I would buy it for a large event if the people I was inviting were not that picky about their coffee and I didn't have time to roast something good. It's better than Starbucks but that ain't saying much.

I’ve never seen this one, I’m in the Vancouver BC area and coffee selection seems pretty localized. Will keep an eye out though! Definitely prefer a medium roast. I’m enough of a coffee snob to have preferences on where the beans are from with central america being my fav (and hawaii but I rarely get kona because $$). At least from the local good roasters anyway.

IronClaymore posted:There's a significant trend that I am obligated to say is not-fascist in any way, for people to buy products that are ultimately sourced, or at least processed, in their own country. Yep, definitely no mercantilism or fascism or isolationism involved, yes. I don't know about all that but we watched America's Test Kitchen and that's where we learned it. Since it has America in the name you might be onto something? Relevant quote (though there are several interesting paragraphs in there): https://www.americastestkitchen.com/taste_tests/1637-supermarket-extra-virgin-olive-oil posted:It starts with the source. Six of the 10 brands we tasted are sourced from multiple regions—and from one to as many as 11 different countries—which increases the likelihood that the oils were collected from a price-driven global bulk market that prioritizes cheap, not high-quality, oil. Conversely, our winner is made from olives that are grown within 150 miles of the pressing and bottling facility. The company knows exactly what types of olives go into its oils and is willing to share the information, whereas the bottlers of some lower-ranking brands wouldn’t reveal the varieties used in their products, making us wonder if they even tracked such information (one brand admitted that it didn’t). Y'all need to calm down about olive oil. Point still stands there's one Kirkland EVOO that is single sourced and the other three are mixed. So far it has been good advice and since someone asked, I thought I'd share what I'd learned.

The best thing to do with jamón serrano is to slice up a baguette, lightly toast the slices, rub a cut garlic clove on the bread, smash a tomato half into the bread (just the pulp, no skin), add salt/pepper/olive oil, and put a thin slice of the jamón on top. Perfect cocktail appetizer!

Yeah the costco burg was nothing to write home about, and was a lot more expensive than the dog n soda. I think it came with fries here though. Chicken tendies & fries with a dog and soda is the hungry man meal, but eat the dog first because the chicken is approx 1000degC when it comes out of the fryer.

We swung by the co today, mostly because we needed Lysol wipes, and they had the cinnamon roll pull-apart bread in the bakery. It looked amazing, but there's no way I'd be able to eat the entire thing on my own (I mean, I'm sure I could, but I'm trying to watch my diet, so 12 servings of cinnamon rolls is a no-go). We got mangoes and bag of Normandy blend, which is pretty much the opposite.

LadyPictureShow posted:We swung by the co today, mostly because we needed Lysol wipes, and they had the cinnamon roll pull-apart bread in the bakery. we got the frozen bag of mangos and it makes a good smoothie. actually we also got the costcos bag of frozen cherries and a cherry-mango smoothie with some yogurt and lemonade and stuff is great. speaking of which, we really need a new loving blender, especially with summer coming up. i think we're at the point were we're interested in spending some money on a long-lasting blender that will gently caress the poo poo out of frozen fruits. ours kinda sucks because all the frozen stuff just gets tossed slightly above the blades and then just spins around doing nothing and really gotta soak it with a ton of liquids to get into a more blendable slurry and constantly shake it while it's blending, which kinda sucks. what's a solid blender that can really blend up frozen stuff? iirc some people were saying vitamix sucks now and to stay away.

My tip for the frozen cauliflower rice: cook it DRY on the stove for a bit to get some moisture out before using it in anything. No oil or butter. Would probably work in the oven too.

I've had no issues with the $70 Ninja they sell at Costco, but I'm not a mixer power user. I'd give it a shot and see if it does what you need. Vitamix is typically considered the gold standard if you want to spend hundreds.

I got the Oster blender that was the runner up in the wirecutter reviews and it’s quite good. I do find sometimes it doesn’t hit one or two chunks of frozen stuff when making smoothies but it has a lot of power and most of the time it gets everything. https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-blender/

Pretty sure I saw them yesterday in Concord, but my brother had already bought me a bag so I didn't look closer. He lives on the peninsula so they're probably all over the bay. Not sure how much they are but considering how much the small bags go for they're probably not cheap. But who cares, they're the best ones you can buy. I've gotten lovely stale small bags from the grocery store before so maybe check the date on the bag before you buy. My bag says sept 21st and its GOOD
