How do those flannel lined jeans fit? I wear a 34x30 LLBean

Not sure. Not willing to risk that one...

Right now in the cheese drawer I have Stilton, Manchego, sharp cheddar, Gruyere, pepper jack, some cranberry cheese stuff, and a couple random bits of other stuff I got for Xmas.

Shut the up.

Iceman don't ski in no flannel lined jeans. Wusses.

[skaredshtles]

Shut the up.

Oh - there's also Pecorino Romano and Parmigiano Reggiano but that stuff is on the "use it every day" shelf.

[Thaleia]

What are you using the pecorino so frequently with? Love that stuff but outside of a cheese board or charcuterie tray I have no idea what to do with it.

I use it for carbonara, cacio e pepe, and Amatriciana primarily, but will also use it like parmesan to top various pasta sauces.

And it lasts forever, which helps. 'Cause the Costco chunks are pretty big.

Wearing their light long johns now. Great products.

Agreed

Agreed. Those large wedges last a long time.
I also shred on salad and veggies.

The self checkout is state of the art with digital payment. So fast and easy for a quick pickup.

I'm sure Costco's 32 Degrees line has been mentioned before. I think it's pretty damn good for the price.

Yes it is

Fuck. I pretty much have to quit cheese. It's what keeps me fat. Stilton blue is my favorite cheese. I've been losing weight, which means I've cut down on the cheese. But it really has to go. Is life without cheese really a life? It's like alcohol for an alcoholic.

Best thing about eating low carb: I eat as much cheese as I want. Cheese every day.

Its about calories in and calories out. 300 Calories for a "serving" is no bueno if that serving is only an ounce and I'm on a 2300 cal budget. Cheese is so wicked calorie dense and I can eat 10 or 20 servings in a sitting without thinking about. Good cheese is like freebase. Moar is better.

A little big in the waist, a little short in the length. I bought my size and I’m not planning on swapping them out.

Thanks. I really need to up my cheese game.

I'd love to find some 300 cal/oz cheese...Fritos are 140cal/oz, one of the more calorie-dense things you can carry in a backpack.

It's hard af to get 4000 calories out of 2lbs of food/day on the trail. $70 of GU products might do for a race or an overnight climb, but....

Ok, there was a little bit of exaggeration involved. And I used serving to mean two different things. I think we can agree that good cheeses are calorie dense given that a "serving" refers to the amount you actually want to eat (volume instead of weight) which is easily more than one ounce. One ounce of Cabot 3 year super duper extra mega sharp cheddar (the black wrapper from Costco) is around 110 (using MyFitnessPal tracker as I don't have the label handy) calories. However, that's barely enough for two normal crackers. And not really enough for a sandwich. Three ounces is really about a serving for me. I could easily eat three, three ounce servings of just that Cabot in a sitting. And then add multiple sittings a day. I've cut way back. I probably eat an average of two ounces a day, which is torture. Did I mention I have a problem? I've considered quitting entirely. If I was an alcoholic, I'd have to quit alcohol so what's the difference?

[Danno]

3 ounces is a really healthy amount of cheese!

FTR, while it is calories in calories out, going low carb has allowed me to eat as much cheese as I want, I naturally stop at a reasonable serving.

[jmedslc]

Mmmm cheese. I’ll check in as a cheese enthusiast as well. I’ve quit drinking beer and booze so those calories are gone but my current “problem” is that my SO is YUGE into sourdough bread at the moment. So good but gotta limit intake

A touch on the cowboy side of fit tightness...waist and length are accurate. Are we talking the Weatherproof ones that come in brown and black? I actually love them for up here in northern MN. Wish they had a little key pocket for the Honda fob though. I feel like Johnny Cash Goes North in my black pants and black puffy jacket.

This thread is about Costco. And Costco sells a whole bunch of cheese that you can put on that sourdough!
