A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous—got me?

topenga posted:

I am sad today, my friends. I attended church and found what I needed then I passed by the lovely rotisserie chickens. This would make a great dinner and lunches for a couple days, thought I!

I brought home the sacred bird, fixed up some sides, then cut into the famed poultry.

It was raw.

poo poo happens, but man, I was so looking forward to that chicken.
Do you mean it was a bit pink inside? Because colour isn’t a predictor of safety in cooked poultry. .

quote:

15. Why is some cooked poultry pink?
Chemical changes occur during cooking. Oven gases in a heated gas or electric oven react chemically with hemoglobin in the meat tissues to give it a pink tinge. Often meat of younger birds shows the most pink because their thinner skins permit oven gases to reach the flesh. Older animals have a fat layer under their skin, giving the flesh added protection from the gases. Older poultry may be pink in spots where fat is absent from the skin. Also, nitrates and nitrites, which are often used as preservatives or may occur naturally in the feed or water supply used, can cause a pink color.

speaking of staples, what are the year-after-year staples that people get anyways, or like common reason-to-go-if-out-staple?

costco tp
costco paper towels
box of sparkling water
box of unsalted butter (freeze it)
crate of cagefree eggs
costco mexican cheese blend (freeze one)
uncooked tortillas
box of 10 gal garbage bags (usually only need to buy a box like once every 3 years tho)
costco pre-cut sheets of aluminum foil
costco cling wrap( usually like once every 3 years)
ziplock bags
costco shampoo
costo conditioner
costco bodywash (the 2-pack thing is insane)
tide advanced power something laundry poo poo
tide blue dish soap
whatever dishwasher pods are on sale (i think the powerball?)
feminine hygiene poo poo for the gf
the 2-pack of unbleached organic flour or something
20lb bag of basmatti rice (usually like once every 2-3 years)
usually block of tillimook sharp chedder or cabot extra sharp, twin-pack of parmesean, the feta in that rectangular container

normandy blend and usually baby spinach. not otherwise a fan of much of their produce compared to just getting on as-needed from my cheap asian-ran produce market, a few blocks down besides strawberries or lil cuties (sometimes)

i still only go like maybe 10x a year tops b/c its too busy to bother with, so that probably plays a factor in mostly getting stuff that's more staple-oriented instead of perishables, like poo poo i could get at like target, but much higher quality and cheaper per unit/quantity price

Pretty much everything you can get a Costco pack of, I do. Toothpaste, deodorant, rubbing alcohol, rubber gloves, bacon, rice, onions, steaks.

I just bought some Costco "bath sheets" and it's like drying yourself off with a blanket after a shower. They're great.

I can't trust my wife to go to the co without me. The Scott brand institutional toilet paper (individually wrapped) was priced significantly less per roll than even the Kirkland's. It's single ply, and the worst tp I've ever encountered; I would donate it, but that seems like a punishment to whoever gets it. We're going to suffer through for the next 6 months.

Brothers, not every deal at Costco is the same, sometimes it's a curse. Heed my warning, don't let this fate befall your house! Buy Kirkland's tp.

Nope. There was no "a bit pink". It was quite raw. I know what straight up raw chicken looks like (I have hosed up my fair share of chickens. Those poor birds did not deserve that). Also the juices were not clear, they were still pink.

I did contact Costco through chat last night (The store was closed by the time I realized) and they said they would pass along my concern and for me to return it today for a refund. It's not even about the refund, I just wanted to let them know something might be up with this batch.

PBUC!

Scott's single ply is exclusively what my dad buys. My mom will go buy her own TP and bring it to the bathroom she's using

That Scott stuff is the exact same thing you find at cheap hotels. I always get the Charmin, but maybe next time I'll try the Kirkland branded one; I was always worried it was more like the Scott instead of the Charmin.

And you should donate it to a local homeless/women's shelter. They'll appreciate it even if it's not the highest quality.

What’s the word on Kirkland toilet paper. I’m gonna need some more shortly and buying that much toilet paper is quite a commitment for someone that lives alone.

The toilet paper is excellent and I live alone and buy it myself.

Consider getting the Kirkland moist flushable wipes. They are so good. Everyone who has given the wipes an honest try at my house has been fully converted. You'll never use gross dry wood fiber to wipe your rear end in a top hat again.

Wisdom right here. The toilet paper mixed with a flushable wipe is fantastic butt cleansing practice.

Can someone explain to me why a thread on costco is over 10,000 posts long. Is it because capitalism won, or that costco has such excellent deals. If this is a thread against capitalism then I can understand why it's so long.


This thread is actually for capitalism. That is, capitalism done right. And Costco is one of the few companies on this planet that pulls that off.

Went to a newly opened location today. Food court line was a mess while I was walking in but they have two lines dedicated for a Kiosk pick up. Went inside, bought my usual rotisserie chicken and some staples, breezed through the kiosk for a burger and made life so much easier.


On that note, this same shopping area is building a chick-fil-a and In-n-out. So this was probably the first and only time I'll ever get the burger. Kinda disappointed in it.

At the 'co right now in south east Wisconsin taking communion. Onion situation optimal.

Got 2 boxes of the Premier Protein shakes to rfill. 30g of protein. That's more than most powders. They didn't have my bananas and cream so I'm trying the vanilla and caramel flavors.

The bulgogi mandu they sell in the frozen section are amazing. Pretty good sized pillows of deliciousness, and a serving of 4 is only 280 calories.
