Chemo-kitties can have “accidents” too!

I feel like $200 is the standard Costco trip.

My disappointment is that they didn't have King Arthur flour. Not blessed.

They're undergoing a recall right now:

Awkward.

And we're discussing the recall and e coli outbreak in my food safety class tonight!

Whenever I sit down on the couch and put the sherpa blanket on my lap, my cat gets wide-eyed and bolts over. She's sitting in my lap, purring and making biscuits.

Also I get the huge bag of fresh broccoli, just put some in a tupperware with salt and pepper and microwave it at work. I put the lid on, walk back to my desk, and then it's steamed/crunchy. I get baked tofu at Trader Joe's to go along with it and there's a healthy easy meal with a bunch of sambal on top.

Went today and got a ton of christmas gifts for the kids, loaded up on the pretty large "squishimals" which are very popular around my house. AND got a pack of squishamal xmas ornaments for the wife. I thought they were the inferior squeezamals but apparently I got the right ones so yay!

Do you mean the Squishmallows? Those are the ones at my Costco.

They have the weirdest back stories:

"Karina the Pink and Grey Calico Cat. Karina is a numbers girl. Her favorite subjects have always been math and science. She plans on using her data expertise as a future computer scientist!"


"Zoe the Pink Unicorn.

Zoe lives and breathes food. It makes perfect sense since her family owns multiple restaurant businesses in the area. She aspires to become a restaurant owner one day with her cousins, Astrid and Ace."

I think these are them. They are $70 in store, and they have three sizes/weigh limits.

I was looking at the Yukon Charlie ones at Costco years ago but saw some mediocre reviews. I ended up buying a pair of Atlas snowshoes at REI for half price at the end of the season instead.

Currently making the mistake of going to church at 2:30pm on a Saturday. Pray for us.

Edit: we're at least blessed to be at the first Costco location in Seattle. Parking here is atrocious though.

Edit 2: don't go to the Seattle Sodo Costco at 2:30pm on a Saturday.

Did acquire salted egg cookies and an ugly Christmas sweater among other things. They had both the $99 and a $550 jamón ibérico, acorn fed.

I also spotted Kirkland Peppermint Bark. Looks good. Did not buy though.

Oh yeah, I bought that today for a presentation at work next week. I'm hoping it hasn't changed from previous years, it's always been awesome.

An 8oz coffee at Starbucks has like 180, and those are notoriously high in caffeine. Regular home cup is around 100mg, and espresso about 65mg.

So that's a lot. Two of them would have me shaking and I think one would be surprising for the size. I normally have two double shots of espresso so 260mg over an hour.

The 100mg for a home cup is for a 6 oz cup and has no definition of ratio of coffee grounds to water (thanks USDA for making my job harder). 8 oz Pike Place roast at Starbucks is brewed to the SCA ratio and is 155 mg caffeine. These are 11oz so it's not really a wildly different ratio of caffeine to volume of brewed coffee, from an at-home cup.

Also cold brew having more caffeine than other methods is largely a myth. People just drink it faster and in larger servings than hot coffee.
