New MMC Layer Announced for Kernel 2.6.24
Kernel 2.6.24 has kicked off with the announcement of a new MMC Layer. The new layer will support the SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) standards.
The MMC Layer will become available when the Kernel 2.6.24 merge window opens. In his posting on the Linux Kernel mailing list (lkml) developer Pierre Ossman writes that the subsystem has been reworked and that two major milestones, and many minor changes, have been achieved. The new subsystem is the first to provide native support for the SDIO and SPI standards – added incentive for deployment on mobile and embedded devices.
SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) is based on the SD memory card standard and gives users the ability to connect external devices such as mass memory, NICs, or GPS receivers via a SDIO slot. The new SDIO stack provided by the MMC Layer currently supports three drivers. Standard GPS devices can be accessed using the "sdio_uart" driver. In theory more UART devices (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) should be accessible in future. The "libertas_sdio" driver supports WLAN cards with Marvell's 8686 Libertas WiFi chip. However, it will not be introduced until shortly before the merge window closes due to unresolved dependencies between the SDIO maintainer's tree and the original "libertas" tree. The third driver, "hci_sdio", is for Bluetooth devices and will integrate with the kernel's Bluetooth subsystem.
Maintainer Ossman warns that the new stack design may make porting of more drivers a complicated process: on a brighter note, this may lead to more stable drivers that remove the need for hacks and workarounds.
The second major feature is SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) support. This will allow users to address and use SPI controllers for MMC, SD and SDIO, as long as they keep to the standard. Pierre Ossman admits that many controllers do not do so. Developer David Brownell is working on the SPI branch, but not on a permanent basis. This is why Ossman is looking for a new maintainer with sufficient experience of the Linux SPI interface, and time to spare.

Carrie Reichert, a 32-year-old British-born San Diego resident, is the first to speak out in an interview about Prince Harry's wasted and naked night in Vegas.
Reichert partied in the Wynn's VIP Las Vegas hotel suite on the night of the now-infamous Prince Harry naked billiards game, she revealed to the Mirror.
She even made out with the royal for a bit.
"It wasn't romantic, just fun," Carrie Reichert said. "It was a drunken fumble. He was a gentleman, but he was so wasted. The alcohol affected him."
She was chosen with nine other young women to join the party before the third in line to the throne, 27, personally picked her to be alone with him.
"We kissed, he was naked at the time, and pretty open," she is reported as saying.
"I was born in England and I'm pretty familiar with the royal family, but I didn't know the guys he was with ... I was the only one who knew who he was."
"Everybody else was like, 'Who's that?' And I'm like, 'Oh my God, that's Prince Harry.'"
She says earlier, a member of the prince's entourage approached her to see if she'd like to join the penthouse party. "I'm not going to pass up an opportunity to party with Prince Harry," she recalls as her response to the "random" invitation.
There was no security check at the already-raging party.

Such an exciting day! It's finally here…August 5, 2014…Release Day for Caroline's Secret!
Caroline's Secret is the first book in my new series set in Wells Landing!
For more info, check out my page dedicated to Caroline's Secret.
I think it's time to share my lovely, lovely cover for Courting Emily. (Mainly because the publishing house posted it on amazon <g>) Courting Emily is the story of Emily Ebersol, the bishop's daughter. I can't tell you a lot about this story yet, but I will say that the look on "Cover Emily's" face is perfect. So Emily–a little bit innocent, a little bit mischievous, a whole lot of spunk. I love it! What do you think?
Often admired. Misunderstood. Mysterious. I'm learning volumes deep inside the Amish from the many formers I know. Most left the Swartzentruber Order – the strictest and most punitive. Predominantly guys but a few gals have come through our home.
One thing that isn't too different from us is that the Amish creatively push the envelope on the rules. Many see what they can get away with before the line is crossed – a rule broken – and the Bishop or Preacher comes a calling.
Sometimes the stories are funny. Sometimes they are sad.
Our "son" from the Amish – Mosie – chuckled as he told me of homes where the no electricity rule didn't apply to the barn. Out there some Amish enjoyed lights and power tools.
Our son-in-law Harvey – also from the Swartzentruber Order – explained that buggy windshields were verboten. He grinned in glee when related the time he invented a windshield by wrapping his black buggy with clear plastic wrap.
"It was winter and I was cold going to work and back," Harvey reasoned. "So I made a windshield. I left early in the morning while it was still dark and came home at night, so my dad couldn't see my buggy. Then a guy saw my windshield and told Dad."
Harvey's dad is a bishop. He made Harvey remove the invention.
Before he left the Amish, Harvey spotted an old, broken bicycle – verboten. In the Swartzentruber Order, bicycles or any item with rubber wheels are against the rules.
"I was walking home one day and found a bike in a farmer's trash pile." Harvey claimed the worldly prize, walked it over two miles home, and while his parents were away, hid the thing in his father's workshop. He explained how he tinkered with it. Made repairs. Then he took his new "worldly" device over a hill and down in a deep culvert to keep in seclusion. "I told some of my friends," he said. So they could all share in the community "sin." Harvey added, "But, we rode at night so we wouldn't get caught."
Now, I think Harvey is clever to repair something he's never owned. Like many Amish, he demonstrates a visual learning style. He looks at, watches, and pays attention to detail to educate himself.
I've met Swartzentruber Amish who've purchased homes from English – with indoor plumbing – but kept promising the Bishop they'd remove that "worldly" convenience. And those who promise to build a room addition without electric and plumbing. Somehow that room addition is never built.
Mosie likes to tease. I can imagine he was ornery growing up.
Others have boasted of their ingenuity in getting around the rigid rules. I recently saw a picture of . . . well, I can hardly describe it. Not a car. Truck. Motorcycle. Nor a four-wheeler. It was a mismatched combination of those parts. Therefore the Amish driver wasn't breaking a rule or committing a "sin" by driving the combined contraction. He wasn't driving a car, truck, motorcycle or a four-wheeler. I guess his settlement hadn't made a rule against using a collective vehicle.
The teens hide radios and cell phones in the woods, inside the barn, or up in the attic. Some girls buy underwear at Victoria's Secret because, after all, nobody will SEE their "worldly" undergarment. The Swartzentruber Ordnung – rule book – prohibits English underwear; rather, they are to make their own.
Not unlike teens of any culture, most Amish youth push the envelope. I know some who keep a "worldly" automobile tucked away in the woods. They ride their buggies into the protection of the trees where they tie up the horse, change into English clothes, hop in the car, and cruise around town. Without a driver's license! In the wee early-morning hours, they sneak the vehicle back to the designated hide out, change into their strict, plain Amish clothing, climb into the buggy, and trot home before morning. Hoping to avoid detection.
