• We're going to need to buy some thyme

    From Bryan Simmons@bryangsimmons@gmail.com to rec.food.cooking on Fri Apr 3 20:24:39 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.food.cooking

    I'll be using the rest of what we have on the two ribeye roasts I'm
    making for Easter lunch. I'm also going to buy a couple of Costco
    chickens. I'm making mashed potatoes and will use some of the juices
    from the chickens for the gravy, along with Minor's chicken base. I've
    got 2.5 pounds of fresh spinach for the cheesy spinach. On Easter
    morning, I'll harvest some baby arugula from the garden, and a little
    bit of the fresh spinach that folks can add to the L&T salad if they
    wish. I'll buy Italian bread Saturday morning.

    I'll also be making frozen corn, specifically the Target brand, Good and Gather gold and white, which I've found to be sweeter than any other
    brand. I'll be mixing in chopped and sauteed jalapenos. My son
    specifically requested that. I think he wants me to make that for every holiday meal.

    The desserts will be chocolate mousse cake and a lemon blueberry cake.
    There will be no alcohol, as no one but me, the only adult there who
    wasn't raised Catholic, is the only one who drinks. That's just weird.
    We're expecting 15 adults and 2 small children. It might even be silly
    to buy more than one Costco chicken, but they're only 5 bucks, and
    they're good left over.

    You can't make anything decent from a $5 chicken. Spending time and
    effort preparing that chicken is like polishing a turd.

    Costco chickens are great, and Costco is not a "supermarket." They sell hundreds of them every day.

    ****
    AI Overview

    Costco sells over 431,000 rotisserie chickens every day worldwide based
    on 2025 data. With around 914 warehouses, this averages to roughly
    470–650 chickens per store, per day. The retailer sold 157.4 million of
    the popular $4.99 chickens in fiscal year 2025.

    I have never cooked a ham. The closest I have come to that is a very occasional ham steak. My grandfather used to make ham for Easter dinner
    and my mother used to do ham once in a while. If I am served ham I will
    eat it and enjoy it. If I am at a buffet and there is ham I will have
    some. There is nothing at all wrong with ham.

    Costco rotisserie chicken is a gift from heaven. It's a wonderful chicken roasted
    to perfection. I can get roast chicken from the supermarkets in our little town
    but it's going to cost twice as much for a smaller, less juicy, chicken that's been sitting under heat lamps for hours. OTOH, a big, hefty, chicken is too much
    for my wife and I to handle. We'll eat the dark meat and make soup with the remains. It's just too much for old people.
    My step-mom has to have ham for the holidays. It's just something that the Swedes

    there between 10 and 11am. I would be more likely to get one if it were
    late afternoon and I could get it home hot. I love cold chicken but I am

    would have to cook it.

    I have never cooked a ham. The closest I have come to that is a very occasional ham steak. My grandfather used to make ham for Easter dinner
    and my mother used to do ham once in a while. If I am served ham I will
    eat it and enjoy it. If I am at a buffet and there is ham I will have
    some. There is nothing at all wrong with ham.


    They're easy peasy to cook. Use whatever you'd like such as cloves, brown sugar, and apple juice. Some like theirs with a honey glaze and some like
    the addition of pineapple. Pretty sure you can find more variations online.

    I don't consider Costco either as the nearest one to me is just under

    chicken even if it were free.

    I'll be using the rest of what we have on the two ribeye roasts
    I'm making for Easter lunch. I'm also going to buy a couple of
    Costco chickens. I'm making mashed potatoes and will use some of
    the juices from the chickens for the gravy, along with Minor's
    chicken base. I've got 2.5 pounds of fresh spinach for the
    cheesy spinach. On Easter morning, I'll harvest some baby
    arugula from the garden, and a little bit of the fresh spinach
    that folks can add to the L&T salad if they wish. I'll buy
    Italian bread Saturday morning.

    I'll also be making frozen corn, specifically the Target brand,
    Good and
    Gather gold and white, which I've found to be sweeter than any
    other brand. I'll be mixing in chopped and sauteed jalapenos. My
    son specifically requested that. I think he wants me to make
    that for every holiday meal.

