Cock Roulette

Pardon the abrasive title, my roommate came up with it. Today I'll be talking about the pain of waiting for potatoes to boil so that they can be mashed. It's hard to come up with topics for blog posts, so bear with me on this one. I'll try to find a way to turn this into some sort of observation on the human condition.

This is Skel's roommate here. Hello, world. Seems like he forgot about his blog and went to the bathroom. I made him peel potatoes today, but turns out they were geodes. Had strange hollow innards that smelled strongly of... potato. He took a while to get suitable flesh for consumption, but he eventually managed to scrounge for a proper quantity suitable for sustenance. The chicken got cold, though. Speaking of which, he managed to omit the root of the title for today's blog—rotisserie chicken. I hope y'all have had the pleasure of slurping down a massive $5 Costco rotisserie cock. Stuff is delicious. And it makes great soup. Well, I hear Skel getting out of the shower now, so I'd better head off before he finds me. Enquen signing off~

Wow, I don't know what that was about. I must've been possessed. Anyways, yeah I was just sitting watching shroud play marvel rivals while the chicken we bought from Costco got cold on our dinner table. My roommate was generous enough to take apart the chicken, so all I had to do was peel the potatoes. He also made me peel carrots so that we an use the other chicken that we bought for tomorrow's dinner of chicken and dumplings. Good stuff.

Isn't crazy that Costco sells rotisserie chicken for $5? You could just go there and wait for the cooks to put out fresh ones, buy one (or more), and eat them right there. The chicken is cooked. It's not raw. You don't have to do anything to it, just avoid the bones and you can eat all of it and be done. All for $5. Costco is just such a strange place. For some reason, you get more for less on a lot of the products they sell, the most infamous example being the $1.50 hot dog. We got a large (relatively) tub of sour cream for around $4, while the much smaller ones at grocery stores would cost more to buy multiple.

I'm not sure if any other family in America is like this, but I've noticed with mine that we're much more likely to eat out when we do large amounts of grocery shopping. It may just be because of the labor of moving all the groceries, but why not just use all the groceries that were just purchased? I bring this up because I noticed while we were driving out of Costco that it is also surrounded by lots of restaurants. So much of human society depends on food. Nothing would work if there was no way to get food. Food food food food food.
