Welcome back everybody!
Lot’s of new items hitting the shelves these days as we creep slowly into the summer. Items like the one reader Mike has been looking for, the Tommy Bahama backpack beach chair!
He did finally wind up finding some at the Mississauga (Dundas and Dixie location) warehouse!
The garden center is slowly adding more baskets to its inventory.
Though it’s still a bit early in the season for me. Last year I think had 2 ferns and 2 baskets that I was putting out every morning and bringing back in every night for a while… It was like a portable jungle in here for a while, so I think I’ll wait until late May this time.
The Naturally Solar LED path lights are back for $49.99 for the 5 pack.
I will need to get some more of these since over the winter a handful of ours got crushed under some snow plowing… Whoops! I just wish they would make them the same design each year so everything would match, ya know?
So, I’ve now had the Stoney Creek roast beef Au Jus, and it is delicious! Today I decided to try and recreate the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich from my kitchen days at the Iron Duke, and ya know what? I nailed it! The only mistake I made was eating the whole thing before heading to work, it wasn’t exactly energy food and left me feeling kinda like this…
I felt that sigh…
Anyhow, it was really easy to whip up. Get yourself some sliced Spanish onion and mushrooms and sautee them in oil or butter until the mushrooms have shrunk a big and the onions have some color, then add about 1/3 – 1/2 of one of the packages of beef.
Now is when you’ll want to add the cheesey deliciousness, and you can get as crazy as you want with it! Start with a base of 2-3 tbsp.cream cheese, then add your flavors! (I added ketchup and sriracha hot sauce, but you could use BBQ sauce or literally anything else you think might be good!)
Let that fry up until the cheese melts in with the rest, no need to over do it at this point. You just want everything to combine and melt in. Now, get yourself a squishy bun. Could be any bun you want, but a Sub style, works best here. Cut open a grove in the top and butter it up, then add in ALL of the delicious filling in the pan, and yes, it will all fit.
You’re not done yet! You must add more cheese. Yes, I said more cheese!
You need to add some shredded cheese to the top of this beast and again, no rules on what kind of cheese, I used the Welsh cheddar from Costco because it was right there, but you could use shredded provalone, swiss, marbled cheddar, cheese curd, mozzarella. Anyhow, top the sammy with the cheese and fire it under a hot broiler until it looks like this.
I have no regrets, as it was 100% worth the food coma. You could easily feed a few people with this though, so don’t feel the need to do what I did. But I do highly recommend you give this a shot folks, I was impressed by how delicious it was and how quick it comes together. a few quick minutes of prep and about 5-7 minutes of cook time and you’re in flavor country!
Even Ewok’s eyes were locked on it, until I told him it wasn’t his lunch… Then he was mad…
I think he has forgotten about it at this point, but I should find him and make sure. (although apparently someone let him try a chicken taco at dinner, so he can’t be that mad!)
Anyhow, I’m gonna get rolling. There’s sales for you to check out, and I’ve gotta get to bed and be ready for a busy morning/afternoon at the restaurant.. So I’ll bid you all adieu. Enjoy the weekend update, and your Cheeseteaks that you’ll be making tomorrow night!
Cheers everyone.

Hello and good morning. Today’s posting had google ads for trucks in the middle of the web page. I closed them out at least four times and they still popped up. I know the ad revenue is important to you, however these ads are really annoying and caused my pages to glitch out and had to start at the beginning. Any way to push these ads to the bottom?
Hi Margaret, I’m sorry to hear that. If you zoom your web browser out to 100% that has fixed that problem for some of the readers.
So yesterday I had a “start the car, start the car” Ikea moment at my warehouse. I found a lone kid’s slumber bag (like a furry animal with kitty head and paws) just sitting on a shelf, no sign no price. They had been around $45, way too much money imho. At checkout it was $13.97!! Woohoo yes!
This is for Mike. All the Rio chairs sold out very quickly according to a staff member so I asked her to check Mississauga and it looks like the Laird location has stock. For future reference, if you give them the item # which you can find here, they can look up other locations for you. Good luck!
