I happened to click on this "essay" written by somebody who leads a sad life.
The article is about washing meat. But she is so paranoid about it that she doesn't eat food from a pot-luck.
(I just went to a pot-luck yesterday)
Personally, I rinse off my meat before cooking but it's just to get rid of excess blood.
Yes, I do eat dinaguan or loko.... Not paranoid about eating blood.
Must be a slow news day.

Based on that mindset, she shouldn't eat at restaurants, dinner party;s or anywhere else she has not personally prepared or watched the meal prep !

Def don't eat at Korean or Chinese restaurants.  Or at least don't look in the prep area.   

People like that probably think chicken magically appears in sealed packages in the grocery stores.

Remember the good laugh we got out of our first Chinese take out in Honolulu decades ago.

Admittedly we were used to mainland style Chinese up to then.

Then, we discovered "machete chicken" where the bird was apparently whacked into pieces, bones and all.

Then, there was the mild poisoning (swollen tongue) I got from a sushi place.............

But did you die?   

I've seen "mama" chopping raw chicken on a wooden cutting board on the concrete "back patio" area.

I buy the Costco "Space Chickens" (the whole roasted chickens that come in a capsule) quite regularly and really like them.

I guess they finally realized that throwing the unsold, roasted birds away at night was wasting money.  So, they started offering the meat from the rotisserie chickens de-boned and vacuum-packed.

I tried that pulled chicken once, and it made me sick.  All the signs of mild-to-moderate food poisoning.

Haven't bought that recycled chicken since.

That sucks.  Sorry you got sick.  I occasionally eat the Sam's rotisserie chicken, but never the "repackaged/repurposed".  Growing up, I used to have chick/steak/etc salad sandwiches with leftovers.  Same with fried rice.

I know many folks who refuse to eat fried rice or stuff like cake noodles since they know/heard many places "repurpose/recycle" ingredients for those dishes.

I kept my Sam's membership longer than I should have just because their rotisserie chicken tasted better than Costco's.  Then it became impossible to get them.  Either sold out every time I went -- sometimes making a trip mainly for that one thing -- or what was available was overcooked.

I finally canceled my membership there and only kept my Costco membership.  Lots of reasons I like Costco better, but I do miss the Sam's roasted chicken now and then.

I have Sam's primarily because convenience of location.  I pick up a chicken here and there.  I notice timing makes a difference.  I've seen folks line up when the next batch is still in the oven.  I refuse to wait. 

If I lived say in Hawaii Kai, I would def get Costco.  That location is way better than Iwilei.

True.  Costco in Waipio is much closer to me in Mililani than the nearest Sam's at Pearl Highlands in Pearl City.  That was a factor for me after the Costco there opened.  Before that, I went to the Costco near Pearl Harbor where Target is now.

I remember the lines at Sam's.  I did wait in line once, but when I got the chicken, it was overdone, almost burnt.  I left it there. 

I also remember they started shuttling some of the fresh ones to a rack nearer the entrance, I guess it was for convenience since the kitchen was way in the back.  Once or twice I picked up one from the back, then walked by the other rack and noticed the chickens looked way better.  I'd swap the one/s I had with the better ones.  I hope the employees and managers noticed the birds they threw out from that rack were worse than the ones they put out there.

I find that Costco normally has the best quality fresh produce and cold/frozen foods.  Sam's had better deals sometimes on big purchase items, like vacuums and computers.  It was such a toss-up price-wise, I couldn't justify continuing to pay for two memberships.  The rebates at Costco seemed larger if you used their Amex/VISA, if it's the same now as when I dropped Sam's.

What a silly and foolish thing to do in my opinion.  Why is she even breathing the air that all of us are doing.  Go live in a bubble why don't you.

i don't know why, but i thought of this awesome thread from way back:

I go to the Hawaii Kai Costco somewhat often when I visit my buddy who lives in Hawaii Kai.  It's quite impressive and seems like the produce, meats, etc are all excellent.  I refuse to go to the Iwilei Costco.  One good thin about Sams is they have free shipping on a bunch of stuff.  That was clutch in COVID shutdowns.  Less to worry about during that craziness.

"Describe a woman"........

This alone should have kept her/him/it out of SCOTUS.  Maybe she/he/it is one of those people.

The Emperor's New Clothes is/was a parable about how stupid people act when politics overrides logic, reasoning and truth.  Now the government not only condones redefining centuries old facts, but they encourage it.  And anyone not willing to play the game is dubbed a hater, something-a-phobic and removed from society, their jobs or public office.

Jackson was just a microcosm of how illogical and ridiculous it is to let Liberal Arts majors decide things better left to science.
