Awhile back I picked up a box of these haunted house gummies for $2.97



I finally got around to eating a few handfuls and they are delicious. Incredible perfect gummy texture. Good flavors. They even smell nice.

They also contain so much food coloring that I’ve been dropping disturbingly blue logs for the past couple days. Not sure if that’s a pro or a con for these things.

It’s not sparkles, but the ol’ Costco did have an animal based head scratcher on offer today

They’re amazing. Completely worth it just don’t get the model with the attached electric toothbrush because that accessory is no good and the little charging hole for it is a hard to clean dust magnet.

On my most recent trip, the local Costco was completely sold out of not only my beloved Clover half & half, but almost all dairy.

They did have some Strauss egg nog though, and I really needed something to dump in my coffee, so I went for it and it’s real good.

Still, I feel a tinge of sadness whenever I reach for the bottle and good ol’ Clo isn’t there creepily leering back at me.

All this chili crunch talk got me craving some Chinese at breakfast time, so I threw a few slices of that fancy rear end Costco jamon in some congee with a bit of sautéed asparagus and it was divine. I was worried it would be a bit too salty with the doufu ru but it was perfect. A highly recommended method of ingress to ham heaven.

That’s what happens when you wait two years for a return. Good news is Costco will take it.

I was chatting with Dr Mrs Fontaine over lunch today and she’s all excited because a coworker filled her in on which Costco to visit to get what she described as “the good kind of sea cucumber”. And, uh… I’m just not so sure about this.

Does anyone have a recipe they can vouch for? Don’t think I can get out of this one unless I figure out a way to get banned from Costco for life within the next week or so.

1. put in cold water and rehydrate for 3 days in the fridge. change water 1/day
2. after the third day, poach 30 minutes. you can test doneness by poking it w/ a chopstick or something. you can add vinegar to reduce fishy smell. if they stick together just cut them apart. there wasn't too much sand or anything in there but be careful about the smell
3. it's more like 50 mins than 30

add to whatever seafood dishes

e: gently caress i thought you wanted instructions for cleaning and prep. i don't have any recipes for you sorry lol. use it anywhere you'd use octopus

Thanks! These are the frozen ones, not the dry ones, so I think the prep is a bit different. Good to know that they poach about like octopus though. That opens up a lot of possibilities.

Your link says they are at least partially dehydrated, then frozen. Don't know how that changes things, maybe they do that just to shrink them down?

Huh. I wonder what’s supposed to make these ones better then? Guess I’ll find out on second new year.

Anybody know how the sushi at Sam's Club is? I had some kind of crunchy roll at Albertsons yesterday and it was pretty good and now I got the craving fierce. I figure, Sam's Club and Costco gotta be pretty much the same thing, right? Well, our little town only has the Sam's Club. Y'all have a happy Saturday now.

Ziplock that sucker. Toss it in a beer cooler with 130° water for an hour or so. Pull it out. Pat it dry. Season with salt and pepper then give it the quickest sear you possibly can.

And where do they keep the kimchi? That's another thing I haven't seen.

It’s not consistently stocked from Costco to Costco. Of the several that I get to pick from based on whatever traffic is least lovely for the day only two of them regularly have kimchi.

On lucky days I get to visit the one that has both double-g kimchi and Vicolo corn meal pizza. Those days are rare though because the god of this world is a hateful god.

Anyone have one of those Kirkland Stearns & Foster mattresses? What are your thoughts? Is it at least less of a rip-off than every other mattress seems to be? Been waking up with aches and pains for awhile and figured it was all downhill from here. That is until I spent the other night in a hotel and realized this dumbass tuft and needle is what’s aging poorly.

Such a disappointing piece of garbage. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Tuft & Needle.

I have an S&F mattress, but I got it at a regular mattress store. We actually showed the cheaper Costco model to the salesman to negotiate a better price on ours. It's been great for about a year so far, but it's hard to judge a mattress in that little time.

How much did they let you argue it down? The Kirkland is running at $899 right now which I’d be pretty happy with but I’m open to apostasy if the deal is good.

OK, more specifically, the price of the mattress itself stayed the same (closer to $2000), but we got free sheets, pillows, topper, box spring, delivery, and old mattress removal. The one at Costco was medium firmness and we were set on full firmness, so it was a bluff. I'm sure the salesman also felt like he was pulling one over on us, because otherwise he wouldn't have offered those things, but it was a way better deal than what they were offering beforehand.

Oh yeah no way am I giving up my faith for that. $899 delivered, removal included, and if it sucks I’ll strap the drat thing to the roof of my car and then it’s Costco’s problem.

Costco website is like entirely separate from the physical stores, it's contents have zero relation to what's actually stocked in the stores.

You can call any store with an item number from the website and and get a stock confirmation and in-store price in just a minute or two.

Don’t call without items numbers unless you want to make new enemies.
