    Costco

    @Toliver The Costcos in my area stopped carrying the 14-packs. I double-checked with my favorite cashier at that Costco and he verified that they were gone. I shop at 5 different Costcos, but I've only checked at the 2 closest to my home. I didn't see them in the Costco Business Center I go to either. Color me a bit jealous. I don't buy them for home use but for part of a couple of ren faire related BBQs. ETA I need to check the Fullerton Costco the next time I'm there since it's a different management region.

  3. Not in the Amazon Kindle app.
  4. App on my Samsung tablet Galaxy Tab S2. ETA yes I can see the file.
  5. How foolish I feel now; a PM caused me to realize that I didn't provide information. I use the Amazon Kindle app on my Samsung Tablet. I did download a separate Kindle reader for now. What I can't figure out is how to (if it can be done) get the Amazon reader to find non-Amazon-purchased kindle books. @TdeV Thank you for your help.
  6. Okay, I feel stupid. I've downloaded a kindle version of a book but I don't how to get my kindle reader (Amazon) to recognize it.
  7. Bought it.
  8. I have friends who, good-naturedly, like to say "Who is Alfredo?" if I mention Fettuccine Alfredo.
  9. I can't remember the last time I bought a dead tree book. I'm so happy with my Samsung tablet as a Kindle reader I may never buy another DT book.
  10. Just passing this list from Bon Appetit on. All the Best Amazon Prime Day Deals for Your Kitchen
  11. I bought A Pig in Provence last week. I've added it ro my list of general things to read. I'm still working on Always, Julia.
  12. RE Whisky Smash I've been playing a game since I found this year's Manitoulin Thread. A while ago I bought an on-sale Kindle bar recipes book and I've tried looking up the recipe for each cocktail you post about. So far I've only found the Amaretto Sour. I'll have to buy a better book. I do look up recipes on-line occasionally. I still need to go to a proper bar to try the Brothers Perryman.
  13. I did a major happy dance when I saw this thread earlier today. I've not been on the internet much lately since I've been doing planning, buying, and packing for our first real vacation in 4 years. We rent a housekeeping cabin next to a fishing lake in the eastern Sierras and prefer, besides our food and beverage, to bring our own pots and pans. knives, kitchen gadgets, and such. It takes a lot of planning. I am now caught up and ready to enjoy another Manitoulin Summer trip. 😃😃😃😃
  14. When SnowAngel would write about The Cabin chuck eyes were one of her favorite choices.
  15. Just got caught up on this thread. What a beautiful space. Enjoy.
  16. Today is our 41st anniversary. I'm hard to buy gifts for. My DW surprised me with a Wusthof Nakiri knife. I am pleased. I removed my Santoku from my knife block to make room for it. No veggie prep for me for the next couple of days, but it will get a tryout soon. ETA this also may be a very rare case of me NOT putting a new edge on a new knife.
  17. I stole this for Facebook.
  18. I have 2 of the Denmark 12 qt stockpots for my ren faire kitchens. I also have 2 of the Denmark 12 qt pasta pots. They get heavy use over 30 kBTU burners.
  19. bon appetit article on Samin Nosrat. Everyone Loves Samin To me it seems more appropriate to post it here instead of food media and arts.
  20. Redneck Turtle Burgers
  21. The Rogue Mocha Porter would tempt me, and 805 is a fall-back choice. Nothing else looked interesting to me. What is your darling's preferred single malt?
  22. Bought the Irish Pub Cookbook.
  23. Crock pot on low, point cut CB, a can of Guinness and 8 hours make for a fine CB.
