You know what's even better than mimosas? Instead of OJ, pour some of the black raspberry Kirkland flavored sparkling water in your champagne.
That's good.

Try also Hibiscus (Jamaica in spanish stores) as an OJ Replacement. You can also use Cranberry Juice if you can't find it.

Man I bought both those lights and the Halloween cookie house already. They are indeed cool and good
Found the lights today. A little underwhelming. Might have to find a way to change their color temp.

May look for the cookiehaüs next week. When I formally get the Bag o Candy.

Also, halloweenies, the Co will have $4 off the King Size Candy boxes starting on the 2nd :spooky:

I am currently wearing the container of bitchin sauce like a feed bag for a horse, and I believe I have finally achieved samma vayama, step 6 on the eightfold path

My supermarket has 1.75L bottles of Cook's which is like the shittiest champagne you can think of but they're only 10 bucks. The .75L bottles are 8 bucks. I can't drink it straight but it's perfectly serviceable for mimosas.

It's the Kirkland version of Sparkling Ice. I used to do R&D for the brand name company and the stuff is god awful sweet from sucralose and over flavored.

Do not recommend, sorry. :(

Gross, yeah I definitely change the brush heads. The battery wouldnt last more than a day and I had to pretty much keep it charged all the time. I even bought a new charger for it thinking it was that. Hopefully I get 11 years out of my next one though!

Sad news, the local Costco near me got rid of the bratwurst, leaving only the mighty 1/4 all beef dog. They did add the Acai bowl which I didnt think was all that great.

I'm from Wisconsin and I got the brat once and didn't like it. They really do use a high quality brat though, Usinger's, but the grind is way too fine for me. I like a reasonably coarse ground brat. I'm spoiled as poo poo though because every grocery store makes their own brats and I can get apples and cheddar, hungarian, philly cheese steak, any kind of brat you can imagine.

The bog standard you'll find at grill outs is Johnsonville. They aren't bad but they donated to Scott Walker so they can go gently caress themselves.

Don't buy Johnsonville.

It's really ungodly bad, especially super overpriced at $6. I even recently tried the acai/vanlla swirl smoothie and it was a lot more expensive than just a vanilla one and the acai part ruined the whole thing. whatever they're doing, it sucks. acai bowls down in san diego are very good so they've really hosed up big time.

they should really just stick to simple handheld-bite stuff that they can excel at and produce/cook and sling out the door more simply, like hot dogs (polish plz), slices of pizza, empanadas, pupusas, churros, giant pretzels, bulgogi bakes, maybe even stromboli or something. a lot of these things they carry themselves or used to carry. expensive poo poo like fancy salads n acai bowls n hamburgers just doesn't really make sense

They had samples yesterday on warm naan and it won me over in one bite. Stupid good, hummus-ish. It’s like the much better sequel to hummus.

Also got a Sherpa on advice of the thread. The cats (and me) heartily approve. I got the queen and it’s huge, but now I’m wondering if I should have spent the extra $5 on the king. More Sherpa can’t be a bad thing.

Yeah I typed in hungarian knowing it's it's own thing but just left it.

And the specialty sausages are always labeled as brats around here. Same ingredients as a brat, just extra stuff.

Don't blame me I didn't make the entire local industry.

Yeah, the ones labeled as brats have the brat seasonings, plus other stuff like cheese and whatever. Hungarians, polish, Italians, etc are definitely not labeled as brats anywhere.

My step dad used to go to Rupena's and get a random assortment of sausages, mix them all up on the grill, and call them all brats. It was like sausage roulette. Made me nuts perhaps this is why I find this so frustrating
