If you wipe dowm the ham regularly with salt water shouldnt it last almost indefinitely??

:unsmith: Honey, would you please go wipe down the ham?

:catstare: Goddamnit Harold it's your turn to wipe down the ham, I just did it 6 hours ago. And don't you dare forget to set your alarm for the 3am wipe down. And make more brine while you're at it.

:smith: Yes, honey

Oh you know I got a gram of that fine Kirkland Saffron.


I hope you're aware of how many monkeys in shock collars it takes to process enough saffron threads for each of those jars.

Enjoy your yellow rice.

I cut up big blocks of cheese into manageable pieces, vacuum seal and put them in the freezer.

This is great advice, I just bought a vacuum sealer at Costco

Like a month ago, I bought a sliced cheddar/colby jack pack and discovered it was reduced fat and it got moldy in a week so I had to throw it out, which was great.

The giant block of parmesan is still going strong, though. It is a drier cheese.

Vacuum sealer and a chest freezer if you don't already own one are the two most practical purchases you can make as a new Costco member.

Working on the second one, friend

I made a long delayed pilgrimage a couple days ago and out of curiosity I grabbed one of the house pre-seasoned tri tips. Gave it an 8 hour bath in my sous vide and seared best I could in my cast iron (I'm buying a torch for next time, it's too odd of a shape to easily and quickly sear, at least for me.). It turned out heavenly. Buttery soft inside, with the fats rendering into the meat. The seasoning was just OK. For all the color, it was pretty mild. Next time I'll just do my own seasoning.



that looks amazing and I may have to try it this weekend

Oh, hey, Ruta Maya.

13ish years ago I worked in a restaurant next door to a Ruta Maya coffee shop. I'd see weird coffee soot floating in the sky in the morning when they were roasting which was kinda surreal. I went there for the happy hour IPAs instead of coffee so I can't comment, but thanks for jogging my memory. :unsmith:

Yeah I recently learned that Texas doesn't allow publicly traded companies to sell liquor but even if THAT somehow got overturned, Costco still couldn't sell liquor in Texas. Texas law also states that if your store is opened before 10AM, closes after 9PM, or does ANY business on Sundays (even employees working, not open to customers) you can't sell liquor.

So yes, Texas loving hates freedom

:ssh: In the Republican stronghold of Texas, despite claiming to be the party of less regulation, the reason the laws are so draconian, especially when it comes to liquor laws and enforcement by TABC, is it's a loving racket.

If you ever have to wonder why the government in Texas does anything, from privatizing the electric grid or gerrymandering the hell out of the state, just remember, it's a racket.

I do not understand the concept of wagyu jerky. I want jerky that I nearly tear teeth out with, not soft gummy stuff.

This is all store bought jerky these days and I feel your pain. They must do something to tenderize jerky during processing for mass consumption, but I long for the dry brittle stuff that would make your jaws sore.

Sure, I could find a dozen varieties along any major Texas highway, but now I live in Minnesota.

I'm tempted to grind the whole thing down with a Dremel and start it from scratch.

Please save yourself lots of trouble and use a drill attachment. These are really good for stripping cast iron down to the metal. Don't know if they sell em at 'stCo. They're silver underneath, who knew?

You guys should probably post a picture more often when talking about stuff since my CostCo also only carries the mediocre kimchi. I was almost going to try it based on all the praise!

I apologize

If someone knows how to make this image my signature I'll do it so everyone in the CostCo thread knows which kimchi is the best (Jongga (the one with two "g"s))

there are two sounds in korean that correspond to a western g and neither actually sound like g. theres ㄱ, which corresponds to half-aspirated g, so like mix g and k together, and ㄲ, whoch really doesnt correspond to an english sound

jonga is the jonga with a ㄱ

This is a pretty cool fact about the maker of my favorite kimchi, Jongga (the one with two "g"s)
