Qrunch Spicy Italian Quinoa Burgers

I don't visit the healthy section of the supermarket to be healthier. That's just an added bonus. I like food and go there to find interesting and new foods. That's where I found these Spicy Italian Quinoa Burgers in Wegman's.

Originally price is what held me back. They're actually not that expensive, under $5 if I remember correctly. I mean, I like Quinoa. I like Hot Italian Sausage. But, what if I didn't like them?

A week or two ago I finally bought them and am happy to say I love them so much. The flavor is spot on. Kind of tastes a little like Italian Sausage. I like hot foods and this had a good amount of heat without being too heated... so they'll be good for most people.

You can fry them in a pan, bake them in an oven or toaster oven, or you can send them through a few cycles in a regular toaster! Microwave not recommended. I did a quick fry of mine in a pan with a little oil. They came out nice and crispy and held their shape without falling apart.

So far I tried them plain, with a little ketchup, and one time I made a side of home fries with hollandaise sauce. The sauce was amazing. The lemon was very nice with the spicy Quinoa Burgers.

You can see a picture of my dinner here:

The hollandaise sauce I made in a cream whipper, which uses cartridges similar to what you'd find to shoot BB's out of a BB Gun. The air and sauce mix together and make it very light and fluffy.

Anyway, I think I'm going to keep buying the Spicy Italian I like them so much, unless I decide to make some sort of topping then I'll try Original flavor. I don't think the Wegman's by me carries original anyway, but maybe Whole Foods.

KABANG Energy Candy

These things were an impulse buy at the counter. They were 59 cents each. They come in Apple, Cherry, Watermelon, and Grape. I had Cherry (and later Apple) and a co-worker had Watermelon (and later another co-worker Grape). They contain 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamins B6, B12, and C, plus Ginseng. They're only 3 grams of sugar, 15 calories, 5 carbs, and no caffeine.

The outer coating kind of tastes like a flavored energy drink. I don't really like energy drinks to begin with, but this wasn't as bad as some of those drinks taste. Once you get to the center your tongue starts to tingle. It has sodium bicarbonate in it. At first, I loved the center and it was kind of neat to have my tongue tingle, because it was unexpected, but then I got massive heartburn. That's why I don't drink soda and why I won't eat these candies again.

I don't know if it's how they're made, but the apple one I had later had a stronger inside. It actually tasted like my tongue was on fire and I spit it out. My co-worker enjoyed her Watermelon, while the other person didn't like Grape. She liked the outer coating, but once she got to the middle she spit it out. She said it tasted like a sour candy.

Can I say this gave me energy? Nope. I was still at work yawning afterwards.

Life Recovery Wellness - Time Recovery Protein Mix

I bought some Time Released Protein mix the other day from Life Recovery Wellness. Their protein powder comes in 6 flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Cappuchino, Strawberry, Banana and Cookies and Cream. They also have a customized diet plans to help you lose weight.

The protein powder is $45 for a thirty servings. That comes out to $1.50 per serving. I could post a lot of information from their website on how it's a 4 hour time release, has 24 grams of protein per serving, but honestly I don't know much about the subject. I've never had a protein mix before. It's best to visit their website for that kind of information and leave me to tell you what I know.

Today I received my Cappuchino. Tomorrow was be the first day trying it out, but I opened the container and it smelled so delicious I had to try it. Smells just like a cappuchino should. It's 9:15 PM here, but whatever I had to.

So, first off the packaging. It arrived safely via USPS Priority Mail and was shipped quickly. Erik was quick to answer me back of when my product would ship and if he's out of stock on a particular flavor. It weighed less than a container that size I'd have thought weighed. What do I know.

You'll want to read about why you should use almond milk instead of soy milk. The only thing I had in the house was regular milk. Since the supermarket is so far away, regular milk it is. I put in two scoops of powder and some milk. Check inside. Your scoop may have settled a little.

The company says this mixes in as little as 4 ounces of liquid, mixes quickly, and has no chalky taste. They've spent many years researching this. As I said before I've never had a protein mix so I can't say how it compares to others, but I can say it's everything they claim. Mixes easy, not chalky, and tastes great. I'm not a big milk drinker, so this will help me get that in my system too.

