Looks like this is the busiest day at Costco. I wonder why, then I realized it's the 30th day of the month and people would rather shop at Costco for better (wholesale) deals. Great isn't it? We purchased chunks of meat, poultry, dozens of eggs, toilet tissues and paper towels and kitchen supplies from Costco for our monthly supply, sometimes twice a month we have to return again because of other miscellaneous products that we need for the house. So what else is new there? Oh, their snack bar has that cheap long hotdog for just $1.50 with free pop of your choice (Brisk, Mountain Dew, Pepsi, or crush). I was shocked of its price! Big deal!!!!!!! My husband can't believe it either. French fries with gravy is worth $2.49, would you believe that? Juicy, delicious hotdog in a bun is cheaper than french fries?!!!!!! How wonderful! Would it be nice if Costco will also sell asian products such as: springroll wrappers, wonton wrappers, farkay noodles, vermicelli (angel hair noodles), cassava, saba' (the fat cooking banana), tofu, seaweeds for sushi rolls, sticky sushi rice, coconut milk for cooking (not the coco drinks) and vinegar.
The weather is absolutely gorgeous, sunny bright and cold. The mountain ranges have snowy alps and wide array of white clouds touching its peak. Hundreds of beautiful white swans gathered and flocked together on the verdant field of grass along Black Creek. There's no sight of sheep nor cows, just few horses grazing at the farmlands. The rural view of the Black Creek area has smitten my spirit and to compare the urban area with all the skyscrapers and traffic congestion brought on by modern urbanization, one can simply choose the rural life because of its peaceful, laid back atmosphere.
Along the highway, while my husband drives our vehicle, he asked me about the movie (Jack Reacher starring: Tom Cruise and Rosamund Pike) we watched last night. Since I was not able to watch the beginning of the movie I was not able to know what really happened and who was the sniper. So, this is the gist of that movie as I understand it. A sniper killed five innocent victims at random while they were at the park, at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Tom (Jack) was hired by the woman lawyer (Rosamund) who handled the case. Jack was an ex-Army who is an expert in guns and other weapons and martial arts. Bloopers? It's kind of weird that there's a part in the movie when Jack was hit with a metal pipe on his head and still was able to fight back. It is a mystery whether Jack has super power like superman or was he a robot in this movie? The young woman in this movie was hit with a fist (hand blow) on the head by the villain and died right instantly. The funny scene here, the lawyer thought Jack was hitting on her. lol. Then Jack thought the young woman at the bar was a hooker hitting on him but actually she has a decent job. It's the wrong approach that made it unclear for everyone in this puzzling movie. At the end of that movie you'll find out who the real sniper is.
The waves along the beach is a bit higher and continuously waves back and forth faster and faster than the usual normal rhythm. It's windy and the air is fresh not suffocating. Well, it's winter. The smell of awful foul seaweeds, and decaying matter of shellfish, dead ospreys and seagulls sometimes brought foul odor during summer time, not at winter time so it's joyous to say the least at this point in time.
It's nice to get out once in a while and breathe fresh air.
Sizzling hot beef steak, steamed rice, fried potatoes, steamed asparagus with mayo, grilled sauteed mushrooms for dinner! Great! My husband is the masterchef for tonight!!