    The desserts will be chocolate mousse cake and a lemon blueberry
    cake. There will be no alcohol, as no one but me, the only adult
    there who wasn't raised Catholic, is the only one who drinks.
    That's just weird. We're expecting 15 adults and 2 small
    children. It might even be silly to buy more than one Costco
    chicken, but they're only 5 bucks, and they're good left over.

    You can't make anything decent from a $5 chicken. Spending time and
    effort preparing that chicken is like polishing a turd.

    Thanks Chef.  Will Winter be there too?

    Winter is married to an illegitimate son of John Kuthe and lives on
    the other side of St. Louis from Bryan.

    While we have never cooked an actual ham we do frequently do a glazed

    slice peameal she gets a nice big chunk of it. She simmers it in apple
    juice to remove some of the saltiness. Then she bakes it with a brown

    It's more like 19 miles return for me. I don't go to get just one thing.
    I usually go and get enough to make the trip worthwhile and I stock up
    on the things that are good bargains or available only at Walmart. I get
    cases of 500ml bottles of Perrier, cases of ginger beer, boxes of
    frozen ready to cook croissants, lamb chops and rack of lamb. I pick up
    cases of juice that my wife donates to her church's food bank. Best of
    all is the cheese. I get huge packs of Jarlsburg, goat cheese, blue
    cheese and smoked cheddar for about half the price I would pay in a
    grocery store.

    I am all for that. I would have the hot dogs more often but by the time
    I have been through the store and waited in line to check out I just
    want to get out of there. My friend call their hot dog deal The Tube of

    That's a shame. Costco IS a Chef Bryan approved grocer, so you're
    missing out there. You don't have to go all the way to da LOO, as any location is approved.

    Surely you can look out your window and see a costco within a few
    hundred feet?

    other brand. I'll be mixing in chopped and sauteed jalapenos. My
    son specifically requested that. I think he wants me to make
    that for every holiday meal.

    The desserts will be chocolate mousse cake and a lemon blueberry
    cake. There will be no alcohol, as no one but me, the only adult

    That's just weird. We're expecting 15 adults and 2 small
    children. It might even be silly to buy more than one Costco
    chicken, but they're only 5 bucks, and they're good left over.

    You can't make anything decent from a $5 chicken. Spending time and
    effort preparing that chicken is like polishing a turd.

    Thanks Chef.  Will Winter be there too?

    Winter is married to an illegitimate son of John Kuthe and lives on
    the other side of St. Louis from Bryan.


    Maybe some day the feud will end and there will be an even bigger
    happy fambly in da LOO!

    He might be dead. He no longer occupies *The Cumrag & Roach*. His son
    sold off his fancy hi fi equipment. You could call his old number to
    do a welfare check. 314-725-7119. If he answers you could say that
    you are Hank from the newsgroup. I bet that his mind is too gone to
    remember you even if he is still wasting oxygen.

    So you're going to dox AND stalk him?


    I think the lord gawd commanded Chef to smite Kuth.
    But kuth escaped, and Jehobah got really, really pissed.

    Now Chef is suffering under the lord gawd's wrath and magic spells.

    Gods with supreme magic powers are tough to combat.
    They are even more powerful than rock-em-sockem robots.

    Chef will die soon. He will be buried next to his lover Kuth.

    Neither will have a christian cross over the burial site.

    Be careful. You don't want god coming after you next!

    I don't consider Costco either as the nearest one to me is just under

    I have belonged to BJs since the 1980s, but on my last year. They still
    have some good prices and good value, but for one person, some of the
    quantity is a bit much.

    For me, it is a 32 mile round trip. I have the time, that is not an
    issue, I just don't consume enough of anything to make it pay.

    Ah, tortured factory chicken cooked by the supermarket. And you felt

    Costco chickens are great, and Costco is not a "supermarket." They sell
    hundreds of them every day.

    It's already prepared. Costco chicken is legendary.

    Ah, tortured factory chicken cooked by the supermarket. And you felt
    superior when it comes to cooking? Ghe ghe.

    Costco chickens are great, and Costco is not a "supermarket." They sell
    hundreds of them every day.

    Why does a superior chef care what food the riffraff buy?

    Everyone buys them other than sissy vegetarians. Here are pieces of dead
    cow for tomorrow.

    People with a little bit of taste don't buy that. Clearly you don't
    know anybody like that.