I first mixed it lightly for a few seconds and was left with a little residue in my glass.. even that reside was delicious as I took a small lick of the side of the glass. Not once did I ever think of chalk. Products like Nestle quick leave you with some clumps of powder in your drink sometimes. Not thing stuff. I then lightly mixed a few more seconds and my drink was ready to go. I promptly downed the rest and am going for a walk.

I've always been a skinny kid (very skinny), but getting older you know how that goes. I'm 229 - 230 pounds! Much more than I've ever been. I'm going to replace breakfast with a shake.. I'll have two or three shakes a day along with two meals and hope to get my life back soon. My next purchase will probably be.. oh well I want to try almost every flavor I can't decide. I'll probably just play a game of protein roulette to decide.

Burger King Bacon Sundae

I love bacon and would love it in a sundae. I admire Burger King for trying to win over customers, but this could have been executed better.

First, it wasn't even on any menu that I could find. How are you supposed to sell it? I asked if they were doing it, ordered two, and then got looks from the other customers once they saw it. They were probably thinking, wha, what, where's that on the menu?

Second, nobody knew how to make one except one person. It's vanilla ice cream, chocolate and caramel sauce, some crumbled bacon, and a strip of bacon on top. The crumbles were only towards the top of the sundae and needed a few more to evenly distribute them throughout. After I ate the strip of bacon and got through the top few bites, I was left with nothing but a normal sundae. Big whoop. Just a little more crumbles to evenly distribute it throughout would have satisfied me.

I'm also going to leave a note here on two other things. Their advertisement talks about crispy sweet potato fries. They were soggy (what I expected, because I recall some other fast food place having the same fries). The other thing is the Coke Freestyle Machine. It has over 100 flavors of soda/water/juice/etc in one little machine. The cool thing is you can mix whatever flavors you want. The uncool thing is the ice button must sense what size cup you have. What if I only wanted a little ice? It kept coming out and all over the floor.

Ziegler's Southern Style Sweet Tea

I'm showing you a half gallon container, but the one I had was single serving size around 16 ounces or so. This was the only picture I could find. The container was made from a different material and left a plastic taste in the tea.

I probably wouldn't buy that size again, but will consider the half gallon if I see it, as I've had some of their other products in that same size and liked it. Problem aside, the tea still tasted better than a lot of other brands out there.

Sorry I can't comment any more.

Dirty Bloody Mary

I always think I'll like a bloody mary, but I find very few recipes I like. This one is one of my favorite.

 

Ingredients:

1 ounce Dirty Martini Mix

1 ounce Vodka

3 ounces Bloody Mary Mix

Few drops Sriracha sauce

Ice

Mix everything in a cocktail shaker and serve.

Quick Bubble Pizza

This is quick, inexpensive, and tastes really good. Mine took awhile longer because I caramelized some onions, but you can put whatever you want in it.

Ingredients:

2 packs of refrigerated biscuit dough, 6 biscuits each

1 jar pizza sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Bell's Turkey Seasoning

At first you'll probably say, "Turkey Seasoning?". Well, the original recipe called for a few bay leaves. The seasoning I used is a blend of rosemary, oregano, sage, ginger, and marjoram. I thought that sounded alright on pizza. You can use whatever you want. Maybe you have some Italian Herb blend laying around.

The biscuit dough was the cheap supermarket brand. Instead of over $2 for one pack, I paid .69 cents! The cheese was on sale for $1.77 or $1.88 (I forget which) and the pizza sauce was under $2 for a 14 ounce jar. The herbs I had already.

Heat the oven according to directions on the biscuit dough package. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. With a sharp knife cut the biscuit dough into 4 triangles and put in a large mixing bowl. Add in the pizza sauce, herbs, and 1.5 cups cheese. You can also mix in toppings if you want. After mixing, put in your baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake according to directions on biscuit dough package. I put mine in for an extra 5 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I think it came out almost perfect. For next time I think it needs a few dashes of red pepper flakes. In my recipe I had only used one onion, but I think two would be perfect.

Here's a link to the original recipe if you want to see it in a oven safe skillet: Pass The Sushi.

Very Cherre - Tart Cherry Blueberry

These were $2.49 for an 11 ounce bottle at the farmers market. I've never seen them anywhere else. Comes in four flavors.. Cherry, Cherry Pomegranate, Cherry Cranberry, and the one pictured above, Cherry Blueberry. Interesting bottle. That's not a bad graphic editing job on my part. The left side is curved a bit and bumpy, the right side really is flat.

