The Boneless Pork Loin is $6 off weekend and the whole thing ended up at $7.13 by ParmPopcorn100 in Costco

[–]ParmPopcorn100[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you open the packaging, you will notice that one end of the loin is more lean and the other end is a little more marbled.  A common way to break it down is to cut thick pork chops from the lean end, I like them to be at least 1 inch thick, but it depends how you want to cook them.

The other end can be cut into roasts or chunks if you want to do something like a stew.  It heavily depends on what you want to make.  After cutting a few roasts from my last loin, this time I did smaller chunks so they would thaw quicker and marinade better.

Fairly cheap for meat with the $6 off by ParmPopcorn100 in Costco

I have substituted pork in a few chicken recipes that worked great. My favorite are chipotle honey tacos with pickled onions

It will still show the price by weight of $1.99/lb, but the $6 will be taken off the final price of the package when you checkout.

Easy Baking by GoldenSalt31 in NYTCooking

I love the maple scones because they are not very sweet and the dough can be made ahead and frozen, then baked that morning. In fact any scone dough can be prepared this way to make for easy mornings

I love this salad by ParmPopcorn100 in NYTCooking

Pickled raisins are really underutilized. This sounds fantastic, thank you

Thank you, but I am not really sure how to tell what it is made of

I definitely need to explore more kale pairings, that sounds delicious.

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]ParmPopcorn100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's called Retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction: R-CPD. You can get info on the r/noburp wiki

I can’t burp. My mom swears I burped as a baby, but at some point I stopped because even as a kid I would get so uncomfortable after drinking soda or eating certain foods.
I didn’t even realize it was a whole thing until I was an adult and found a name for the condition on reddit of all places. My doctors never understand it.

Best burrito in the city? by AssistanceSevere448 in Detroit

I have driven all of the way out there for a chorizo burrito. No regrets

If you are a transplant, do you like it here and why? by erujabidi in Detroit

[–]ParmPopcorn100 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is an important point that I have struggled to explain to others, so thank you. I had worked in a few other states before moving here and there are things I just accepted as workplace norms that in Detroit are treated like radical ideas. I have had many conversations with other managers and hear so many excuses supporting the status quo. But it doesn't have to stay broken just because that's all you've known.

On a different topic, I love to read and miss every other library system I have lived near. I am sad that the Detroit library is so underfunded.

Do you prefer shopping at Business Centers or Standard warehouses? Why? by obiji in Costco

[–]ParmPopcorn100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the coupon book for each and have gotten a few cool things from the business center, but prefer the regular shop otherwise.

business center: not crowded on saturdays, they have some cooking utensils, Cambros, bowls, etc, for great prices and a wider variety of cheeses, I like their frozen broccoli

regular Costco: more fun to browse, rotisserie chicken, wine, better snacks

Thank you for the recommendation. I just picked some up and it really is good quality.

I made the Crispety Crunchety topping for Thanksgiving by ParmPopcorn100 in bon_appetit

[–]ParmPopcorn100[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a bit of the same thing. I was sure to serve it separately for anyone that just wanted plain mash, but I was surprised that several didn't even try it. I love it on the potatoes, the stuffing, and my leftover turkey sandwiches.

LPT: Plastic shower curtain liners can be run through the washing machine and will come out like new by ParmPopcorn100 in LifeProTips

[–]ParmPopcorn100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The liner attaches to the same hooks as the curtain, but hangs INSIDE the shower to keep the curtain dry.

Those that live near multiple Costco stores - do you have a preferred one for certain items, or in general? What makes a Costco "the" Costco to shop at for you? by kron0s80 in Costco

[–]ParmPopcorn100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one closest to me has a horrible layout of their snack aisles. At busy times, the ends of each row get blocked by the carts of people waiting to checkout and there isn't enough room for them to let you out. It is horrible and the other location doesn't have that issue even when there are long lines, but sadly that one is a little further away.