Our second "son" from the Amish – Monroe – hid his cell phone in his loose Amish pants pocket. When he was at home, he would watch movies on his DVD player. Where'd he get that? He bought a DVD player at Walmart, and then hooked it up to a battery. Monroe and his sister, Sarah, would tiptoe up the steps of their home at night carrying the DVD player to their bedroom. There, they'd watch movies into the night. I can visualize a soft blue glow emanating from the upstairs of a darkened Amish home.
Monroe told me of his friends who'd take pictures with their cell phones – during prayer in church!
We read books and see TV programs about the Amish. But I'm learning of a very human dimension. Most have a God-given inquisitiveness. Apprentices in life. Unfortunately, it's that freelancing curiosity and resourcefulness that can get their teens in trouble. And it's often those with imagination, goals, and aspirations that don't fit the conformity – the solidarity – of the Amish who leave for the "outside" life.
If you'd like to learn more about Swartzentruber Amish and Brenda's "kids" from that culture, check out her blog:
Follow Brenda on Twitter
Thank you for sharing your stories, Brenda! You're welcome to comeback anytime.
We here all love the Amish. At least I assume you do or else you wouldn't be reading this. But each of us has something special they love most of all about these conservative and inspirational people.
I can remember the first time I heard about the Amish. I was young–still young enough to be living at home–though I can't remember my exact age. I thought the person who was telling me about the Amish was not telling me the truth. How could these people live without electricity? Wear old-fashioned clothes and drive horse and buggies? In the 20th century even. How was this even possible? But I started reading up on the Amish and found out what I could, which wasn't a lot. (Keep in mind here this is before the internet and the world was a much larger place.) But I found out one very important thing–the Amish were real.
I still have that same awe about them now–one that makes me nearly tongue-tied whenever I have the opportunity to talk with them. (I know, right? Me speechless!) But to me they are that special, frozen in time. And yet not. They see the world around them , but they (for the most part) choose not to live in that manner. Instead they carve out their life in an old fashion way that is both commendable and charming.
So I've asked myself why I find the Amish so intriguing and each day my answer is different. But the gist of it is always the same. Community. I love the fact that they live together, depend on themselves, each other and God for almost all that they need. How much better a place the entire world would be if we paid more attention to community instead of just ourselves.
What is it about the Amish that intrigues you?

Best Food Finds at Costco Part 2 6/10
Original thread goes back to 2007 and with over 450 posts it's too long to scroll thru. Can we start over guys? What are your Costco favorites?
there are a few things that i always get at costco. one of them being the grimaud farms duck confit....it is delicious and keeps forever. also the packaged lump crab in the refrigerator section....it keeps pretty much indefinitely unopened and is literally packed full, one pound of crab meat for 13.99.
re: loghia
duck confit?? I have never seen that there---where is it?
re: loghia
They said that they do not have duck confit anymore..........
Is that true or maybe it was just @ my local Costco?!
We've been buying organic gem lettuces from Costco -- they're packed by Earthbound Organics, and I haven't seen them anywhere else at such a nice price. I think the plastic carton includes six or eight little heads of lettuce.
re: operagirl
These are absolutely terrific. We have 3 Costco's near us but not all of them have these mini full-head lettuces all the time. The similar plastic container of mixed fancy lettuce "pieces"(?) is also very good.
re: operagirl
I love these- I eat a lot of salads for one, and being able to have variety without waste is appealing. Plus, those little lettuces are cute. :)
re: ferret
I went back for more today and it was $11.
re: ferret
This is some good stuff!!
I always have a bottle on hand.
And it is only $11.00
I bought a big bag of garlic bulbs last august and kept them in the bottom of my cupboard. They still haven't gone bad! Their onions seem to last much longer than those bought elsewhere. I like to buy the marinated flank steak in the refrigerated section once in awhile for a quick meal during the week. My friend likes the Cattle Drive baked beans he bought recently. Good thing too as they come eight cans bound together. He said they were good right out of the can. Usually he likes to doctor up his beans.
If you can find it ( they don't always carry it) "Carnitas" - roast pork chunks. I nuke it as per directions, , then shred it and saute it with sliced onions until the meat is crispy. Makes a wonderful burrito or serve over white rice and black beans.
The Milton's crackers with seeds are addictive. I used to only like water crackers, not whole wheat ones, but these are super good and crisp.
I wish they sold thw Swansons reduced salt chicken broth, they only sell the regular, and I do keep it in stock, but I'd really prefer reduced salt.
I like the onions, but they tend to go bad fairly quickly here. I use a lot, though.
They have shrimp dumpling soup, frozen, and there is a whole shrimp inside. Really good emergency food.
Good prices on breads, generally, like Orowheat Honey wheat and those low cal sandwich muffins. But I really like the LaBrea Bakery bread.
re: coconutz
I use their Pacific brand organic chicken stock which is low sodium, it's excellent and a bargin.
re: Midlife
8 bananas a lot for 2 people? Only if they don't like bananas. I usually have 2 a day myself.
re: Midlife
When I buy bananas at Costco, I peel and freeze 5 or 6 of them, enough to fill up a gallon bag lying flat. Then, I freeze them and use them in smoothies. It's a good option if you're a smoothie person!
re: operagirl
Great idea. Some things are just so simple you wonder how you could have missed them.
re: CindyJ
I just got the Cindy's Kitchen Mango Coconut & Pepper Sauce. I used it with some flash fried shrimp and it was very good. Just enough kick to offset the sweetness of the mango. Now that I have this huge bottle of the stuff I am trying to think of new ways to use it. I am going to marinate some chicken in it and serve it grilled over coconut rice later this week. Any other ideas?
And CindyJ is right, the boneless short ribs are phenomenal. Roll them in your favorite rub and place them on a skewer for instant kabob.. Approximately $5/lb for tender, fatty and flavorful beef. Be sure to read the label because they have hanger (or flap) steak similarly packaged. This is good too, but doesn't have the same fat content and will get real tough if you overcook it.
I love their pork chops....very addictive!
Always get a tub of palmetto cheese, a little shrimp cocktail, I love their premade spinach salad! Milk is a much....four gallons a week!
re: coney with everything
I got a whole prime ribeye, I think around $6.99 pp, a steal! i cut it into steaks, yum!
re: coney with everything
I recently got some of these at my local Costco, and yes, worth going back on payday.
Just got a flat of peaches that are tasty for $6.99
Tapenade is really good, along with a blueberry goat cheese.
