Costco finds

You say that like it’s a bad thing. Adequately cooked and largely unseasoned means it’s incredibly versatile, and you’ve saved yourself the long process of slow-roasting/braising.

I can say for a fact that the three applications above work flawlessly for your quick weeknight dinner.

90 minutes in the Instant Pot, always perfect. One of the few things it’s good for, but worth the.price by itself.

I’ve had that thought but since we’re retired time doesn’t usually matter. But good to know.


They sell these at Costco now.

Have you tried it yet? I’ve been interested.

The fermented black beans were a surprise but I appreciate the level of spice, though.

Reddit seems to hate the cold packed ramen but I found it better than expected. Pleasant tonkotsu aftertaste. Lots of toppings.

Certainly not ramenya level but better than the shelf stable stuff.

I don’t think they have this exact one anymore but I found the old/new variants to be pretty equal in taste.

Hmmm. I’m a fan of the refrigerated (sometimes frozen) Sun Noodle ramen packs (Tonkotsu, Miso, and Shoyu), but I’ve never encountered them in Costco. I’ll have to keep a lookout.

Interesting… this is a Korean brand and I hadn’t tried it… will give it a shot as I am in California Mart more than I am at Tokyo Central…

I like the Sun Noodle kits but I find their bases to be meh. The only one I really liked recently was for their special edition Jiro Ramen.

Other than that, in 2020, Seiwa had kits made buy the top noodle guys around town and Japan. I got the one from Tsjuita and Killer Noodle that included their epic pork fat/garlic topping. I used that for four additional bowls after the kit…

Fwiw I found the Costco product better than the Sun Noodle kit

This was right next to the manly-man bodybuilder protein powders and so on and it took me a bit to realize that it was infant formula.

Which is having serious supply chain delays. HUGE.

There was plenty at that Costco.

I tried cutting an Authentic Motor City Pizza down the middle and baking only half of it. Worked OK except it was really messy since the toppings are so loose and the frozen crust is brittle so it shattered. A serrated knife might work better.

If you like pork loins.

Sepulveda in Van Nuys.

I don’t think I’ve seen 2.29/lb for any protein in recent memory.

$1.67 after the $4 / package rebate.

I can’t find any news stories that would explain that.

Not to mention I have not seen pork loins at any supermarket recently, only tenderloins.

Also at MDR location yesterday. Same pricing and the $4 off. It was an amazing deal. Wish I had the freezer room to have grabbed more.