    I don't consider Costco either as the nearest one to me is just under
    19 miles away.  Nope, I ain't driving almost 40 miles round-trip for
    chicken even if it were free.


    That's a shame.  Costco IS a Chef Bryan approved grocer, so you're
    missing out there.  You don't have to go all the way to da LOO, as any location is approved.

    Surely you can look out your window and see a costco within a few
    hundred feet?

    It's a 10 mile round trip from here, 4.9 there, 5.1 back. We know that
    Joan will almost always prioritize easy over food quality, but in this
    case it makes sense to not have a Costco membership when it's that far
    away. Unlike Sam's, which will allow non-members to shop with a 10%
    upcharge, you have to be a member. Sam's $4.99 chickens are smaller and
    less tasty.

    Just a quick word for Sam's - their chicken is pretty great too, same

    I don't know about hot dogs, but Sam's rotisserie chicken is nowhere

    There may be a few of them who would eat ham, but I don't know who. I've never seen ham served by any of them.

    They probably didn't cook or serve ham while you were around. They don't
    want to listen that mouth piss and moan about ham on the table and get a cussing for their effort.

    They'd probably pounce on young, tender, well prepared domestic rabbit if it's free.

    None of them are poor, and most would not eat rabbit.

    What makes you think domestic rabbit is poor folks' meat? Check for yourself, the price is right up there with ribeye roast.

    There is only one store around here that I know of where you stand a
    chance of finding rabbit. The last time I saw one there is was about $40
    and I would think you'd be lucky to get three servings. A chicken will
    feed at least four.

    This makes me think of capon. I read somewhere recently about it being a
    rich man's chicken. We used to buy them once in a while and I always
    thought they were quite economical. They are bigger than a chicken and
    more per pound but the meat was much better and there seemed to be more
    meat per pound than on a chicken. I haven't seen them for sale for a few years. The last time we thought about getting one we asked at the meat
    counter and the guy didn't even know what a capon was.

    As prolific as rabbits breed, I don't know why they're so expensive to
    buy to cook. Nope, they're definitely not poor folk food.

    I haven't seen capon in the store in ages, but then again, I can't say I've actually searched for them. A quick search and neither Walmart grocery nor Kroger offer them.

    If you ever see capon for sale you should pick one up and roast it. It
    is like chicken and, as I said, they yield more edible meat per pound
    than a chicken.

    Fryers and roasters are still sold as such in some places. They aren't
    special chickens. It is more about the age and size.

    "Just chickens" are broiler-fryers. They take the least amount of
    time to raise and generate the most profit.

    I used to be able to find stewing chickens at a grocery store that
    grew out of a butcher shop. But it closed a decade or so ago.

    Capons are available at butcher shops around here.

    If you ever see capon for sale you should pick one up and roast it. It
    is like chicken and, as I said, they yield more edible meat per pound
    than a chicken.

    "Capon prices typically range from $5 to over $12 per pound or roughly $60–$140+ per bird, depending on weight (usually 4-12 lbs), source,
    and whether they are fresh or frozen. Specialty farms and online
    butchers often charge higher prices for these larger, more tender,
    and flavorful castrated roosters compared to conventional chicken."

    I think I'd just roast a broiler-fryer.

    I once asked about Seville oranges. I know they are only available for a
    short time in Jan-Feb. I asked the guy in the produce department. He
    seemed puzzled. I described them as being ugly and with a coarse bubbly looking skin (best I could think of) and only being around for about a
    week each winter. Then a light bulb went off in his head " Oh yeah, the really delicious oranges".. Er... no. They are horrible, but they make
    good marmalade.

    I had a similar incident in a Canadian Tire parts department. I
    explained that I was looking for an inner tube for a lawn tractor
    trailer tire. I gave him the size of the tires. He looked at me and
    asked "What's an inner tube". I realize that the younger generation are
    more used to tubeless tires and probably never drove a car with tube
    tires but this was the parts department. In another CT store I was
    looking to buy a semi automatic .22 rifle and asked the woman behind the counter to show me one and pointed to it. She pulled out a shot gun. I
    said no, I am interested in the .22 not a shotgun. She asked "What's the difference?".

