Also I bought one of the huge pork loins on sale, need to figure out how to cook all that. I'm thinking slow in the pressure cooker?

regular pork loin (not tenderloin) kinda sucks for slow cooking tbh, i find the best use is to either butterfly and pound out into schnitzel or brine and cook it as a roast of some sort.

so I'm preparing to do my first costco run - can I just get a membership right in the store, or do I need to get it online first? I know I can get it first online and then get the physical card in-store, but can I just do it all there?

I'm not really much of a kitchen person, but if there's no other solids in the soup, would an immersion blender work?

There is an online deal now for 30bux as a gift card when you buy a gold memberhsip, for some reason through Gamespots online deals store??? (which i didn't even know was a thing)

Times must be tough for ripping off people on used games now that everything is digital, gotta diversify.

My Costco appears to have just gotten some, or at least they appear to have. It's the Nina brand, right? The can says from the San Marzano region. I'm gonna get a pack and see about making my own sauce.

Edit: btw, does the tomato sauce freeze well? Or store well in the fridge? That's my main issue with not making my own sauce, I only use a little at a time.

Yes tomato sauce freezes very well, I always make a big batch and then portion it out into plastic containers with snap on lids. Just don't try to freeze a glass jar, obviously.

I feel like I need more information on the smoking of the cream cheese here. Do I just throw the block on the grill and hope for the best??

Most people use foil or a cast iron skillet and not just directly on the smoker, you can also rub it with dry rub before you throw it on but otherwise yeah just the whole drat brick.

I just go at 7pm on a weekday and it is all the parking you could ask for, no lines at the self checkout, and maybe have to wait to get gas but not a huge line. Only downside is no samples, but small price to pay.

To further this derail, caesar supposedly did not have anchovies, but who knows and anchovies make everything better anyway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQJkasR3Iak
Also it is a boring rear end salad and the croutons are the best part

I worked at Sam's Club as a teenager (loving forever ago) and it was awful and I assume just as bad as working at walmart itself tho probs with slightly better pay, had to do the corporate team building bullshit every shift start and ugh. I started as night stock and they let my dumb 18 year old rear end drive the forklift while having zero training or any idea what I was doing, I'm amazed I never killed myself/someone else. I then switched to working the cigarette cage where i sold cartons to Chaldean who owned liquor stores/gas stations and just listened to my radio and smoked weed all day and that was pretty sweet. I never shopped at any walmart anything after that point.

I can get a free Sam's Club membership via work but still pay for my Costco card every year instead.

Speaking of which; anyone tried the Kirkland Orange cognac? It’s about :10bux: cheaper than Grand Marnier for a 750ml bottle and was wondering if I can safely switch for my margaritas/sidecars

E. Also, the big bottle of corralejo reposado is where it’s at quality/price-wise imo

I like it, its very close to grand marnier, especially in a margarita. I don't think I would be able to tell the difference unless maaaaybe tasting them side by side. Plus you can't beat the price. The only place I could see it being worth the real deal is if you are drinking it neat like some sort of weirdo.