Love getting the shrimp ceviche for a big container for $6 bucks
Those baby red, yellow and orange peppers are my fav's and for $3.79 for a big bag they are great and my dog goes nuts for them too!
re: Beach Chick
Fido's a foodie also! BTW - got some peaches, they were huge. Costco has pretty awesome fruit.
re: Beach Chick
Dang, ahi tuna and mango, can I be your junkyard dog? what a life!
re: jester99
Costco's roasted chickens are far and away the largest and best available anywhere in our area................ and very competitively priced too.
re: Midlife
Got to agree as to the roasted chicken. Too tired or hot to cook? We pick up one of these juicy birds and throw a salad together or simply make tacos. Yum!
re: Ms. Verde
I've eaten the rotisserie chicken there twice (once bought, once eaten at someone else's place) and I think it's just awful. Very bland. Our local chain grocery's version of the same is surprisingly better and cheaper. Odd.
re: rockandroller1
I've tried them from different stores, really are different, some seasoned much better. I generally shred and use in other food as a time saver.
re: jester99
I love their roasted chickens (and the skin is out of this world). Sometimes when it is too hot to cook or inconvenient, hubby will stop there on his way home and pick up one of those and their caesar salad as well. Its just a toss and a chop away from eating.
re: boyzoma
I call those crack chickens. I can't stop eating it. I got one a few weeks ago and it looked smaller to me. Maybe rather than raise the (extremely reasonable) price they just get smaller chickens.
I love lots at Costco. In the winter I always get a Rotisserie Chicken and with the carcass, I make great chicken stock.

I don't know if David's Cookies make the rounds to every Costco but they hit mine (Penna) once in awhile. Not this past weekend though. I was moping around the back of the bakery section, getting my Milton's loaf of bread when what to my wondering eyes did appear? A deep dish brownie cake from David's Cookies for 9.99! I could not resist. What a bargain! And even though the center is nice and fudgey, slices are even better gently nuked.
My Costco started selling Paella in their refrigerated prepared foods section so I bought a pan (it's $5.99/lb). It comes with a generous helping of scallops, shrimp, rotisserie chicken and chorizo slices, along with the rice and peas. I've only had paella about 3 or 4 times in my whole life and can't even remember the last time I ate it so I really don't have much to compare this to, but it was pretty tasty. We heated it in its own pan for about 40 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees as per the directions.
This makes for a nice and quick dinner. The only drawback is the amount that comes in the tray. I chose the lowest weight I could find, which was 2.5 lbs. Most of them are between 2.75 and 3 lbs.
things i am currently hooked on:
- kirkland granola
- two loaves of multi grain bread from the bakery
- sabra hummus
- brisket (for smoking)
- pork shoulder (for smoking)
- kirkland green tea bags
- tilamook cheddar
- fresh rasberries
Things I love and buy regularly:
Bag of 5 avocados - they ripen in a day or 2, keep well in the fridge. Never had a bad one.
Coastal rugged mature cheddar
Gorditas flour tortillas
Organic eggs
Silk Almond Milk
Naked OJ
Big wedge of Parmesano Reggiano
Just bought a two-25oz jar pack of hearts of palm at Costco today for $7.99. They are very good, and I am tempted to stock up because I'm afraid they'll go away!
Also saw large vacuum packages of Chinese sausages, aka Lap Cheong, but did not buy any. They were a very reasonable price, but I've never used them before so I was a little reticent to purchase such a large quantity. Has anyone tried the ones from Costco?
I've got to disagree with a previous poster's recommendation for the paella, you've really gotten season that dish for yourself. Its gonna be bland otherwise.
They've got this tandoori naan over in the breads section that I'm really digging at the moment. Its just a wonderful base item for quick meals. If you heat it on the grill you can make it crunchy which leads to awesome pizzas and sandwiches. Or you can just gently warm it and use it in lieu of rice.
mozzarella cheese: awesome. That naan bread I was talking about? Combo it up with the mozzarella and you're in for a fun quick meal.
rice: split it with a neighbor... or 3.
mini-cucumbers: in the refrigerated zone along with well prices spinach/lettuces.
Pomegranate seeds: Oh man... I absolutely adore these when they're in season. I think I've almost shot a friend's eye out when I 'accidentally' spit one at him
Bacon. Decent prices, bacon makes so many dishes better ^.^
meats in general come to think of it. One of my neighbors is a Costco fanatic and we jointly purchase a beef tenderloin every summer. He strips it down and well its awesome how much money you can save by doing so.
Just a quick tip though, chest freezers aren't that expensive and are really really useful if you plan on going to costco. Waste of food cuts down on savings and theres plenty of stuff that you can buy bulk and freeze.
I went to a gathering last night where Costco desserts were provided (I didn't know that up front). The cookies were OK - good, but not mind-blowing. However, what really did knock my socks off were these mini bite-sized cinnamon rolls. Holy s**t those were good! I was really stunned when I found out they were from Costco.
I took one of their red velvet cakes to a potluck the other night and it was a big hit. Such a deal for just $9.99, too - it compares favorably to the trendy boutique cupcakes so popular now and a much better deal. It's probably equal to about 50-100 of those 2-bites for $3.00 ones, haha..
New to me are the chipotle black bean veggie burgers (green box, 12 count). Unlike the usual veggie burger, they are much bigger and thicker, so they are sized to fit a bun. With bold, smoky flavors, they actually taste like something, especially when topped with a few slices of heirloom tomatoes and some avocado. I finally found a veggie burger that I can look forward to eating.
re: artemis
They're Morningstar Farms brand.
San Francisco Bay French Roast coffee (Tempe, AZ Costco--$13.99/3lbs) is delicious, strong coffee. But now I instead buy the Marques de Paiva Estate Blend Dark Roast at Costco. It's even better and $3 less! It may not be available at all Costco stores until its trial period is completed. I also buy Dofino Havarti sliced cheese for less than $4/lb. I am hoping for some organic apples, lettuce, blueberries and strawberries (otherwise loaded with pesticides). And some bad news--my Costco stopped stocking Trident Seafoods Ultimate Fish Sticks (still in some AZ stores--the best fish sticks ever) and Breaded Tilapia (not in any AZ stores). I was told that if it doesn't sell enough, Costco discontinues (duh). Anybody know where else these are sold near Tempe, AZ?
re: schifflaw
Sorry I can't help you about the tilipia or fishsticks - my Costco carries both, but it is in Southern California. I was wondering if people still have the frozen crab cakes at their local Costco? Mine doesn't sell them anymore, sigh...
re: monkuboy
Phillips Crab Cakes, there are 6 in the box? They're still available at the Arundel Mills and Beltsville Maryland locations.
re: schifflaw
They've stopped selling "premium" coffees except for "Charbucks" in the N.J. store I shop in. Very disappointing. They've sent me back to Trader Joe's for my coffee.
re: schifflaw
Update: My Tempe, AZ Costco now has restored both Trident Ultimate Fish Sticks and Breaded Tilapia! Unfortunately, Marques de Paiva coffee was a bust and is long gone. I still like SF Bay French Roast. We still need organic fruits and veges in Phoenix Costcos. Everybody should go to the environmental working group website (ewg.org) and download its list of 50 fruits/veges pesticide ratings (apples, berries are especially bad), and carry in your wallet. Dr. Weil's dirty dozen and safe to eat non-organic lists come from ewg.
recently served the John Wm Macy's Cheese Crisps for visitors to snack on, everyone loved them. Kirkland Peanut Butter. All the nuts
* frozen lamb shanks, 4 to a box, already in rosemary sauce. Just heat in the oven and serve, and they literally fall off the bone before you can even take a fork to them. Divine!
