It was 92 degrees on Friday. It's late October. I grew up near Philly, this never ending constant relentless year round summer heat is like living in the Twilight Zone.

Costco boils the food court hot dogs, and I believe in the infallibility of the church.

Realtalk: As a rule, I’d never boil a hotdog, but the Costco food court dogs that you buy in the refrigerated section are far too salty when microwaved or grilled. Boiling them for 10 minutes makes them taste better, IMO.

It's normal to boil a sausage before you grill or fry it, it's hard to get the middle cooked otherwise which you don't want to do with ground pork

Juts booked a 9 day European vacation through Costco. It costs more than a similar trip I was looking at through Groupons but Costco is only giving you 4 and 5 star hotels in city centers within walking distance to all your destinations. The ones on Groupon were all tiny 2-3 star hotels 30min out of town. The Costco deal even includes private pickup from the airport with one of those little dudes holding the sign with your name on it.

Samples tables create a zone of anti-society. All social norms are gone once another party violates the contract.
This includes getting empty carts the gently caress out if there, or pushing your cart through people just lolligagging about.

ooo i finally understand what you guys were talking about with the queen sherpa. i had only been buying the Life Comfort (?) sherpas, and they are basically just enough for 1 person to hog. but i just saw they had some Monte+Carlos or something queen sherpa for $4 off and its loving huge oh my god. its so much better (but maybe a bit thiner which is fine)

jarlsberg was $4 off so got a block of that with some brussel sprouts, will make some swiss sprouts for dinner here in a few days.

My wife got the comfy Sherpa-Lined flannel and she passed out on the couch with it on.

Sadly, the mens receive no sherpa lining, but the heavyweight flannels are amazing. I feel like Al Borland.
They're also cut in a way that makes my gross fat blob body not look hideous so thanks Costco!

I made pelemeni and varenitikik for parents one time and tey each got a pile of carmelized onions

Neither of them knew what a caremelized onion was somehow and I thought they were joking about "what did you do to the onion" and dad said "fine dpon't tell me whatever"

Anyway they each ate the equivalent of one giant sweet onion with their russian raviolis

They last for much longer than that if stored properly but most people don't have a root cellar so it's understandable.