    Costco rotisserie chicken is a gift from heaven. It's a wonderful
    chicken roasted to perfection. I can get roast chicken from the
    supermarkets in our little town but it's going to cost twice as
    much for a smaller, less juicy, chicken that's been sitting under
    heat lamps for hours. OTOH, a big, hefty, chicken is too much for
    my wife and I to handle. We'll eat the dark meat and make soup
    with the remains. It's just too much for old people. My step-mom
    has to have ham for the holidays. It's just something that the
    Swedes feel compelled to do.

    I don't usually consider Costco rotisserie chickens because I am
    usually there between 10 and 11am.  I would be more likely to get
    one if it were late afternoon and I could get it home hot. I love
    cold chicken but I am not interested in it luke warm.  At any rate, >>>>> I happened to walk by the chickens and was amazed at how cheap
    there were. At the usual grocery stores I would not be able to find
    a raw one that cheap, and then I would have to cook it.


    The chicken is so cheap because it's being subsidized by Costco and
    their members. No matter, we should enjoy it while it lasts, it won't
    last forever. In the future, people will remember Costco's chicken
    and hot dogs with fondness. These are the days, my friend. We thought
    they'd never end.


    Just a quick word for Sam's - their chicken is pretty great too, same
    for their dogs.

    I don't know about hot dogs, but Sam's rotisserie chicken is nowhere
    near as good as Costco's. It's significantly smaller too. I'm a member
    at both. We just bought ice at Sam's about an hour ago. When our
    membership expires in September, I won't renew it. The plan is to wait
    the minimum 6 months, then buy another 60% off senior membership, or
    maybe just do the guest pass thing, and pay the 10% upcharge, as it's
    only a convenience thing. Sam's is less than half a mile away, and
    Costco is 5 miles.

    I have compared the chickens, and it's no contest. Costco chickens are
    great. Sam's chickens are just OK. Also, Costco gas is Top Tier. Sam's
    gas is not. Sam's is inferior in every way to Costco.


    Popeye, is dat yoose?

    Can you find any aspect (other than the membership being a little
    cheaper, and allowing day passes) where Sam's is *not* inferior to
    Costco? Sheldon made statements that were incorrect, such as that the
    water for boiling pasta should be the same salinity as seawater.

    The beef is in the oven at 170F, and jalapenos are chopped and sauteed.
    Next, 2.5 pounds of spinach, but that's after a nice latte.

    I have no idea why Kentucky Fried chicken rebranded itself as KFC.
    Perhaps because acronyms became a thing. I do know why Federal Express rebranded itself as Fed-Ex. It's because people kept calling it Fed-Ex.

    I was friends with a number of people who worked at the Memphis terminal
    where Federal Express overnight delivery got its start. It was a big
    secret among the employees but it was hinted at by my friends who worked there. The reason they did rebrand was because people kept abbreviating it.

    1. "KFC" is shorter, easier to recognize, and translates across
    languages more smoothly than "Kentucky Fried Chicken".
    2. By that time, KFC was selling more than just fried chicken (e.g.,
    grilled items, sandwiches, sides).
    3. "Fried" had started to carry negative connotations as people became
    more health-conscious.

    son sold off his fancy hi fi equipment. You could call his old
    number to do a welfare check. 314-725-7119. If he answers you
    could say that you are Hank from the newsgroup. I bet that his
    mind is too gone to remember you even if he is still wasting
    oxygen.

    So you're going to dox AND stalk him?

    Dox? Everybody knows his address. He posted it many times.
    AI Overview
    Doxing by home address is the malicious act of publicly revealing an individual's physical residence without their consent, often to facilitate real-world harassment or intimidation.
    How Home Addresses Are Obtained
    Attackers gather address information through various "breadcrumbs" left online:
    Data Brokers: Many "people search" sites like Spokeo, Whitepages, and Intelius aggregate public records, including home addresses, which can be purchased or searched.
    Public Records: Real estate websites, property tax records, and voter registration databases often contain physical addresses accessible to the public.
    Social Media & Phishing: Users may inadvertently reveal their location through background details in photos, "check-ins," or by falling for phishing scams that trick them into providing personal details.
    WHOIS Lookups: If you own a website domain without privacy protection, your registration address may be visible in the WHOIS database.
    Risks of Address Doxing
    Once a home address is public, it can lead to:
    Swatting: Making a false report to emergency services to send armed police (a SWAT team) to the victim's home. This is extremely dangerous and often illegal.
    Physical Harassment: Victims may receive unwanted packages, food deliveries, or face in-person confrontations and stalking.
    Targeting Family: Perpetrators may use the address to find and harass
    family members or neighbors.
    Calling a
    number to see if there's an answer, and if there is, saying, "sorry,
    wrong number," is not stalking.
    Indeed, THAT becomes criminal HARRASMENT!
    Anyway, that son of a bitch would
    deserve anything I did to him within the bounds of the law.
    You are over-saturated in hatred and evil.