I didn't check the label before I bought this and I'm always disappointed when ingredients say "grape juice". Kind of misleading when the front says "cherry blueberry". The image above was from their website, but the actual product color looks nothing like that. It's very purple.

The flavor was not tart and I didn't taste a lot of cherry. Blueberry and grape were most prominent here. I like cherry, but really only bought this because it said tart. Not something I'd buy again.

Blast by Colt 45

The logo looks like it came from the movie The Wash. It's no wonder they got Snoop Dogg for advertising. I miss the old St. Ides commercials where they'd have people rapping. I'd like to see them do more of that.

This is another one of those flavored malt beverages. This one from Colt 45. They kind of taste like the other ones, Four Loko, Mad Baller, etc. They all give my girlfriend a headache afterwards, including this one. It comes in four flavors, but what you really need to know is that I notice it gets my Girlfriend horny fast. If only I could get her to drink some more. She liked the taste, but not the headache.

Ferri's Potato Pizza - Moscow, PA

Today I went to Moscow..... Moscow, Pennsylvania that is. It's just over a 2 hour drive for me (one way), but I've been dying to try this special pizza they only make during Lent. Potato Pizza!

The building is kind of weird. You enter the building through a little coal mining museum. Lots of little old pieces to see. After that you're in a little store that sells handbags, lotions, soaps, and other girlie things. After that you're in the pizza place. Their potato pizza is so popular they have a map on the wall to pin where you came from. There's also a place you can write your town down.

This pizza was fantastical!! Totally worth the drive!! Did I just make up that word? It's fantastic and magical in one. It's like you're eating a pierogi on top of pizza dough. Very cheesy. The potatoes had a nice velvety texture, but still had some chunks in it. Looks like they had some egg yellow in it, because that picture is accurate. It's not the camera making it look yellow. There was lots of onion and garlic flavor. I read online somewhere that they use white, red, and green onion, but I'm not sure.

The pies were full tray of 12 slices for $16.50 or a half tray of 6 slices for $8.25. It was very filling. Between the two of us we couldn't finish a full tray. I was stuffed, but glad I didn't over eat like I normally do, because that makes driving home much harder.

You can bet this will be on my list of places to visit next year during lent. In fact, I'm going to see about sending some pizzas to my Mom in Hawaii.

Green Giant Fresh Whole Baby Idaho Potatoes

I've never seen these in Shop-Rite where I normally go. I had just left Shop-Rite as a matter of fact, but forgot dog food.. so I hit up Acme on the way home.

These come in four flavors:

Roasted Garlic Butter, Three Chile Sauce, Mesquite Smoked Bacon, and Four Cheese.

They were $2.99 a bag and I think a good size as a side dish for two people, but they were so tasty I wanted to eat them all myself.

We had Roasted Garlic Butter so far and it was fantastic. The potatoes were really really tender and really really flavorful. Just the right amount of sauce inside. The red baby potatoes have sort of a sweetness to them I think.

Cooking them is easy.. pop in the microwave for about five and a half minutes.

Mikonos Restaurant - Ewing, NJ

I needed some place to go for Valentine's Day. I've had Greek food before, but I wanted some place I'd never been to. This place has been on my list for quite some time, so it's nice to be able to finally mark it done. The restaurant is on Scotch Road in Ewing, NJ. You can find their website here. They're open every day of the week until 9 or 10 PM.

The dress is casual and the decor inside is pretty simple. They have plenty of seating, some tables and some booth's. There's a really big sunroom that's really nice. I think the prices are very reasonable.

Sitting at our table we were promptly greeted by our waitress. Recently I was at an Indian restaurant where the guy would walk back and fourth and look at you every fifteen seconds. How annoying. The waitress we had was attentive to all the tables she was working, but not annoyingly so. She was very nice, friendly and chatty. Perhaps the best waitress I've had in a long time. My only complaint would be that she should have known what the specials were without going out to read the sign at the door. No big deal, though.

