Bum the Sad posted:Ours had containers of raw tuna poke regularly two years ago. Spicy and regular. I haven't seen the Korean seaweed salad in like two months here. Is it seasonal or something? Also the CostCo in Kalispel had packages of tritip. Not diced up bullshit tritip but actual, raw, whole multipound tritip. The local midwest CostCo has the lovely prepacked preseasoned tritip that's maybe a lb or two and overseasoned and overpriced. WTF CostCo? Not only the west coast can do tritip! C'MON SON.

skipdogg posted:Yep, we're doing this again. It's transportation bottlenecks now, not manufacturing from what I've heard. Not enough trucks to get the product out. Well gently caress What sucks is that I haven't gone to Costco in like 2-3 months because I haven't needed anything, and I chose today because our TP was getting low. I don't keep very clued into what's hard to get and why but thinking back on my trip, it was kinda odd that I couldn't get certain things that I normally take for granted. And the price of beef is outrageous. I dropped $70 on 4 filet mignon steaks. It's a birthday dinner for my wife so it's okay but she better loving enjoy it because I'm not buying them again for a while.

Soul Dentist posted:Where on earth is out of bourbon? The one by my work just outside of St. Louis. Zero bourbon. It's fuckin weird. Also on the cukes, if you did a fermented pickle, it could be the variety that is making them taste off. I get really good results with a traditional fermentation cycle with Straight 8s but never with the minis.

I buy the Vlasic Simply two pack and it's my jam, but I feel I could do better (read: garlickier). I don't do chips or slices as much. It could very well be the process as I let them go a loooong time, so I'll try again before switching varieties.

Legit, I have just been stuffing entire cloves of garlic in the jar with the Vlasics and shoving them in the back of the fridge. Might not do anything much but I'll have pickley garlic eventually maybe. Have you had the pink pickled turnips from the cold cases? They fuckin slap. Also they have just-ok danmuji.

Also broken down, after being picked over by a couple hungry people, I got almost 2lb of meat off of a god damned rotisserie chicken. Maybe I'll make a tray of enchiladas and freeze it.

Soul Dentist posted:Ooh not a bad idea.

Not trying to get all CSPAM up in here, but the stuff comes from a pretty disgusting source. If you aren't comfortable smashing with a knife use a bench scraper. If you don't have a bench scraper (why not?) just squish it with the meat of your palm. Costco bagged garlic is kind of lovely, really. They brag about the high Brix, aka sugar. That makes it burn fast. Some onion+garlic recipes have you start the garlic in the pan first: not a good idea with the high-sugar Costco garlic. You really want to sweat the onions with some salt and oil before adding Costco garlic.

Then you toss the rest in the instapot, cover with water, add your favorite herbs/spices, even more garlic, and let go for a few hours.

Good point though about the sugar. Also once again the church's supply chain is above reproach, unless they're using Chinese genocide labor in California: https://www.costco.com/christopher-ranch-monviso-peeled-garlic%2C-3-lbs.product.100446625.html (Yes I bet the California workers aren't treated great either, relatively speaking, but no ethical consumption in the Costco thread etc )

That's actually a good idea; I didn't let it cool enough and it was still pretty warm in the carcass. I did make stock from the carcass tho and it's real nice. Def making enchiladas tonight for the freezer. Re: garlic, just buy a shitload of the Gilroy Garlic from Costco, use the two bowl method to mostly peel it, finish with your fingers and stuff the cloves into your pickles. Add some mustard seed and Aleppo pepper too; very nice. I'm also making additional pickled red onions and serranos tonight; I rely pretty heavily on them to make my sad bean bowl lunches less sad. Beans are great but when you eat a bowl of beans almost every day at lunch you gotta add stuff.

The last time this happened, it was only at Costco. You could walk into any other store and by TP. Also, last time is when Costco switched to the smaller rolls/packages of TP and Paper Towels so they wouldn't have these supply issues going forward.

Our store here has plenty of TP which was good because I needed to get more. They also had stroopwafel ice cream sandwiches which I have never seen before. Going to give them a try.

My Costco must be weird. Last week or the week before, no paper towels. Lots of TP. Today, lots of paper towels, no TP. I’m not even in a big pandemic-affected area.

That sounds awesome compared to my last depression meal which was expired Kirkland Black Forest Ham and Kirkland Mexican cheese blend broiled over Keto-friendly bread. Obv all from Costco. The ham didn't even get warm. (In before "when I was a kid we ate literal trash out of a shoe" sorry) Still PBUC because where else would I get it.