* The frozen crab cakes are pretty awesome too, especially with some remoulade or thousand island dressing drizzled on top. I was pleasantly surprised.
* Big cases of organic juices for my littles
* I discovered coconut water at Cosco! It is so nutritious, and I add just a splash of juice to it for flavor. However, at $15 for a case of 12 (more than $1 per can), it's the most expensive coconut water I have seen since I started looking for it. Vitamin Shoppe has it for 98 cents per can, and Super Wal-Mart has it for 78 cents per can.
* Kirkland's 91% fat free ground beef, packs of five individually wrapped 1 lb portions, for $10, and it tastes better than other grocery beef.
* Bulk honey, olive oil, and REAL maple syrup (not that fake pancake syrup full of high fructose corn syrup junk)
* as another poster said, the Pacific organic chicken stock is a great deal - 6 pks for $9
* Kirkland's organic strawberry spread! A huge jar for about $6, no high fructose corn syrup. My family goes through this stuff.
* The rotisserie chicken salad is soooooo good.
* And the piece de resistance: generic Zyrtec for my and my husband's allergies - 365 tablets for $15. Unbelievable!
re: starbucksbrew
My Favs have been; Racks of Lamb chops, citterno pruschuto(sp), kirkland smoked salmon, roasted garlic bread loafs-oh my- I stay away from costo- the hundred dollar store. I haven't been in a while.
re: CharlieKilo
if you buy a whole case of lamb (8 pieces) - easy with a freezer, they give you 10-20% off!
re: Divamac
The best part is that I've seen the same exact brand in tiny containers at gourmet stores for the same price as the huge container at costco! It's good on bagles, crackers, a spoon . . . I try to buy it about once a year, lots of sodium in it if i recall.
re: Divamac
I LOVE that whitefish salad. I was introduced to it during Passover at my SO's family's home and I could not stop eating it.
The Kirkland brand Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is very good. It's not great olive but a good everyday workhorse type for vinaigrettes and such. Less than $10/L
As a child, one of my favorite foods was Howard Johnson's blueberry toastee's. Just adored them. When HoJo went out, so did the frozen food line. The last time I was at Costco, i saw Awrey's now makes bluberry muffin rounds, eight to a cellophane pack. I think the cost was like $5.99, but not totally sure. As good as HoJo's. Childhood fond memory restored.
re: Fibber McGee
I used to love the HoJo's corn toastees! Haven't thought of those in years so thanks for the memory.
(Are you in Michigan? I am in AZ but grew up in MI and have never seen anything w/ the Awrey's brand outside of MI.)
re: mdepsmom
The Costco I got those at is in Commerce Township in Michigan. I have seen Awrey's products in Korger stores, for example, in Ohio, but I'm not sure how far they reach from Michigan.
re: Fibber McGee
Thanks . . . we have Fry's here, which is owned by Kroger, so I will have to check next time I am there.
re: mdepsmom
My Kroger doesn't have the blueberry version, unfortunately, but they do carry cornbread, which is not bad. They sell it by the roast chickens.
re: Fibber McGee
awrey's is now owned by a private equity firm and they are transitioning the business to more of a national/commercial focus.
I just tried the new gelato. For $1.50 you get 3 scoops. They only have 3 flavors: pistachio, mixed berry and strachiatella. I tried the P. and the S. The gelato was OK, not thrilling - the pistachio was the better of the two. What I really did love though was the waffle cone. It was very crisp and fresh tasting -- loved it! Too bad the gelato isn't better.
re: woodleyparkhound
which costco?
re: chez cherie
Pentagon City (VA)
re: woodleyparkhound
They've had it at Costco in SD for a while and also sell a pre-packed quart for around $4. It tastes great and is far less than any gelato shop in the area.
Couldn't resist a large package of frozen shrimp, scallops, calamari & mussels I came across the other day. Looks great for cioppino or over pasta. Anyone have any experience with it? Sorta not 100% sure if these can all be cooked together time-wise, especially the mussels (though they're small.).
re: Davwud
You'll want to heat it, so if there's a microwave in your hotel, yes.
re: mamueller
I liked that cake too mamueller. Their prices are so reasonable that I try almost any new offering. It is in the name of research I swear!
Bear & Wolf canned Wild Pink Salmon - a great buy at $9 for 6 cans. Great quality for excellent salmon burgers or on a salad. I always have it on hand. I saw yesterday that they had Kirkland canned Sockeye salmon. $14 for 4 cans.
Over the weekend I tried their lox for the first time (the one on the gold foil backing, w/ the lox all fanned out in a circular pattern). Now I've been eating lox my entire life but this stuff is like crack, it's the best lox I have ever tasted! It is sliced super thin, and has the best smoky flavor. I've only made two bagels w/ it so far and the package is already more than half gone. I will never buy lox anywhere else ever again.
re: mdepsmom
The Costco brand smoked salmon is an incredibly good buy. We just eat it right out of the package.
re: mdepsmom
We bought a package of lox that was circles spread out in rows- plain, dill crusted, and pepper crusted. Delicious and the package was 10oz so it was the perfect amount.
One of my regular buys at Costco is the huge 5 lb. bag (I think it's 5 - might be more) of Maine frozen wild blueberries for about $9. It's perfect for smoothies when I run out of fresh fruit. I have a small freezer, but I make sure there is enough space for these!
re: pdxgastro
If it's the stuff in the black wrapper, we have it in Michigan as well.
A mixed blessing...I love the stuff but it used to be one of the "unique" PNW products we always brought back when we visited, along with Starbucks coffee :)
Our Must Gets:
-butternut squash ravioli (refrigerated section) - seasonal
-chicken apple sausages (refrigerated section)
-chicken noodle soup (from their rotisserie chickens)
-various cheeses
-english muffins (price can't be beat!)
-thai peanut sauce
-pumpkin soup (seasonal)
re: LuluTheMagnificent
Here is what Naked said in regard to the OJ.
