I saw what appeared to be 3 ounces of dried sliced porcini mushrooms at Mettawa Costco for just over $9. I was at an ethnic grocery store last night where an ounce of a similar product was over $7.

I picked some up to have on hand for risotto. They look very good. Sourced from Bulgaria. Haven't yet tried; maybe this weekend.

I do this with shitake stems. I used to just throw the stems away, since they're so tough, but there are many uses for the shitake powder.

tcdup wrote:Crab cake report: Exceeded expectations. There was lump crab cake on top and some within the cake itself (which was mostly sort of shredded crab). The ingredient list shows bread crumbs at the bottom. I sauteed them in butter, added a little salt, and I thought they were pretty good for the price. FWIW, I thought they were better than Standard Market or Whole Food, and cheaper, too!

Costco is phasing out the Polish for a Usinger's Brat in their food court. Secret menu item sauerkraut is available for the asking.
I am not going to miss their Polish, because it really wasn't very outstanding. It was more like a garlicky hot dog, then a Polish.

This is awesome news. Not that Vienna's polish was bad, but like you said it was little different than their hot dog, which I always ordered. I didn't know the sauerkraut was secret, as I've always known about it. Someone must have clued me in years ago.

tcdup wrote:Yes, they're frozen. Called Phillips Crab Cakes. They're not by the seafood in my Costco, but more by the ice cream. $22 for 6 3-oz crab cakes.

The bun held its structure under a generous portion. They scooped some nice crispy coleslaw on top as well. Damn tasty lunch for anyone who has been on the fence on trying one of these. I don't know if it's available at all Costco locations...

For whatever it matters, I bought a twin pack of Kirkland fabric softener sheets. I opened the first box on January 10, 2012 and finished it today. It's twin will finally make its appearance now.
I never dreamed this purchase might last me nearly three years.

Hi,
I began plucking from the twin box of fabric softener sheets on June 29, 2013. I pulled the last one a few minutes ago on January 6, 2015.
Nearly three years since I purchased it on January 10, 2012.
