I cannot get enough of Vietnamese Pho instant noodles. It’s so good and different from what I’m used to. I know they are bad for me (high sodium, empty calories, untimely death, etc..), but they are so good. Also, each serving unit is smaller than most instant noodles, so I eat less sodium and fewer calories. I bought 2 boxes while they were still on sale.

The season is changing. I see more pumpkins than watermelons in stores now. This year, I only had one super-fantastic watermelon. I would really like to enjoy some good watermelons before the season ends. I walked into Costco warehouse focused – and found less than 10 watermelons huddling at the bottom of a large bin.

I cannot imagine female shoppers going for watermelons in the bins like that. Because you have to REALLY bend over in order to get to the watermelons. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone files a lawsuit over putting watermelons at a ground level like that. It’s not only physically challenging to pick up a watermelon, but it prevents most female shoppers from getting the watermelons. It puts the women shoppers in an embarrassing position.

Anyway, I found one watermelon for me. It didn’t look very good, but it was the best of what was left. This watermelon was somewhat enjoyable. It was about 8 1/2 out of 10 on a yummy scale.

Last week, a reporter from a news website asked me several questions about Costco – mainly about why I love Costco.

I said, “Costco relaxes my soul”, among others…

I guess they quoted me.

But… I am not a die hard Costco fanatic. I am just a consumer.

Costco happens to be the greatest thing ever.

I am obsessed with watermelons. I want good watermelons, but I don’t know how to pick them. This watermelon from Costco was not very tasty. So, went online and studied how to find good watermelons. The next day I went to a local market and bought another watermelon. That one was good, but not super-fantastic.

Instant Vietnamese Pho was on sale so I gave it a try. They are very good. It goes nicely with sriracha sauce.

José’s Gourmet Coffee was having a roadshow at my warehouse. This was perfect timing. I picked up 3 bags of Christmas flavors. I will give one bag to a friend. The smell of this coffee makes the holiday season more festive, and it makes me feel cozy when it’s cold or raining outside.

I use three different soaps. They are; 1) Fancy boutique soap for handwashing, 2) moisturizing soap (Dove) for the shower, and 3) squeaky clean soap (Irish Spring), also for the shower.

In the shower, I use two different soaps on different parts of my body. For example, I want moisturizing soap on my body, but I want dry soap on my armpits and face.

Irish Spring is my go-to squeaky clean soap. Costco always puts these soaps on sale from time to time. So, I always buy Irish Spring with extra savings at Costco.

I knew nothing about Pecorino Romano Cheese. I thought I can cut it up and snack it. But, DANG, this cheese is salty. I mean it’s very salty, that it cannot be good for my blood pressure. My tongue is still burning from the cheese. Afterward, I went online and learned that Pecorino Romano Cheese is supposed to grate over pasta and such. I have so much to learn.