    You're posting his (former? current?) address and his phone number. Of course, that's doxing.

    He seemed off his rocker and often annoying, but otherwise quite
    harmless to me. You act as if he tried to kill your firstborn. I think
    this is your narcissistic personality disorder acting up.

    If you ever see capon for sale you should pick one up and roast it. It
    is like chicken and, as I said, they yield more edible meat per pound
    than a chicken.

    "Capon prices typically range from $5 to over $12 per pound or roughly $60–$140+ per bird, depending on weight (usually 4-12 lbs), source,
    and whether they are fresh or frozen. Specialty farms and online
    butchers often charge higher prices for these larger, more tender,
    and flavorful castrated roosters compared to conventional chicken."

    I think I'd just roast a broiler-fryer.

    My parents fattened up some capons for xmas when I was a child.
    The killed and dressed one and sent it to my father's brother as
    a present and it weighed 14 lbs.

    AI says: Kentucky Fried Chicken officially became KFC in 1991 to modernize
    its brand, streamline its name, and distance itself from the negative connotations of the word “fried.”

    Costco rotisserie chicken is a gift from heaven. It's a wonderful chicken roasted to perfection. I can get roast chicken from the supermarkets in our little town but it's going to cost twice as
    much for a smaller, less juicy, chicken that's been sitting under
    heat lamps for hours. OTOH, a big, hefty, chicken is too much for
    my wife and I to handle. We'll eat the dark meat and make soup
    with the remains. It's just too much for old people. My step-mom
    has to have ham for the holidays. It's just something that the
    Swedes feel compelled to do.

    I don't usually consider Costco rotisserie chickens because I am
    usually there between 10 and 11am. I would be more likely to get
    one if it were late afternoon and I could get it home hot. I love
    cold chicken but I am not interested in it luke warm. At any rate,
    I happened to walk by the chickens and was amazed at how cheap
    there were. At the usual grocery stores I would not be able to find
    a raw one that cheap, and then I would have to cook it.



    The chicken is so cheap because it's being subsidized by Costco and
    their members. No matter, we should enjoy it while it lasts, it won't
    last forever. In the future, people will remember Costco's chicken
    and hot dogs with fondness. These are the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end.


    Just a quick word for Sam's - their chicken is pretty great too, same
    for their dogs.


    I haven't been to Sam's Club in quite a while but I'll have to go there. They don't have as many new and surprising products but Costco is one big rat race and a hassle. SC is much more relaxing. They have a food court and the pizza and
    hot dog are okay but most of the other food items are lackluster. They need a food/menu consultant that can get folks excited.

    Lunch today was some K-Pop Demon Hunter themed noodles. I added some leftovers and a marinaded egg. The egg was a fail because it was overcooked and the sauce
    was Chinese soy sauce that was not deluded enough. Next time I use Japanese shoyu
    deluded way down.

    My mistake was cooking the eggs at room temperature. I typically cook that kind
    of eggs straight from the refrigerator. This is what I get for trying to be too
    fancy.

    My daughter made some pickle chocolate chip cookies. Oddly enough, I didn't taste any pickles. I like the idea but it needs more pickles cut bigger. I bet pickled jalapeno peppers would be totally awesome in the mix.

    Too fancy? Um, just cook them for a shorter period of time. Eggs tend
    to continue cooking for a few minutes after they are removed from the heat.

    didn't taste any pickles. I like the idea but it needs more pickles
    cut bigger. I bet pickled jalapeno peppers would be totally awesome
    in the mix.

    Now that is out of bounds as Guy likes to say.

    Otoh, some red chile powder in the batter mix, hmmm...