Thank you for letting us know how much you enjoyed Naked Juice Orange Juice. We're afraid we're no longer making this product in 128 oz containers. I certainly appreciate how attached you have become to the product. Though we have no remaining supply to offer you, I'll let our marketing department know you'd like us to reintroduce that size.
There are many reasons why we may stop making a product, but it is usually because the product did not meet sales expectations. Store chains sometimes stop carrying slower-selling items to make room for new flavors or other products. When too many stores discontinue a product, it becomes difficult to continue making and selling the product.
We found a beautiful pound of chanterelles for the first time and had them for dinner with a piece of prime sirloin and a perfectly cooked sweet potato. Talk about a successful Costco dinner!
Haven't seen it in a few months but our Austin location had vacuum packed rotisserie chicken meat already deboned. About 2 lbs for $10. It was fantastic for numerous dishes. Wish it would make come back.
re: coney with everything
I did about the same, except I added Kirkland Bacon Bits...everything is better with bacon (apologies to my kosher friends.)
re: rcn44
Bacon...sounds good. How bad could that be (apologies, Ina!)
When I bought it, the cashier remarked that she didn't know Costco had mac/cheese...she looked like she was ready to buy it too!
Presumably it's a newish item; I try not to go to Costco too much. Otherwise I'll "save" myself right into bankruptcy!
re: coney with everything
i figure costco at $125-150 per hour.
re: Peachie
They now carry jars of sweet-hot peppers stuffed with goat cheese. Very, very yummy.
re: JungMann
I have mentioned them:) and I agree they are fantastic pork chops.
In the Costco in Reno a couple of days ago, they were sampling Portabello mushrooms stuffed with stuffing and topped with three good-sized shrimp. It was really good. The stuffing is like turkey dressing which was a surprise. We bought a package of two for $7.30. Will make a good dinner with a salad.
We're a two-person, vegetarian (L/O) household, but still get a lot out of our membership. I joined Costco originally because of CHEESE-- and that's still one of my main buys. Manchego, real Parm at the best price in town, that wonderful goat Gouda that comes and goes, etc. etc.! It seems Gruyere appears seasonally (fall/winter), and I generally stock up on that, as it keeps perfectly at the back of the cheese drawer-- ditto Emmenthaler. For fondue parties, I've sometimes use Jarlsberg as the base, and supplement w. the pricier Gruyere/Emmenthaler.
I also love the Costco "artisan" breads. The multi-grain is great, as is the roasted garlic (which seems to come and go).
If you like croutons in a salad, do this: allow a loaf of the rosemary olive oil bread to sit around for a few days, then cut it into 1/2" cubes, and toast at 350º or so until just browned. It can take a surprisingly long time, but it worth it to watch carefully-- ultimately you'll get a perfectly dry, super-crunchy, toasty little nugget of perfection! No need to use any oil or salt (and I love both!). They hold up wonderfully in a salad. When I see what people will spend on some of those airy, crumbly commercial croutons, it boggles my mind. These are CHEAP, and GREAT!
Their pork tenderloins taste porkier than most I've tried. And the Madeleines! We bought a giant pack on Thursday; today is Monday; I just ate the last 2 tonight. They were delicious!
re: mdepsmom
I'll have to check next time I go mdepsmom. Those sound yummy. At my Penna Costco I got a tuxedo chocolate mousse cake in the bakery dept. and two vials of vanilla beans in the spice dept.
Anyone try the ikura at costco? I saw this for about $9.99 and was intrigued. It was a light orange though and not bright bright red. Maybe that's because it was from farm raised?
re: cstr
This is a product they had in my area a few years ago......... if it's the same one. They were TERRIFIC! We owned a wine bar at the time and I used to serve them as small desserts. I wish I could remember the name of the company, but I think they were in the NY/NJ area. Unfortunately Costco.com says they're $29.99 now. I don't recall them being anywhere near that much before......... maybe these are larger?
re: Midlife
I thought I saw them at $14.99.
re: Heidi cooks and bakes
so glad i saw your post about the vanilla beans! i'll be stopping in to grab some at mine this week...
re: goodhealthgourmet
Glad you are going to get some. It's great that they come in two vials, they are also great for sharing! A very nice stocking stuffer!
New to me at Costco in Richmond, CA: grapeseed oil (product of various EU countries, packaged in California) -- a twin pack of 3-liter jugs (that is, a total of six liters) for $19.99. I was tempted but didn't buy it -- I think I'll check with my sister and see if she wants to share it with me.
Also, that Costco is featuring all kinds of fancy cheeses for the holidays at insanely good prices. If you see the La Tur for $5.69 buy it. You won't be sorry!
re: Ruth Lafler
I was looking at that too - what can grapeseed oil do that olive oil cannot? I'm not familiar with grapeseed oil use!
re: artemis
it has a milder/more neutral flavor and higher smoke point.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Right. Grapeseed oil is great for frying, and it won't add anything to the flavor profile of the dish (sometimes I don't want my food to taste of olive oil).
At this time of year they sell rack of pork, like beef but it's pork. I buy a couple at least. One I'll cut in half, the other leave whole. FoodSaver. They're great. We've been buying them for quite a few years.
re: c oliver
I just saw those at my local Costco this week and wasn't sure what to make of them as I've never seen them before. How do you prepare them? Are they to pork what bone in prime rib is to beef?
re: c oliver
Thanks for the tip. BTW, I ran across a thread from a couple of years ago where I convinced you to switch your dogfood from Beneful to Kirkland. How did that go?
re: Ruth Lafler
We're now using Nature's Domain, a premium dogfood carried only by Costco, though not a Kirkland brand. It's salmon and vegetables or turkey and vegetables with no grains.
re: c oliver
Excellent! Grain-free is even better, and Kelpie really likes salmon-based foods. How does your dog like it?
re: Ruth Lafler
They love it but they're not very discriminating. The salmon one actually has a bit of a scent, which I think is a good thing. A 40# bag is about $23 which is very good for a premium food IMO.
re: c oliver
Yup. I'm sure they like food that smells "good" just like we do! I'd buy it but it takes Kelpie forever to get through 40 pounds of food, and I like to rotate her foods so I usually buy food in smaller bags.
re: c oliver
Paula Deen was making one of those with stuffing on her show the other day... lots and lots and lots of butter!
re: c oliver
these are heavenly. i buy several to freeze and use throughout the year. i'm a fan of fresh, not frozen meats, but these are great even when frozen and defrosted. i roast them with a spice rub, on a bed of onions and sliced potatoes. so, so good!
re: chez cherie
I'm going to get one of these for my New Year's Day party, what temp to you pull it out at? I'm guessing 150 and allow carry over to get it to 160?
