Nice soup recipe

I joined Costco, and their rotisserie chicken costs $4, I believe.  I always thought that $8 at other stores was a good deal.

We have never before had a Costco, but now one is coming.  Yay!

We have one coming as well, and I'm looking forward to buying the 400-ounce jars of cheese balls and the 55-gallon drums of orange juice. Also, if you like muffins--what's better than buying them in lots of eight dozen?

I can only imagine what those stores were like during the recent hoarding frenzy. Housewives driving forklifts into the stores to pick up pallets of toilet paper. Fifty-pound cans of tomato sauce stacked twenty-high on a shopping cart buckling under the weight. It must have looked like the opening scene of a bad zombie movie.

Kevin must have quite a spacious pantry.

Here is a funny, but true, story:  Long time friends of my parents (RIP) since I was a kid, I learned that the husband died.  She was age 90+ and no family in town.  When you are that old you have few mobile/ambulatory friends left to socialize with.  So I started hooking up with her, taking her to lunch, etc.  One day the topic of grocery shopping came up, how often she shopped (rarely, very frugal), what she would need when she shopped, etc.  During the conversation she said "Toilet paper lasts me a long time.  I only use 2 squares at a time."  Then she asked me if that was about the amount of my usage.  Shocked and amazed, I couldn't come up with an answer other than "yeah, about that."  A bit of a white lie, for sure.  I've thought of her during the recent news stories about runs on TP.  LOL. 

Kevin is apparently making a judgement without ever visiting Costco.  I'm shocked.

You speculate some pretty stupid shit about me pretty much all the time, but this is idiotic, even for you.

1. There is not a Costco in the city where I reside.

2. I have lived in other cities. Some of them have had Costcos.

3. Then or now, I have never been forbidden from traveling to another city, where a Costco can be found.

4. Therefore, what is apparent to Boilerman is actually sadly delusional. I have been to a Costco maybe fifty times in my life.

Fifty times? Did you get your forklift share of toilet paper and 55 gallon drums of orange juice?

The problem I have with COstco is :  I'll just go in there to buy toothpaste and end up leaving with $150 worth of stuff.  I have a hard time walking past the wine section without grabbing a few bottles.   They have some good Italian Reds.    And then there's the  bucket of Sea-Salt-dark-chocolate-caramels.    Hard to not put that in the cart.

But if you're having a party or entertaining a big group Costco is the best.    Party sized trays of shrimp cocktail, chacuterie, and the oven ready trays of mac-n-cheese, lasagna, meat balls.    Cant beat it.

Best thing though - is the snack bar.   2 big pieces of pizza and a soft drink for $5.    

Somehow, even a store manages to piss off Kevin.
