Others should take note of this. (For my benefit.)

Your post with the video image was a better attention-getter here on this busy site. Glad others are seeing it now.

How much at Costco?
$40/lb at costco, $56 at murrays, so something of a discount.

I posted that for my region, SF Bay Area. They’d said they weren’t getting them again for Christmas and then they did.
What a bargain! I bought one for me and 2 for my friend. He would have bought more but no place to store.

I wudda have picked one up to freeze, but no room in the freezer, especially after all the freeze-ables I already had in my cart😵
YAY
Every great once in a while I find Chanterelles in the cold produce room. The other day SSF had them, $12 for 16 oz
I think my recipe is from Serious Eats, here’s a photo before I added crushed garlic, “living” fresh thyme and butter.
Other markets change $40 + for these.

I tried to go to Costco today, two days before Christmas. The parking lot was bumper to bumper. I didn’t bother going in, and it took 15 minutes to get out of the lot.

Yay for Costco’s return policy! We purchased a tramontina cooking set for my daughter as a housewarming gift, price dropped $40, I filled out an online form and had a refund 4 hours later.
Yay!

I have used their “claim the discount later” policy - matching their own sale price within 30 days of purchase - many times for items varying from prescription eye glasses to cereal and vitamins. It’s a great way for them to encourage you to just buy now, when you need an item. I’ve always claimed mine in person at the service desk, since I bought my items at a warehouse. Glad to read that it works for online purchases as well.
Wandering around the freezer section of Costco yesterday I stumbled upon a bag of “Korean Sweet Potato Bread.” It being NYE – and, you know, YOLO! – I decided to take the $12 plunge.
I wondered why there were no photos of the bread on the bag, and when I opened it up I discovered that the photos on the bag were in fact the “bread”. The bag contains a dozen little purple colored half domes, each of which look (on quick glance) much like half of a sweet potato.
The provided cooking instructions are troubling: 338F (so specific!), 15-20 minutes (so vague??). My oven only operating in 5 degree increments, I went with 340. And I split the time difference to 18 minutes.
Silly me, I expected “bread” to emerge from the oven. Instead what I got is a Frankenstein side dish: Mochilike skin covering mashed sweet potato. It’s really super weird, but not at all bad. I kind of like it in a “I’m not sure if I actually want more” sort of way. (Which is to say, a second one; I ate the entire test subject.)
I have no idea whether I’ll cook another one, or what to serve it with. But I’m intrigued, so they’ll live in my freezer for at least the time being. Anyone have some clue how this is actually intended to be consumed?

338F is 170C, a “rounder” number, so it was probably just a conversion from Celsius