re: c oliver
There is an awesome recipe on Epicurious - herb brined prime rib of pork. I have made this several times now to rave reviews. I watched Costco for weeks waiting for these rib roasts to show up
re: mamueller
I have THREE in my freezer. No more room, dang it :)
Is that the epi title? We're doing one when the "girls" and their husbands come for dinner soon.
re: c oliver
I'm definitely buying some of these, how long do they usually keep in the freezer?
re: c oliver
I pull them at 145 and let them rest - perfect!
re: c oliver
Saw those yesterday but wanted to wait a week or so before buying. Hope I don't miss out! Thought about starting a holiday foods at Costco thread but think I'll just post here about the Brie en Brioche I snagged last night in the refrigerated food section. It is one pound 14 ounces and it is layered with caramel apples and cranberries by La Terra Fina and boy did it hit the spot. The ground is freezing early here in the North East and I was out picking out a place to plant my live tree later in the five seconds of daylight I had left after work. Knowing I had brie baking in the oven was a great comfort. The directions said to bake at three fifty for half an hour but when the cheese was still a bit cold in the center I just lopped off a slice and nuked it. Oh my gosh! Going for another slice now.
Just found yellow fin tuna packed in olive oil!!! It was a little less expensive than I find in the grocery store but it's sold in four can packs so I can keep it on hand. One of my favorite ways is the tuna with oil of course, cilantro, red onion, capers and a bit more olive oil. Sometimes I've added a little sherry vinegar. A great, easy to have on hand hors d'oeuvre.
costco sells really good flatbreads at the ones here. they are whole grain, flavorful, and stay soft and chewy for a really long time!!
Since both stores are within 5 minutes from my home (LUCKY me!), I am more of a fan of BJ's but there are things that I make a special trip to Costco for. The ones that come to mind right now are:
White flesh peaches (OMG, are they good)! I know I purchased more than a dozen cases last season. And the season is long, starting somewhere around May or June and lasting until OCTOBER! I did notice the last case I bought in October wasn't as good as the earlier ones. And I remember one case bought in mid-season that just wasn't up to par. But, other than that, they are to DIE for. The only downside is that they keep my kitchen warm all summer baking those delicious peach pies! I care for my Mom, who is 89 years old, and she had one for breakfast every day. I also can eat them up in no time. The only one who doesn't benefit from them is my husband, who insists he doesn't like peaches--I can't imagine anyone not LOVING peaches--I can't wait until they have them again!
The boneless short ribs. I cut them up and use them to make beef stew--much more tender than the regular stew meat (and, of course, more expensive) but there is very little waste.
I see some posters mentioned that the beef rib roast was only available around the holidays, but my Costco (Nesconset, NY) carries it year round and I take advantage of that. It is very good and I already cooked one on my barbeque in the summertime for 4th of July (DELICIOUS)!
Pumpkin pie. They don't always have it but when they do, I make sure I get at least one. Excellent price for a delicious, large pie. I find their other pies to be "chancy", sometimes they're great, other times not.
Leg of lamb. Very good (not marinated or seasoned) but I don't buy it often because lamb is not popular in my house with anyone but me.
The fish I buy (flounder, cod, and scallops) are also excellent.
The rotisserie chickens. When I'm in a pinch for time, I pick one up along with some prepared mashed potatoes and add a vegetable. It makes a great, inexpensive meal and I save the carcass for soup with my FoodSaver (which I also purchased at Costco) and keep it in the freezer until I need it.
The Yukon Gold prepared mashed potatoes. They are the best prepared mashed potatoes I have ever tried, including Country Crock.
The frozen Organic Whole Green Beans, tender and delicious.
Red Velvet mini cakes with cream cheese frosting. Each one is a delicious mouthful.
Kirkland Solid White Albacore Tuna In Water. Better than any of the leading brands (Bumble Bee, Chicken of The Sea).
There are some non-food (but food-related) items worth mentioning:
Kirkland paper towels. They are strong and each sheet is a nice, large size.
The Rubbermaid Premier set. They are so much better than the regular Rubbermaid and a great price. The downside on them is that I feel I have to use a brush to clean the lids properly because they have deep ridges around the edge.
The Kirkland Cast Iron Enameled Dutch Oven. I actually wound up buying the Le Creuset ones--I have several as I discovered that I LOVE cooking in cast iron--for myself (at my husband's urging) but I bought the Kirkland Dutch Oven for my neighbor for an anniversary gift along with supplies to make no knead bread and she was thrilled. I think I would have been very satisfied with this oven had my husband not insisted on the Le Creuset. Just a note to anyone interested--they just reduced the price by $10.00 to just around $40.00, a very good buy, especially considering I just paid $150.00 (for a "second") for one that is a little smaller, because it is Le Creuset and made in France.
The FoodSaver is great and the price is fair.
The Kirkland Stainless Steel pots. I, unfortunately, purchased them when they changed their manufacturer to Thailand, instead of Italy. However, I have experienced no problems and I'm very pleased with them so far. I find the only downside with them is that it is a "pain" to polish the copper band around the bottom each time I use them. It looks nicer than all stainless but I would rather have less work. And they have to be polished each and every time, as the heat turns the copper dark. I use Bar Keeper's Friend for the stainless and Wright's Copper Cream for the copper.
Stretch-Tite Plastic Wrap. This is the best plastic wrap I have ever purchased and a very good price.
The Perfect Touch hot cups. I will definitely go out of my way for these.
Well, I guess that's it for now. If I come up with anything else, I will post again! Genie

Govt control? Hah! It's IMPOSSIBLE to have a successful command economy
Re: @ TedF
The western world's capitalist system is steadily increasing the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots'. My comment was a simple reductio ad absurdem argument. You though, seem to be one of the believers who will chant "There is no alternative!" as the world slides down the crapper..
The real problem seems to be that Global Capitalism will end with a few Trillionaires and everyone else crawling around in the mud convincing themselves that "there is no alternative!"

Cravings is proud of being a neighbourhood gathering place. We have changed a lot since 1991. Some may remember our first years as a soup and sandwich spot or a jungle diner. Since then we have come a long way! We have conducted numerous renovations and upgrades to remain up-to-date and relevant to our changing community.

- CravingOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 11/16/2014I crave for Cravings. Sunday night may not be the best time with a low turnout resulting in the staff sitting down with their friends and thereby not providing the best service (I am still waiting for my tea!) The food is superb, presented very well, and could not be better. Pricing is very fair and all in all this is a great treasure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 11/14/2014We tried the artichoke dip, the steak, the lamb and also the salmon. Delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average restaurantFoodloverDined on 11/9/2014Went with wife for Sunday brunch @11:30-only couple in the restaurant for first twenty minutes. Lady at reception was non smiling and had to wait five minutes before she came to take order. The next server was much better - with smile and she came every five minutes to check on us. Brunch was acceptable - My wife had meat lover with coffee and me Cravings breakfast with coffee - for bill of total $30 tips included. By the time we finished forty minutes later - the restaurant started to fill up with another fifteen customers. Restaurant with its own parking lot of fifteen spaces was part of Coast Vancouver Airport Hotel on SW marine drive. Will rate 31/2 stars because of slow reception and order taking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Dinner before going to Orpheum VanUNOgalsDined on 10/8/2014We were a party of six & had a round table, which made it nice for conversation. Service was good as well as the food. Two had the 3 course menu with a little change, & we all enjoyed our meals. Bourbon Chicken,& Stir fry were both delious. Nice to have dinner before going to the busy downtown area. Parking stalls a little narrow but, lots of street parking if needed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday LunchluncheesDined on 10/2/2014two friends and I went to Cravings for a luncheon celebration for a birthday. Cravings had been well known to us from earlier days. We were all really peasantly surprised by the food, the abience and the quiet (which made it great for conversation). We will be back.Special Features:
- Neighbourhood gem in MarpoleOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/19/2014We ordered from the two special menus of the day. The garden salad and the Caesar salad were both excellent; the stuffed pepper and the spicy prawn pasta were pretty good; my mini white chocolate torte was delicious (though more micro than mini); and my husband's ice cream sandwich was definitely large enough to share. Service was good. Access from the south on Osler Street was blocked because of construction nearby, so it might be best to check before you go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- oustanding value in marpoleDWSoulDined on 1/17/2014Have been to this restaurant several times. Never disappoints. Always pleases. The three course menu choices well priced with lots of choice. Yummy deserts included? Smaller portions great for kids and seniors. Don't drive downtown. Dine locally. Less stress. Less cost.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood Crowd but not specialmckmomDined on 1/17/2014Great pork chop and white chocolate creme brule, and service was great, but atmosphere was odd. Was sat right next to loud couple even though there were many tables available. Decor was mid 80s and lighting was a bit harsh. By the time we finished there were lots of customers which was good for a January evening. Must be a local go-to place. Was OK. Probably wouldn't rush back, but would recommend for locals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently goodPickingPalDined on 1/16/2014I have been here 3 times in the past month with friends and business acquaintances. The food and service had been good on all occasions. I enjoy the quiet ambiance for visiting with friends- background music is pleasant and at an appropriate level for dining. Recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet meeting place for friendsPickingPalDined on 1/11/2014Low level music and quiet diners was great for visiting with friends. Food was good and orders came quickly. We were not disturbed and allowed to talk after most patrons had left. Have booked again for this week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice touch!puddingDined on 1/5/2014We had a very good relaxing time cerebrating Mom's birthday. They brought a dessert with a beautiful rose and with BD writing. Very nice touch!! Good service!!Special Features:

- Excellent service, food just okaysweetcmcVIPDined on 11/28/2013My friend and I recently dined at Cravings Restaurant for dinner on a Thursday evening. I have been to Cravings several times, and I still like it and would definitely go back. The service and atmosphere are great and menu prices are very reasonable. I started my meal with their spicy chicken soup and it tasted good. However, I ordered the chicken and fig linguine and the flavour was a little.. dry. The goat cheese was too strong and the pasta was a bit on the dry said. With that said, I would still give it a 3.5/5. Dessert was good; I had the white chocolate torte although it was a bit too sweet. Cravings is a great place for casual and special dining. I will definitely go back!Special Features:
- Been to Craving few times.linbertDined on 11/17/2013Been to Craving few times. It was always good service & food. But this time the Chicken was dry & tough. The Tuna has a fishy taste all the vegetables were tough and stringy . Not crazy about the barley instead of potato or rice.
- Consistently great!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 11/15/2013Cravings continues to provide a very good menu and wine list. The food is consistently great, the servings are generous, and the service is top-notch. It is comforting to know that this restaurant continues to thrive in this small corner of Marpole! We split a salad which seemed to be two full salads when they arrived! Followed by the stuffed peppers and chicken/with barley and vegetables. Very tasty and perfectly cooked. We were there for a small, quiet birthday celebration. The Cravings server made it special by presenting a rose with dessert to the guest of honour. What a nice touch! Downtown restaurants could take a lesson from this restaurant in how to provide great food, service and ambience...! Can't wait to go back. And soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible Service but good foodFineDinerDined on 10/30/2013I must say, the chefs here are amazing. The food is spectacular, but the serving staff are absolutely horrible. We were sitting there for 2.5 hours over a simple dinner trying to flag the 2 staff down so that we could finally order, or to tell them to take our empty plate away but they were completely avoiding eye contact and refusing to look our way. On top of that, they never came to fill up our empty water glasses once. The worst part was it wasn't even busy there!! Talked to friends about our experience and they agreed and said their servers wasted their time as well and they were not going back. I agree - Would not go there again. Would also never recommend this place to anyone unless they want to waste their entire evening.
