What's that you're eating?

Big ole pot of homemade New England clam chowda tonight!





I do it with extra meat. More pork’n clams than you’d usually get. Nom nom.

*pork = bacon, but the double entendre doesn’t work as well with “bacon” as it does with “pork”.

It's that time of year again...

It's that time of year again...

I went to a little workshop last weekend. Unfortunately, the sap was only just starting to run so the cooking portion of the day was using water for the example.

Lastly, nothing I bought or eaten here but here are some interesting things that I saw in the new Costco that just opened in my home town that I don't recall seeing anywhere else . . .

1# cooked octopus tentacles:

Wagu Beef Ribeye for $60/#:

A great deal on Duck at just $3.19#:

"Estate grade" Caviar for $30.76/oz or $54 a serving:

A bottle of Blanton's Gold (left) for $117 & a bottle of Weller Millennium (third from right) for $5500.

I've seen the Gold & Millennium priced on the Net at $325 & $7500, respectively, retail.

The Blanton's sold immediately after I took this photo. Didn't buy it because I still have a bottle of Blanton's that I've never opened.

The Millennium is probably still there. If you want it, Zelle me $6k (which should cover cost plus the tax & shipping) & I'll buy it for you. LOL!

Costco rocks pretty hard! Most of the stuff they carry is good quality, even their in-house “Kirkland” branded stuff. Many times that stuff is made by a top-quality, well-known major brand, but at a fraction of the regular cost.

Pro tip about Costco shopping in general: If you see something you might want to try, BUY IT NOW!!! You can always return it if you change your mind, but their deals are notorious for not being there the next time you go. The mantra is “Now or never.”

Quinoa, chicken thigh stir fry & Sourdough I garlic’ed up and broiled. A fully organic meal that didnt hurt the bank too much. The $8 a loaf sourdough stung at first but now I really value it.

Also, bought this the other day for home made fries. As much as I love an excuse to use my knives time is of the essence lately and this thing saves LOTS. Paid $17 at Walmart, highly recommend

Another tip about Costco; if the price tag on the shelf display has an asterisk on it, that product is limited stock. Once they run out, they won't be getting more.

Final day in Texas, having lunch at Michelin-starred LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue before going to the airport. Of course I had to get brisket, along with beef cheeks, a smoked burger, caesar kale slaw, frito pie, beef fat chips, and hog fat cornbread with cherry mole.
