member of the clergy if you will, here to educate us.) That’s what I do with my chickens. Portion out and seal servings so I don’t have to do much thinking and cooking after work during the week. Especially in the summer. Also I don’t believe I’ve seen the quartered chicken pack. Is that in the same area? The row by the rotisserie chickens is always slammed so I rarely spend any time browsing. Just grab burd and gtfo. I will make the effort on my next run, likely Monday. Grab one of each!

Good gravy that 505 Hatch Green Chili salsa is amazing. I don’t think I’ve finished a jar of anything that size that quickly ever in my life. It is BOMB on eggs and I’ve never been a hot sauce or salsa on eggs guy. PBUC

They were like the child of a Mounds and an Almond Joy. This description is confusing as they are the exact same candy bar with the caveat: Almond Joy's got nuts, Mounds don't. Why is that jingle still stuck in my brain after all these years??

Pennywise the Frown posted:When I make scrambled eggs at home I always put salsa on them. These 505 chilis look enticing. Do it. The 505 converted me to a salsa on eggs person. I had an interesting experience on my last trip. During check out when they scanned my card the cashier called out to some runner. I had a moment of anxiety thinking I had inadvertently broken some protocol. Nope! Turns out I have spent enough to break even on an executive membership and they wanted to talk me into upgrading. They pro-rated me the rest of the year so I went for it. Very convenient system they have there.

I bring tidings of a Costco miracle, brethren. Never before in my life have I cracked an egg at home and found two yolks within. Yet with my most recent crate of eggs from Church, it has happened not once but twice, twice in the space of one week! Behold!  (Both times it was the second egg I cracked that gave up the doubles,)