Cheers, Jan
Hi Jan,
Thank you so much for all that information. I am heading to that location right now…lol. I am having that IKEA moment and ‘starting the car’. Haha! Everyone here has been incredibly helpful! Thank you ☺️
Cheers and happy Costco shopping,
Mike
Any luck????
Hey Jan,
I drove like a maniac to get there but unfortunately, they sold out 😩. I saw the Tommy Bahamas chairs though at that location…lol.
That Philly Cheesesteak sandwich looks yummy … other than the mushrooms which I’d have to leave out. Thanks for making my stomach grumble. 😉
Wondering if anyone has tried the Kirkland cold brew coffee? Opinion? Thought it might be mice to have on hand for warmer weather.
Hi Susan, just curious here…. in the summer, sometimes we brew extra coffee and let it cool down then later drink it over ice. Is that different to a cold brewed coffee?
I think that’s a great way to do it Jan, now if you add some Patron XO and baileys and shake it over ice… That’s my kind of cold coffee!
Hmmm, I’m actually a Patron Añjeo gal myself…. 😉
I like the Anejo’s as well, but Gran Centenario is a better choice than Patron, and if you can get Milagro anejo do it because it’s amazing!. And Aquamiel blanco is the best tequila I’ve had so far.
Jan, here’s the explanation I found: “Cold Brew is made without heat, which creates lower acidity for a smoother, naturally sweet taste. Iced Coffee is brewed double strength then cooled, which creates a refreshing, lighter body.” Double strength so pouring it over ice doesn’t make it too weak. I do like iced coffee but like it the same as my hot coffee – with cream and maple syrup.
I tried Starbucks’ cold brew 4 years ago when I started intermittent fasting and was trying to get used to black coffee. Other fasters were raving about Starbucks’ having that naturally sweet taste but for me it was a waste of $5 (plus gas since they only had it at one Starbucks in the area then). I didn’t like it any better than regular black coffee. But I’d like to try another brand because I reconfirmed twice yesterday that I just don’t like Starbucks coffee! I tried their instant Via that afternoon and it was just as bad as other brands, then I had an odd craving for a coffee in the evening so stopped at a Starbucks for a decaf since my regular café was closed and I had a gift card a friend gave me 2 years ago – I didn’t like that either.
Hmmm … adding tequila and Bailey’s won’t work when I’m going for the plain black coffee. Not a big Bailey’s fan but maybe the tequila when not fasting!
Thanks Susan, very informative info. I went “no cream, no sugar” a few years ago and now if I try a coffee with cream & sugar it tastes kinda gross lol. I also did the intermittent fast thing for about 16 weeks and NO weight loss 😝 but it worked for my husband 🤬. 🤷🏼♀️
Susan, it was yummy… Absolutely try it! I haven’t tried the cold brew coffee yet, I’m not a huge fan of cold/chilled coffee for some reason… I can make a mean iced coffee, but I just always prefer my coffee hot! Let’s ask about that on Monday and see what we get!
I love hot coffee in cold weather but prefer it cold when themps go up. Got one vote for it so far I see!
Thanks for suggesting the Stoneycreek beef au jus. I sauteed mushroom, peppers and onions and added one package and it was simply delicious! I used provoline cheese slices and hamburger buns! I am so glad we tried it!
That sounds delicious Michelle, I’m glad I got your creative kitchen juices flowing!
Susan, the cold brew coffee is great!
Jan, I think it’s a different process for brewing, so not exactly like regular coffee that is chilled, although that is good too! It’s less acidic as well.
I’ve been looking for it for months, will have to go grab a case on my next Costco run.
Thanks Jenna maybe I should check it out too. Oh dear, just what I need, MORE ways to spend $$$ at Costco!!! 😝
Thanks Jenna – think I’ll give it a try. If I’m not thrilled, I’ll keep it on hand for others or experiment with recipes for different versions, like Jan and Costco East have suggested. 😉
Hi Jan,
Thank you for everything.
If you ever get a Costco business centre in Kingston they sell boxes of 28 frozen Philly steaks that are really good.
Hey Gary, I’d LOVE to have a business centre here… The closest one is Ottawa, so it’s a special trip for me.
