Today's WTF?

I went to Costco and searched the aisles for Claritin-D. None there. Not even a slot. I then see the sign "Due to Federal Regulations, the following drugs are now in the pharmacy" Fuck. Needless to say, Claritin-D was on the list.

I go to the pharmacy and ask for my drugs. There's a form to fill out. Not only do they ask for my drivers license but they want me to sign the bloody thing as well, agreeing that I'm not going to use it to make illegal drugs. And then to top it off, I had to pay for it right then and there. What the fuck is up with that?

If they are going to make such a big hassle out of getting a decongestant, they should make the damn thing under a prescription again. At least at that point, I could get a frickin' 90 day supply without being hassled and for my $10.00 co-pay. Sheesh!

Okay now this is cool!

I picked this up from costco today for $20.00. Now I'm a big fan of Cook's Illustrated and I love to watch ATK. But being its a magazine, even bound, the format sucks. Its a pain in the ass to find a recipe that you want. And I haven't been too impressed with the two books they released for the show. As they were just rebinding in a new order, articles from the magazine. This version is a big improvement.

All the leading articles to the recipes are gone (Now don't get me wrong I love reading those, but sometimes all I want is the recipe.) And all the recipes are organized by type (i.e. all the cookie recipes together, all the bread, etc) With an index on each divider, making it extremely simple to find the freaking recipe you wanted. Yea! Finally a user friendly copy to ATK
