Costco Shopping – March 23, 2017

I was excited to see SPAM on sale.

I don’t know why people make fun of SPAM lovers. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t like SPAM. But you don’t have to mock us. None of my female friends, past and present, liked SPAM. But it was more than that. When I told them I liked SPAM, they all made puke-faces and said “Yuck”. But I’m not the one with the eating disorder. SPAM, to me, is a must-have item at my house. I crave SPAM now and then, and I must have some. This 8 pack will last a few years. Girls may come and go, but I will have SPAM. Who needs girls, anyway?

Coupons saved $24.50 today.

Chef’s Cut Beef Jerky was superb. I finished the entire bag in two days. I may buy one more. This was one of the best jerkies I have ever tasted.

I always buy Jarlsberg cheese from Costco whenever there is a coupon. This is an amazing buy.

Toilet papers, glad food containers, shampoo, and conditioners were all on sale. It was a fun and relaxing Costco shopping.

Happy new year

It was my first Costco shopping of 2017. I didn’t buy anything special. Coupons saved $29.40. Protein bars are for work. Apples and green blends are for juicing. I freeze naan bread, which will last about six months. I am not sure if Focus Factor works. But I am afraid to get off it.

Toilet papers at the bottom of the cart.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

This year is going by so fast. I wish we don’t get old so we can have fun forever.

Below is my cubicle at work. This is a repeat of what I did last year. I just added some more stuff. Many people stopped by to talk to me and took pictures. It’s been a fun season so far.

Good times. Merry Christmas.  🙂

Visiting Long Island, NY – And Costco

I visited Long Island, New York. Went to Costco, too, of course. Below is my show and tell.

Day 1 (Thursday)

I had almost no sleep. I woke up at 1 AM, took a shower, and drove to LAX by 4:00 AM. I flew to Baltimore first to change the plane. Baltimore was absolutely beautiful looking down from the sky. Baltimore airport was beautiful and inviting. I arrived at Long Island past 5 PM.

Day 2 (Friday)

We woke up at 3 am (12 AM in California time). At 6 AM we took a ferry ride to Connecticut. We went to Stamford to watch Maury Show!! Some of you know how much I enjoy Maury Show. It was a crazy good time. 

After Maury Show, we drove to Long Island (no ferry. We drove around) – I didn’t visit New York City. I was not interested in visiting a big city. Also, I was very tired.

Day 3 (Saturday)

We started the morning at Dunkin Donuts – then checked out garage sales. The air was cold. I saw ice on lawns. I found some silver jewelry and some vintage Maxwell House coffee mugs.

Then we went to Costco. The first thing I’ve noticed was the recycle kiosks by the front entrance (picture below). I didn’t buy anything at Costco. I just walked around and enjoyed looking at Christmas items on display.

We went to a fish and chips place for dinner.

Day 4 (Saturday)

I ate a bagel for breakfast and a slice of New York pizza for lunch.  4 days flew by fast. I had so much fun. I got dropped off at Long Island airport to start my journey back home.

End

It was an amazing experience. Now I am waiting to see myself on Maury Show. You ARE the father~!! Hahaha.

Thanksgiving Turkey 2016

This was the 7th straight year I baked Thanksgiving turkey alone. Just like last year, a friend dropped by for a short time. But I was home alone for the most part. I live a stress-free life. I was invited to a couple of places. But I didn’t want to drive 2 hours to see my family. And I didn’t want to go where I could not truly relax. Many people talk about holidays and stress. I have absolutely no stress.

First, I baked the turkey upside down for an hour. Then I flipped the turkey and put it back in the oven. I like this technique. I think it was the best turkey I have ever made. I can’t wait for next Thanksgiving.

Red Lobster biscuits (from Costco) were very good. Turkey, stuffing, organic cranberry sauce, and turkey baking racks were also from Costco.
