wasn't even a question!
I get a call from my EX last night... I had been home about an hour from work, and had an adult beverage in hand... I don't drink and drive, because my lively hood depends on it. She tells me she just bought two corned beef briskets at Costco that was .97 cents a pound. She knows me well enough to know I can't pass up a bargain like that, and I have in the past bought her some stuff that were good prices knowing she is on a tight budget. I ask her if she was still there, she says "NO"... I ask her if she bought me some... "NO". She zoned out on giving me a call.
Today after work I figured I will do the thing I hate the most... Costco on a Saturday late afternoon in Folsom. I get there just knowing they would have it on a end cap to get them moving, I looked all over and none to be found. I figured i missed out on a good deal, oh well, see if I fix my son and her any corned beef for the rest of the year!
Just as I was about to give up, I stumbled upon them... They were USDA Choice flats, sell by date May 30, 08 with a pack date of May 17,08. They were quite a few there...
Now the question is... I do like corned beef on ocassion (more than once a year), I do like to entertain and with the summer months coming up... How many does one person buy? also... How many ways to do corned beef briskets? I see recipes for pastrami (which I really do like), anyone have a favorite way? Any other ways to utilize the briskets? I am not sure if this was just that one Costco or not, but not a bad deal.
Peace all,
