I believe in the store it’s around $10/lb currently for frozen filets.
They also have very reasonably priced canned wild Alaskan salmon that we use instead of tuna for sandwiches, etc.
Alaskan salmon is one of the few really sustainably managed wild fisheries out there.
Sounds like it might be worth us checking out getting a membership again
I pay for my membership just in cheese alone
Any not too-labor intensive way to cook (we usually throw them in a skillet to crisp them up a bit) store-bought flour tortillas for a large group of folks or just easier to use them as-is?
I’ve been known to warm a stack of 4-5 in the microwave for a few seconds (start with 10). They’re better warm.
Wrap them in a damp but not wet paper towel and microwave them.
Wrap the whole bundle in tinfoil and oven warm.
Should I buy the house?
Yes.
I know no details, but if you’re considering it, then probably. You tend to have a very good eye for deals and such for this sort of thing.
Does anyone have book/author recs that are not sci-fi? I read a ton, but lately I feel like it’s all the same story with different character names, you know? Something different would be nice.
Hmm. Does fantasy count? 
If you want something a little different, there’s always Madeline Miller’s work (mytho-historical novels; Circe if you want a good feminist ride, Song of Achilles if you too think Patroclus and Achilles were clearly lovers).
For a long but interesting Gothic mystery: The Woman in White, Wilkie Collins
I really enjoy the Best American Essays series, and am looking forward to the 2019 edition.
Do you want more non-fiction recs? I can definitely pull some delicious stuff off my shelves later…
Yes! I tend to read literary fiction. Here were my favorite books that I read this year (not necessarily released this year) with their Goodreads descriptions:
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.
On a small farm in Normandy, as Hitler rises to power in Germany, young Ludo comes of age in the care of his Uncle Ambrose, an eccentric mailman, kite-maker, and pacifist. Ludo’s quiet existence changes the day he meets Lila, a girl from the aristocratic Polish family who own the estate next door. In a single glance, Ludo instantly falls in love forever; Lila, on the other hand, remains elusive. Thus begins Ludo’s adventure of longing, passion, and steadfast love for Lila, who begins to reciprocate his feelings just as Europe descends into war. After Germany invades Poland, Lila and her family disappear, and Ludo’s journey to save her from the Nazis becomes a journey to save his loved ones, his country, and ultimately himself.
In the final days of December 2004, in a small rural village in Chechnya, eight-year-old Havaa hides in the woods when her father is abducted by Russian forces. Fearing for her life, she flees with their neighbor Akhmed - a failed physician - to the bombed-out hospital, where Sonja, the one remaining doctor, treats a steady stream of wounded rebels and refugees and mourns her missing sister. Over the course of five dramatic days, Akhmed and Sonja reach back into their pasts to unravel the intricate mystery of coincidence, betrayal, and forgiveness that unexpectedly binds them and decides their fate.
Hansen arrived in Istanbul with romantic ideas about a mythical city perched between East and West, and with a naïve sense of the Islamic world beyond. Over the course of her many years of living in Turkey and traveling in Greece, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran, she learned a great deal about these countries and their cultures and histories and politics. But the greatest, most unsettling surprise would be what she learned about her own country—and herself, an American abroad in the era of American decline. It would take leaving her home to discover what she came to think of as the two Americas: the country and its people, and the experience of American power around the world. She came to understand that anti-Americanism is not a violent pathology. It is, Hansen writes, “a broken heart . . . A one-hundred-year-old relationship.”
Trick Mirror is an enlightening, unforgettable trip through the river of self-delusion that surges just beneath the surface of our lives. This is a book about the incentives that shape us, and about how hard it is to see ourselves clearly in a culture that revolves around the self. In each essay, Tolentino writes about a cultural prism: the rise of the nightmare social Internet; the American scammer as millennial hero; the literary heroine’s journey from brave to blank to bitter; the mandate that everything, including our bodies, should always be getting more efficient and beautiful until we die. Gleaming with Tolentino’s sense of humor and capacity to elucidate the impossibly complex in an instant, and marked by her desire to treat the reader with profound honesty, Trick Mirror is an instant classic of the worst decade yet.
Geraldine Brooks is a great read, historical fiction. “The People of the Book” and “the Year of Wonders” are the two I’ve read and I enjoyed them both a ton.
Mary Roach has really fun nonfiction reads. “Bonk” and “Stiff” are the ones I remember reading but it’s been a while.
Thanks!
I would probably put fantasy in with sci-fi, but wouldn’t really know until I looked titles up and read a bit about them…
ETA: I got The Woman in White on Kindle, and put Circe in my wish list at my library for later. I will look the others up later. 
Oh yeah, Stiff was amazing.
What should I do if I bought my FIL a frame with four pictures in it from my wedding and one picture has all his kids in it but also his ex-gf, who, until three minutes ago, I thought was his current gf and he just didn’t tell us they broke up a bit ago? This is for Christmas, and I made it on Shutterfly so not super easy to just fix.
ETA: I would only get 50% back if I returned it and I can’t get to the pictures through the back of the frame without ripping off the back including the wire that the frame will hang from.
One for the Aussies - where do I buy ethically made, cotton (or other equivalent material) t-shirts?
I’d rather not pay a bazillion dollars per shirt.
I’m trying to break up with fast fashion - but damn it is hard when I usually by $5 shirts from K-Mart.
