That looks like the cibatta cheese buns they sell in the bakery which are good but man they are greasy as hell.

Yeah the cheese and buttery croissant combo makes this a sometimes treat for me. Came out nice and crisp from the oven, though.

Finally tried the chicken sandwich we have up here in :canada: Pretty disappointed... chicken was dry, the breading was super heavy, but the thing that made it somewhat unenjoyable was the fact they used a crunchy cheese roll as the bun! it was such a chore chewing this drat thing, wouldve been so much better with a soft bun!

picked up a bag of pretzel chips and nutella to dip them in, im afraid these wont last for another few days :btroll:

the bun looks like those artisan rolls or w/e from the bakery dept. just with some cheese added by the food court
I bought of pack of those rolls thinking they'd be good for sandwiches but they were so insanely tough/chewy I tossed the pack immediately after trying one. No idea how they're a permanent item in the bakery around here, they're horrible lol

I don't understand those fish skin snacks. I want to like them but a deep down part of me feels like I'm eating the flaked food I feel my idiot tetras. Kinda smell a little like it too if you catch the bag air wrong.

I have the same problem with seaweed snacks. I -like- fishy flavors so it's not that. I can't figure out what I hate about them.

Went to Costco for first time in like 6 weeks.

We got the self service food court kiosks. Ordered my dog and they gave me a loose dog in a brown paper bag. No onions, no deli mustard. Just a sad cup of gross yellow mustard and ketchup that I left behind in disgust.

Dog was fine though. Ate a virgin dog in it's purest form.

Oh yeah I guess I bought some groceries too.

Make sure you pick up the premium Reynolds Wrap foil. It’s width is the exact length of a cooking sheet so you never need to clean them again, you just throw away the foil.

I always wonder - is parchment paper ok for the green bin or nah? Probably varies by location somewhat.

I bought some knockoff silpats from amazon and realized parchment paper is better in almost every possible way. So the faux silpats just sit in a cupboard.

The knockoff silpat (“prettycare” :china: from amazon) works great I just never use it because the parchment does just as good a job and is easier to cleanup!

I have real and fake and really fake silpats and only the on-brand Silpats that I stole from culinary school 20 years ago work well every time. The cheaper ones smell weird or still stick a little. Or melted directly on to a pan, started a fire, and ruined a dinner party.

Also you gotta keep them beasts clean or they get grotesque and unusable with even normal use. Parchment is easier.

I bought some silpats as a treat for my birthday and got knock offs s as a gift. Both are kind of a pain compared to parchment. At some point they get so weird feeling that no amount of scrubbing will get them feeling “clean”. A long trip through a hot oven can fix it, or you could just use parchment.

Don't put greasy paper in the recycling bin. You can probably put it in the organics bin if you've got that. Delivery pizza boxes go in the trash or organics. Frozen pizza boxes, like all plastic or waxed coated paper containers, go in the trash.

It's a good idea to research what is accepted for recycling locally. When you put stuff like plastic bags, plastic wrap, and pizza boxes in the recycling, you're paying somebody to sort it out later. Many locations only recycle #1 and #2 plastics. My county also accepts #5.

I really hate how much plastic wrap Costco uses. None of that stuff is recyclable.

Oh man we made a big trip today.

First, got the Braun 9 electric shaver. I've been a safety razor guy for a while, but I'm having a good time with it. The charging/washing stand is both precious and amazing. It has a little hot air fan in there to dry it off.

We got an indoor palm tree. I'm not sure what his name should be. I'm thinking Emerson Lake.

We also got a string of lights with a solar powered base for our gazebo and it fully owns. They have replaceable bulbs, too, and it's looking great. I may just pop the other in my camping kit.

Blended scotch: substantially better than I thought anything could be for $18/handle. Definitely needs to air because it smells an awful lot like tequila right when you open it.

Getting ready to host a family barbecue this weekend to celebrate being fully vaccinated, so just a mess of snacks and booze.

How's the Kirkland citra hop session IPA? We got a 24 rack, so if nobody knows I'll post a trip report.

Oh yeah any paper soiled with food is going in the green bin with the exception of wax paper etc which goes in the trash. From a google it looks like parchment is totally fine in the compost!

Plastic recycling is such a shitfest and my wife tosses literally anything plastic in the bin and I say no, if it doesn’t have the symbols or the wrong symbols (we accept quite a few here at least) it’s trash instead.

Clamshell packages are the worst but it seems like costco has really improved the amount of unnecessary plastic used, at least.

I didn't think it was terrible but there certainly isn't anything remarkable about it. At least it isn't super strong so you can have a few without getting tipsy. I definitely won't be buying it again though, if I want Kirkland alcohol that isn't liquor I'm getting the hard seltzer.

Call it something other than a Citra and my opinion improves. For what it claims to be it sucks. But I didn’t return it so……

In my house we call that aspirational recycling, like “this should be recyclable, therefore it is.” I always wind up doing a pass over the bins on trash night.

Also, lol at our ‘lawn debris bin’ having like 4 pine cones and a half dozen pizza boxes when we put it out a couple times a year.

Yeah I was so excited the first time I saw it. 48 packs only, labeled LIGHT BEER. It was like 20 bucks. I was euphoric in the light (beer) of Costco.

It is easily one of the worst pisswater beers I've ever had. Whatever your benchmark is, Milwaukee's, Natty, Keystone... it's somehow both more watery and grosser tasting than all of them. I can't remember if I finished them all, but I definitely powered through an unpleasant number of them.

In conclusion I would definitely buy it again if they brought it back, it can only be improved.

I had never had Key Lime anything until my aunt made a key lime cheesecake, and it was awesome. But she called it Key Lime Pie, so for a while afterwards if I ever saw Key Lime Pie on a menu I would order it and be immediately disappointed. The lesson here, I think, is if you want cheesecake it needs to have cheesecake in the name, it took me far too long to learn that but I'm a better consumer of desserts now. Although I don't think I've seen Key Lime Cheesecake since that fateful day, so maybe not too much better.
