I buy these for work, I recently bought a delicious frozen ramen with hunks of meat and real veggies and a smart bowl that is really good and filled with beans and quinoa and veggies and salsa. But that is the tip of the iceberg, they have tons of items that can work for lunches.

You guys should get the prime rib eye cap. It's the best ever. http://www.seriouseats.com/2012/05/meet-the-ribeye-cap-the-tastiest-cut-on-the-cow.html Also, the salmon and tuna are good quality and if you choose your packages wisely, they both provide sushi/sashimi-quality meat for a fraction of the normal price.

(though I wasn't a huge fan of the Udon, it wasn't bad by any stretch) Just go walk down the frozen isle and grab what looks good. It will usually run you about 2 bucks a meal.

Yuji Haraguchi, owner of the Brooklyn-based Osakana, a fish shop specializing in sashimi, recalls using them for marketing purposes when he worked as a sales representative for wholesale fish distributor True World Foods. Back in 2004, the company was trying to expand its customer base beyond Japanese restaurants, and Haraguchi's mission was to convince other restaurants to serve their customers raw fish besides tuna. "The term 'sushi-grade fish' was very effective in terms of making sales, but at the same time, I had to provide the right product and the right information," he says. Davis Herron, director of the retail and restaurant division at The Lobster Place fish market in Manhattan's Chelsea Market, agrees: "It's a marketing term that has little significance [with respect] to actually being able to consume raw fish." The appropriation of sushi and sashimi for this purpose makes sense, since many Americans eat raw fish primarily in Japanese restaurants. It's the "grade" portion that is entirely misleading. There is no national governing body that grades fish in the same way that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) grades beef. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues advisory guidelines that sketch out processes for handling a variety of fish meant for raw consumption, those guidelines are not intended to determine the quality of the fish in the way marbling determines the quality of beef—only its relative safety for eating raw. So when you see a piece of fish labeled sushi- or sashimi-grade, that means that the seller has judged it safe to eat raw. The claim is only as trustworthy as the fish market that makes it.

As you slice the fish for the final preparation, keep an eye out for parasites. Do this even if your fish has been frozen according to FDA guidelines—freezing kills parasites and prevents them from doing you harm, but it does not remove them—and even if you are using farmed fish. Anisakid larvae range in color from brown to white, are about a centimeter in length, and look very much like watch springs. Broad fish tapeworm larvae will be encased in a cyst, which looks like a diminutive grain of rice embedded in the flesh. Just use your fingers to remove them, or, if you're squirmy, fish tweezers. If you want to be really thorough about parasite removal, you can hold thin fillets (of fluke, say, or flounder) against a glass plate and shine a strong light through it, which will reveal many, if not all, of whatever parasites may be in the flesh. Similarly, cutting your fish in very thin slices will increase your chances of discovering parasites.

When we want to make sushi or poké, I always get the fish from the local Japanese grocery store because they regularly fly out high quality fish that they stand behind and have the best selection of rice, noodles, Japanese snacks, and all that jazz around here, and very solid produce too. There's an incredible Japanese bakery next door too. Sure, it's somewhat cheaper to buy salmon or tuna at Kroger or Giant Eagle vs. the Japanese market, but I am not an expert and I don't want to risk getting food poisoning when I eat raw fish. Sushi-grade may be total unregulated bullshit, but you really can't eat raw fish from just anywhere.

I would rather eat raw beef than raw fish, fish are far more likely to be filled with parasites.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:When we want to make sushi or poké, I always get the fish from the local Japanese grocery store because they regularly fly out high quality fish that they stand behind You don't even know how it's different and you just trust it blindly because it's from a Japanese grocery store? Sounds legit. After all, they "fly out the quality fish"! I've been eating raw salmon and tuna from Costco in sushi, sashimi and poke preparations for roughly 10 years. I am somehow still alive and have never gotten food poisoning from fish. Costco sells their own fresh poke that they make from the same fish they have in the aisle. Just be a realistic person, make sure the fish was frozen, cut relatively thin (which you would do for sashimi and sushi anyways!) so you can theoretically see any parasites. Not that I've ever actually seen one. Some straight up ignorance around here.

You could get a 3 lb bag of the broccoli florets and make a brocolli salad preparation that would last for a week or two. Broccoli salad is suprisingly delicious and it lasts a lot longer than a prepped salad. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2017/05/broccoli-salad-radicchio-basil-pistachio-recipe.html

Anybody tried that giant bag of Korean noodles with black sauce they sell? I eyeball them every time. Also I got Goodyear rugged floor mats, front and rear, for goddamn $18.99. Going to invest in Weathertech ones before winter but until then, PBUC.
