Costco Experimentation is Good for the Economy
October 25th, 2008Cream Puffs
It is impossible for me to go to Costco without buying something stupid. Today’s crime? Creampuffs.
I’m sure you’ve seen them, frozen in their big white bucket. Like me, you must have had an almost morbid fascination, wondering what a frozen creampuff in a bucket would be like.
Anyway, I bought them.
The verdict? You will not mistake them for fresh creampuffs. On the other hand, you could slop some raspberry sauce or chocolate sauce on them to cover the bucket flavor.
I managed to resist the odd-looking P’tit Basque cheese.

Costco is the Devil’s workplace. I can’t escape without something lethal to eat. They used to have decent pickled herring, but no longer. The crap they’re selling now is not pickled, just insufficiently salted bait bits. At least in the Seattle area stores.
My last crime at Costco was the Tyson frozen sausage patties. I can now have a Sausage and Egg McMuffin any time I wish. I made an egg ring out of a water chestnut tin so I can have a perfectly round 3″ fried egg with bits of shell, just the way Mickey Dee does it. Nuke the frozen sausage patty for 30 seconds, flip it over with a slice of Kraft patented cheesy type flavored substance on it to melt for 20 more , then when my egg is done, and my muffin toasted and slathered with el-cheapo margarine, I’m good to go. A cut-rate heart attack, ready in a minute and a half for less than 60 cents. It’s hard to tell from the real thing from Mickey Dee’s for a buck seventy. At least at 0300 when I wake up to go pee and feel the intense craving for grease.
Thank You Costco

I love the frozen creampuffs at Costco. Of course no one would mistake them for fresh. But then – they are available at a moment’s notice for pennies, in contrast to the time invested in homemade or the cost of a premium bakery.
Since children might be reading this blog, I shall remain mute as to some of the other items that find their way into my Costco shopping basket. One tidbit: anyone else ever eat 38 servings of low fat kettle fried chips in less than 48 hours?
