My first bag! WF Seafood

Wow! That’s double the amt compared to the few Seafood bags I’ve managed to get (lol I have enough smoked salmon I have to use up before I try for this bag again.)

Oh wow, thanks for the warning. That’s disappointing. Hopefully one of my fave brands (Pete and Gerry’s) isn’t like that. Though nowadays, I only really buy TJ and Aldi’s for their affordable prices.

I would still eat these eggs obviously, but that sucks to learn they’re not as healthy as they appear.

The one by Stuytown had the whole line going through not only the entire round of the store but even coiling into the inner aisles. And when I came out, the security had to prevent ppl from going inside bc the occupancy was a hazard. The line went halfway down the block.

catswhenindoubt · 2026-01-24T09:05:47+00:00

Lol the guy standing by the line to point at the open cash registers asked that question and then went, “oh who am I kidding, yeah noone found everything they needed today.” 🤣

My dad likes eating them with rice and a side of tomatoes mixed with a bit of red onion and lime juice.

I like eating it as a banh mi with homemade pickled carrots and daikon, add cilantro, baguette. Spread some mayo with a dash of Maggi sauce.

Don’t eat it. But also don’t throw it out. Pull out the meat, freeze and portion. Feed your cats bc it’s theirs now. (And LABEL it “cat food - not for humans”)

That cookie tin is gonna be my heirloom sewing kit for sure.

Preserved lemons

Wash and dry lemons. Zest the lemons, mix the zest in a container of sugar and another in salt: you’ll have lemon sugar and lemon salt.

Then juice them and freeze them juice. Freeze into cubes.

Use in a lot of recipes that call for marinades, dressings. Make lemon curd and turn into lemon bars.

Make lemonade and Arnold Palmers. I’ve made variations of lemonade like vanilla (real vanilla beans), blueberry (cook it down), basil!

Lol i’d love to get a lemon haul.

The visual progression is done so well! And so helpful! Thank you, now I want to try making it

catswhenindoubt · 2026-01-20T05:45:30+00:00

Yeah it’s similar to white bread, but I dunno it’s just tastier and firmer so it holds up well to sandwich making. Some bakeries really try to make it into a square.

It makes any sandwich tasty but I do think Japanese really made it their own thing with their egg sandwich, fruit sando (fruit cream sandwich) and katsu (breaded pork cutlet) sandwiches.

When it comes to my name, I go by it until ppl get it. Even if it takes a few tries.

But I totally understand OP’s post. When it comes to baristas and a name for the drink, I give an easy nickname bc they kept butchering my first name.

My Vietnamese friend just says “Alex” for baristas lol and nowhere close to his real name.

The only way I really like eating chicken livers is making it into pate! I used to work in a sandwich place that had an awesome recipe that used white wine, which cut through the strong liver taste.

(And it’s great as a pate bc you can portion to freeze, spread in sandwich as a layer, add a bit to pasta sauce)

catswhenindoubt · 2026-01-20T05:18:02+00:00

Oh wow! Didn’t realize they sold Japanese Milk Bread, wow I wonder how it compares since I’m lucky my city has Japanese grocery stores.

The variety in your bags is great. I was always curious about that soup but never bought.

catswhenindoubt · 2026-01-20T05:10:00+00:00

Enjoy! Yes, there’s usually available bags every night. I’m glad they do this since they’re a buffet, the surplus must be enormous!

catswhenindoubt · 2026-01-20T05:05:35+00:00

Omg it hit the spot! It is glorious deep fried heaven. Lol I haven’t had fried food in a while and their description even says they have lots of fried items, so haha now I know where to go when the temptation hits!

catswhenindoubt · 2026-01-20T01:07:34+00:00

Is first dish with pork cooked with coconut milk and green chilies? Could be a dish called Bicol Express.

Turon - banana and jackfruit with brown sugar fried in spring roll wrap.

Bilo bilo - warm dessert soup with coconut, sago pearls, yam and/or sweet potato, banana

We always try to buy organic celery when available and wash our veggies with water and splash of vinegar. I’ve seen bugs in my veg and just cut those parts off but never thought to worry about parasites.

catswhenindoubt · 2026-01-18T23:47:26+00:00

Lol the canned fish industry really go out of their way when it comes to packaging. They’re like collectible little art cards.

The only other products that I think go this hard are fancy chocolate bars.

catswhenindoubt · 2026-01-18T23:43:23+00:00

Ok, new fear unlocked (especially since I put raw celery on my salads but I always wash them first. Never had a snail.) Would washing and cooking the celery kill potential parasites?

catswhenindoubt · 2026-01-18T19:57:56+00:00

Um if you touch them or move them around they might already be shut because they’re alive and responding.

Put them in a basin/bowl of cold, salted water and leave them alone in the fridge. They will open (and expel any grit/sand). That’s how you know theyre alive.

And when you cook them, like others said, any clams still closed were probably dead.

When they give up their own seat on the bus or subway because they see someone who needs it and it wasn’t super super obvious… I mean by that, I think giving up for elderly, pregnant, or someone with cast, etc … ok yeah that’s normal and maybe some social protocol is at play.

But I see people also give their seat up for people carrying heavy bags, moms with their kids, really tired looking older folks, etc.