- Great choice before Metro TheatreOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/17/2013My garden salad, Sicilian linguine and mini brownie dessert were all very good, and excellent value as a 3-course dinner. My husband enjoyed his beet salad, stuffed pepper and lemon meringue pie, also as a 3-course dinner, but I think I got a better bang for the buck. Cravings is a great place to go before a show at the Metro Theatre, another under-rated neighbourhood gem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A diamond in the roughDKTFDined on 9/28/2013Cravings restaurant is not the most noticeable restaurant as it's well-hidden in the marpole neighbourhood. However, don't let that affect you from searching for it. All of their dishes are a fusion between comfort food and pizazz. The service I've received every time I attend has been top notch and they serve every dish with an incredible smile. It's a shame that they can't expand because I'd love to see more restaurants with quality service aroundSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disapointedcocoDined on 6/16/2013food was cold and bad choice for fathers day brunvh place badly needs to update , smell like moldy
- Food was OKFood2dieforDined on 6/16/2013We took my father to Cravings for Father's Day. It was a great option for a restaurant in Marpole. Food was ok as it was well priced and tasted good. I had the seared Abercore Tuna sandwich. Problem was the tuna was not Abercore and it was not seared. I felt that the meal in general was not that fresh. The restaurant itself is due for a renovation, saying that though I would go again. None of the issues were enough to turn me off... Just below average to what the competition is in the city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/12/2013Visited the restaurant for Mother's Day, and the server gave my mom a red rose which made my mom VERY happy! Great service and the food is pretty good, especially their fish and chips.Special Features:

- I love this placeOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 3/1/2013Great location with parking, outstanding friendly staff and the home-like tasting food make me come back to Cravings every few weeks.Special Features:
- Tasty food, service a bit slowOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/22/2012We were passing through Vancouver and pioked this restaurant based on location and recommendations from this site. It was an enjoyable meal; the food was tasty and the staff friendly. The biggest negative I had was that, despite the fact the server was very friendly, even though the restaurant was less than half-full, the service was somewhat slow. We felt like we were waiting long stretches for the next course. My daughter and I both got the 3 courses for $26 special...which I felt like was a good not great deal. For a main course, I got the pork, she got the chicken. Both came in appropriate-sized portions and had good flavor. I did feel like the dessert portions were small.Special Features:
- Always great food. Meat lasagnaOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 12/21/2012Always great food. Meat lasagna and the stir fry are favorites.Special Features:
- space and privacyOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 12/15/2012We chose this place because it was close to the airport. Upon arriving we encountered a lot of seniors in the restaurant so decided to eat on the lounge side which offered us another option, privacy and more room. The ambiance was a bit too bright, almost cafeteria like but at least we could see what we were eating. Food was fine for the price and the service was really good. It would be a good place for a large group that wanted to have space and privacy but not have to spend a fortune to get it.Special Features:
- so-so foodOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 12/7/2012my mussels entree came out cold the food is mediocre

- I found the food excellentOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/23/2012I found the food excellent and good value. I would go back for brunch to try it now that I had such a good lunch experience.Special Features:
- Good valuecrossoverVIPDined on 10/7/2012The restaurant has two set menus: $15 for three courses or $26 also for three courses (but with more entree selection). Overall the food is decent, especially considering the price you pay. Service was friendly. Wine selection was very limited. It was a pleasant experience but not exciting enough to bring me back again.Special Features:
- Worth trying.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/7/2012Was delighted with the restaurant. Excellent food, very competitive pricing. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We weren't attended to very quickly upon arriving but think that was due to a wedding reception held in another room. After this small glitch everything was perfect. They are located in a very unexpected location in a semi-residential, semi-office area but definitely worth seeking out. There is ample parking.Special Features:
- Great Gluten-Free FareOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/26/2012My wife and I ate off the gluten-free (Celiac) menu and ordered two sandwiches with Artisan salads. They were delicious and well-plated. Altogether, we enjoyed our second visit here as much as our first and will definitely be coming again!Special Features:
- The brunch was awesome, veryOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/18/2012The brunch was awesome, very delicious. The atmosphere is outstanding and romantic.Special Features:
- Finally!!! BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/5/2012Well I've done it! I've had all three meals at Cravings. The Brunch was, as expected, yummy! There isn't a celiac menu for Brunch but they have rice bread and so can make lots of the Brunch menu Gluten free. It was a hard decision but I finally picked the Brie and Apple omelette. I automatically said no toast but the server remembered me eating the sandwiches there so included it with my omelette. I could have had French Toast or a Benny. Lots to choose from and the service was excellent. I will continue coming here as long as it's here. Now that I'm moving I'll just have to drive here. If you live around Osler and 72nd Ave. it's just a lovely walk with a delicious meal at the end,Special Features:
- Cravings is the nicest thingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/3/2012Cravings is the nicest thing abut living in Marpole. You just walk out the door and down the street. I think I'll try Brunch tomorrow as it is the only meal I haven't eaten there many times. Everything is so delicious that I'm sure Brunch will be a treat. Better have a reservation as it is always busy! The staff are always pleasant, though. Now I can't wait for tomorrow and a new treat from Cravings.Special Features:
- Can't be beatOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/2/2012Cravings restaurant continues to provide this little corner of Marpole with high quality, reasonably priced food selections which can be known to cause the top button on many peoples' pants to be undone when leaving. The 14.99 menu and the 25.95 menu are filled with many excellent choices of one appetizer, one entree and one dessert. The restaurant is especially busy on weekend nights as many long time customers come back for their favourite dishes.The Canadian pork chop and the stuffed meatballs are two excellent examples. Everyone I have brought here has requested we return so now I will become a long time customer.Special Features:
- Enjoyed my first dining experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/23/2012Enjoyed my first dining experience at the Cravings. Made another reservation for this month.Special Features:

Hi girls,
I need some input please.
I do cardio twice a day about 2 hrs per day (1000 cals burnt) and about 30 mins weights.
In the morning I feel really tired when I do my cardio. At night I have more energy than I do in the morning.
My question is do you also feel sluggish during your workouts BUT deep down you know you can give more its just that your brain is tired and your body wants to work out harder... The two just don't match...
What kind of energy drinks do you drink to give you that extra boost? DO you switch drinks after a while bc your body gets used to them?
For one week I drank Max Velocity and I had the best workouts ever. Amazing. But now my body is used to is and I am back to being tired. ((
Last year I was 115 lbs now I am 160 lbs now because I got very sick. I want to lose 45 pounds and this tiredness impedes my progress.

GroupThe San Francisco based Zip Records story is relatively simple. Our pitch is safe adventure; our name suggests a jolt and the artists on the label provide the kicks. Each release by the label, beginning with the first one in 1998, has hopefully been representative of its genre and every title definitely has been a labor of love by the artists. With releases by artists from Australia, Sweden, the U.S., U.K., Netherlands and many more world locations, the music is defined by accessibility and "independence". Consisting primarily of pop and rock artists, Zip Records plays it somewhat safe, preferring artists with sparks of creativity and a sense of melody and style that will offend no one and please those who come into contact with the music. The thread which ties together the label's releases may not be that apparent at first glance, but at least from the vantage point of Zip Records, each title has a sense of place – geographically as well as musically. In the beginning, much of the music came from Sweden (Dorian gray, The Merrymakers, Pineforest Crunch, Safari Season, etc), Australia (The Chevelles, P76, Pearson, The Wellingtons, etc) and the U.K. (thirst, Red Letter Day, Killing for Culture, etc). This covered the years from 1998 to 2004. From 2004 to the present, with the odd band from Serbia and Italy, Zip Records expanded to include more artists from the U.S. (Smash Palace, Ed Rogers, Mary Lees Corvette, Wanderlust, etc) and more recently allied itself with a Dutch label to release and promote Birgit (Schuurman) , Kensington, a balladeer, Jelka van Houten, Samuel Wilson, etc. With distribution through MRI/SONY in the U.S. and Rough Trade in the Benelux countries, Zip Records remains a small label with an eclectic roster of guitar pop, singer/songwriter, punk, hard rock, hip hop and even jazz improvisations by Defunkt trombonist Joe Bowie and Ernst Glerum (due in the fall of 2013)!Site Wide Tags: Pop Rock Singer-Songwriter
