That bun to weiner ratio seems decidedly un Costco like.

Bullshit. The bun just needs to be big enough to get your fingers on it to deliver the hot dog into your mouth. They should just give you the dog and a single nitrile glove.

The bun is there to contain the condiments so you can optimize your onion/sauerkraut/mustard to sausage ratio.

Not saying it's bad just usually the bun contains the entire weiner. Did they change it up??

Zombie Dachshund posted:Costco had Serrano hams for $99 (with rack and knife!) I assume that at that price, it’s going to be pretty low-quality ham, but I’m still tempted. Where is this Costco located, brethren? US Customs will not allow people to bring jamon back from the motherland; I haven't had any in almost a week and I've got the shakes real bad, I need my fix bro, just a slice, just a slice ...

Why, the hammy land of Pennsylvania! I’m going to head back this weekend and see if there are any left. Might as well have a ham on hand for holiday entertaining. (and I feel your pain re: importing meats. I had to dump a bunch of salumi I’d bought on a trip to Italy a couple of years back. That suuuuucked.)

Ah drat, very far from me. Hopefully I can locate one. $99 for a whole one + board + knife is a steal for the US. My deepest condolences for having to toss your delicious contraband charcuterie . We finished our last 280g of jamon on the plane before those sons of bitches would take it from us on the ground. I was prepared to be chewing giant gobs of jamon in front of the customs agent as I declared nothing.

Any hotdog sticking out of the bun is cut off with a knife, claimed by my two year old. My wife ordered another chicken bake today, and peeled off the outer layer again. There was just a pile of crusty peelings on her wrapper when she was done. She was also squeezing it like a gogurt for our two year old to get some chicken bits. A++ would eat again, turned 45deg facing away from my wife so I don't have to watch.

Joe Friday posted:Has anyone scoped the electric blanket situation? I'm looking for both throw sized blankets and heating pads/comforters for queen beds. My apartment is made of crumbling brick and cold war era sawdust. Honestly I've been more satisfied getting two sherpas and making myself into a sherpa sandwich. My dog enjoys this setup as well.

All modern electric blankets are dogshit and won't last more than two seasons What you need is a good ol' 1970s houseburner. Those all work great - probably because they're made of poorly-insulated toaster wire hooked up directly to the mains.

Fwiw that feta is merely serviceable, it only seems great because 99% of American supermarket feta is dry, overpriced trash. You usually need to find a local grocer serving an expat community to find the good stuff, but if you do you can bring your own container and they'll usually hook you up with the brine too. Also, buy French or Bulgarian feta it's usually better. I was checking out the 2 day delivery via the app and it says free delivery, but there's a $2-3 upcharge on virtually every item, not blessed!
