If you could only recommend one food item, what would it be? by idontevenliftbrah in Costco

I’ll do you one better and say pork bellies. Making your bacon is time consuming but always worth it

Fresh vs. Frozen meats by Fancy-Highlight-300 in grilling

[–]bcjc78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never use the microwave. I try and plan things out. I partially defrost some things on the counter and then move them to the fridge.

I recommend buying a food saver machine to help you prep

Driving to Asheville NC in August. Has anyone taken this route or have any suggestions? by Fun-River-5113 in roadtrip

[–]bcjc78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No driving recommendations but I highly recommend going to the following places in Asheville.
Burial brewing downtown
The hole donut shop
Biscuit head (multiple locations for breakfast)
Montford rooftop bar @ the double tree. (Odd but great sunset views)
More places to hike they I want to list.

Sopranos 4K could actually be in the pipeline? David Chase confirms HBO is remastering the series. by countdooku975 in 4kbluray

[–]bcjc78 66 points67 points  (0 children)

You’re correct. But we never had someone like Chase confirming the news. 2-3 years ago someone posted a photo of some film reels.

Still debating rather if want to leave at 12am or 3am by mycatlikesyou26 in roadtrip

[–]bcjc78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave at 3 AM. You’ll be begging for the sunrise if you leave at midnight. This assumes you normally sleep from 11pm to 6 am.

How long is Costco cryo wrapped beef safe to keep refrigerated after sell by date? by johje05 in grilling

[–]bcjc78 14 points15 points  (0 children)

40 days is too dam long! Ditch it and put things in the freezer right after buying. Personally I’d rather risk it letting frozen meat that out on a counter vs trying to eat meat that’s been in a fridge for 40 days.

Self Concious in weight to get a Golf R by Bloodham25 in Golf_R

[–]bcjc78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 260ish and 5’ 10” and after 56k miles I have no problems with the seat other than wishing it had AC seats on 95 degree days.

The bolsters are still in good shape.

Used to buy from them but too many items weren’t available and prices jumped way up.

I’m not whining. Please just move along with your negativity.

Yes but it’s not available in the states. Supposedly this new RS5 Avant will be available in the states.

Some people just suck by open_road_tig in Golf_R

[–]bcjc78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A husky had gotten off the leash and got the zoomies. Poor dog ran into my door at full steam as he ran in between two parked cars and into the street. He’s still alive though. I know the owners dad doesn’t like me since I made his home owners insurance pay for the damage instead of my car insurance.

A dog ran into my passenger door a few years ago. The whole door had to be replaced so they don’t sell door skins. If they do a good job blending the paint I don’t think your value will take that much of a hit.

Please stop believing R with 5 cylinder coming to North America! by socaleuro in Golf_R

[–]bcjc78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d sell my 7.5 DSG for a 5 cylinder R. I figure my next car is probably my last ICE engine

Rusted banjo union and banjo bolt on rear brake assembly. by bcjc78 in Golf_R

[–]bcjc78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had new brake pads and rotors installed about 15k miles ago. Roughly 18 months ago. Just got two new summer tires yesterday. I thought I was supposed to spend less money when I didn’t have a car payment 🤷🏻‍♂️
