Costco grazing report
Costco is a great place to go for lunch on Saturday. Today they were sampling:

Lindor dark chocolate truffles
Costco Cherry Pie (had to have one of those -- it's my favorite, well, maybe peach is -- hard to say)
Pork Tamales (okay)
Boca Burgers (people eat this stuff?)
Chicken Mozzarella Raviolia (okay, kind of bland)
Pizza with basil, tomatoes, and cheese imported from Italy. (not bad)
Philly cheesesteak sandwiches (didn't try them, I don't like 'em)
Brownie bites (bury me in them, oh they were awesome!)
Some kind of healthy yogurt drink (I like yogurt, but I'm not about to drink it)
Juice or something that I also didn't try.

So, there's the Costco report. I also got a rotisserie chicken, some Alaskan King Crab Sweet Corn Chowder (expensive but it sounded so freaking awesome I had to try it), a bottle of red, and coffee.

I wonder if they sample the same products nationwide or if they vary by market.

2. Me too! Costco grazing is fun.
When we visit Boston we go.
AND Trader Joe's.
Wish we had one of those too.
Down here in coastal Alabama we have a choice between The Winn-Dixie (it's always referred to as THE Winn-Dixie) or Walmart.
I stick with W-D.

4. The King crab/corn chowder
is 'to-die-for' good. Worth every penny, imho. This week I indulged in Harry's new England style Clam Chowder. Also a winner in my book. The cold rainy weather sorta sets the perfect stage for a soup and warm bisquits kinda lunch.

8. Cheesecake that had some chocolate
We went to the local Costco Friday, what I tried that I thought was best was the Cheesecake that had some chocolate in it. I followed the wife it, was like following a guide missile to the chocolate.:)

9. Costco is a ZOOOOOOO on Saturdays!
I try to go during the week, because I can be a bit impatient with my fellow travelers.
