Sorry, threw out the box. I think the brand is Trident. They also have Tilapia but the Cod is way better! Big score from tonight... $100 Schwartz Brothers Gift Cards on sale for $63.99! Good at Daniel's Broiler, Chandler's Crabhouse and Spazzo. Hurry, ends tomorrow (Feb 4)! I bought 5 figuring I could always return them. Also picked up a Samsung Galaxy Tab for under $400. This was for a gift (I'm not a big fan of tablets) but if you're in the market this thing kicks some ipad butt.

AAAAGGGGH! It's too late!! Sorry I missed those Daniel's cards.

The dried coconut makes for a nice snack. 14g of fiber per serving too.

Oh boy. They are opening a new store in Ann Arbor, Michigan for me this summer. The products mentioned in this thread really sound good. I'll just print it and use it as a shopping list.

The Actifry is currently discounted in store to ~$150. We've had ours since Christmas. Not as easy as they portray to make french fries (need to cut, wash, and dry which is tedious) but a healthy alternative if you like french fries. We leave the skins on and they still crisp up. Amazon reviewers highlight durability issues which is a good reason to buy at Costco. http://www.amazon.com/T-Fal-FZ7000002-Actifry-Low-Fat-Multi-Cooker/dp/B002S4MVEE

Yep, cooking food from scratch takes a bit longer.

Today's sample: Panko Breaded Chicken Breast Tenderloins topped with Greek Probiotic Yogurt Jalepono Dip Let's just say both made it into my shopping cart and are being consumed for dinner.

[Tom]

Have to give another shout out for the Greek Yogurt Dip. Awesome for chip dipping and not loaded with fat or calories.

[mike]

Greek yogurt is loaded with fat and calories by definition.

[Tom]

Really depends on what dip you're comparing to. A 2 tbsp serving has only 50 calories and 3.5 grams of fat. You can probably do better with salsa, but compared to a cheese or sour cream based dip you're probably going to be better off with a yogurt dip, even greek.

Costco on Aurora has $30 carbon fiber trekking poles. With regular and snow baskets, and two kinds of rubber tips. No idea if they're any good or not. I'm content with my current set.

The Wentachee Costco has a box of ten MountainHouse freeze dried two person meals for 42.00. That's 4.00 per meal which is almost half price. My cousin was there and saw them. He's picking one up for me.

I saw the boxes of the Mountain House meals at the Kirkland Costco the other week.

The poles are 3 sections, look pretty nice, but unfortunately, have the typical problems associated with twist lock poles -- they'll collapse or pull out if too much stress is put on the joint. I used a pair for a day going up and down Mt. Rose over in the Olympics. Both poles had problems with the bottom section pulling out of the top of the pole when planted in heavy snow. And the snow cups on both poles ended up broken and stuck up on the pole at the end of the day. They went back to Costco.