We started off with Greek Coffee. This took a little bit to make, which the waitress apologized for, but really it wasn't that long. I think it was worth it. It's like some really good espresso, with a nice earthy tone. You have to let it sit for a few minutes, not only because it's hot, but because whatever is in it (just coffee grinds?) needs to settle down. If you drink it too early it'll have a gritty texture to it. All of that settles to the bottom and when your done you flip over the cup and they'll read your fortune. I was joking that I should have turned my cup over when the waitress wasn't looking and quickly try to make an image of the Virgin Mary with my fork for when they came back to read our fortune. That would have been funny, but I'm not that artistic. I don't think a stick figure would have been as believable.

That's not theirs or my picture. I just thought I'd show what Greek Coffee looks like. Now that I'm thinking about it I think it had a slightly chocolaty and smokey flavor in addition to what I mentioned above. Next time I'm definitely having more than one!

We didn't ask for it, but I'm guessing every table receives some pita bread with olive oil and Greek spices as a starter while you wait. The pita could have been a bit done more, so it would have been slightly toasty, but either way it was tasty and warm. Maybe that toasty thing is just me. I'm not sure how it would be served in another Greek restaurant. Careful not to fill up, because some meals come with a salad, which we didn't know. With an appetizer, salad, side dish, and a meal we left this place absolutely full.

For our appetizer we tried the Melitzanosalata. No need to pronounce it. Just point to the menu or say the eggplant appetizer. This is eggplant made with (I think) olive oil, lemon juice, tomato, and a ton of garlic. I'm not sure what else was in it, but it was excellent. I wasn't kidding about the ton of garlic either. I'd definitely order this again.

Next up came some salad. Had I known they came with our dinner I'd probably have skipped them. I'm not usually a salad eater. Lettuce, red onions, grape tomatoes, pretty simple. It was too light on the dressing, though. Had there been more dressing I'd probably have ate it all. The tomatoes were very tasty.

We both ordered the same entree. It was a Valentine's Special. They might have it on other days, but this was my first time there so I'm not sure. I can't pronounce the name, but it was meatballs in a red wine tomato sauce and a side of rice for $10. The meatballs were a good size. They seemed to have a more dense texture than I'm use to. I liked it. I'm not sure what they put in the rice. Maybe just butter. It was done perfectly. What I really enjoyed was the red wine sauce. It was very tasty, but didn't seem over acidic, and my stomach thanked them. I wasn't having heartburn later on that night.

We also had two sides of potatoes. First up are the lemon potatoes. They're boiled potatoes and sauteed in olive oil, lemon juice Greek spices. Very tasty. You get some really tangy bites in there. One order was enough for two people. Really good and highly recommended. Second up was an order of Greek Fries just to see what they were. Don't waste your time with these. They're frozen fries with a tiny bit of spice thrown on top. With all the other freshly prepared food available it would have been nice to see fresh cut fries instead.

The bottom line? Just about everything was really good and I can't say enough good things about the service from our waitress. I'm sure the desserts would have been good too, but we were too stuffed to even think about them. We'll be back again soon. I've actually got a craving for that coffee, so will probably be back very soon.

Hot Diggity - Philadelphia, PA

Why does it seem like every hot dog place is an hour away from me.. Rutt's Hutt, Charlie's Pool Room, with traffic lights and such even getting to my favorite Texas Weiner spots are even an hour. Hot Diggity is no exception. I've been meaning to go here for awhile, but it took one Hawk Krall to get me out there on a cold Friday night. He was showing some of his amazing hot dog artwork. I bought one of his prints already and have spoken to him many times through email. He's just as nice in person, but this review is about Hot Diggity, isn't it?!

PS - By the way, if you've only looked at Hawk's artwork online, you'll really like the quality if you see them in person. Awhile ago I ordered the Texas Weiner print as a Christmas present for my Grandmother. I loved it online and I love it even more in person.

I'm from New Jersey, so to me Philadelphia is a pain in the butt to drive. Narrow streets, every other street is one way, and free parking is hard to find especially for someone who doesn't know how to parallel park. If you can't find any parking, don't settle for some $20 parking lot. If you're willing to walk a few blocks from South Street you can probably find free parking and some other cool stores on the way. There's a bunch of shopping on the same street as Hot Diggity.

When I got there Hot Diggity was packed. There were no spots to sit down, but a few if I wanted to stand. They have 3 or 4 tables, and a few stand only. The guy behind the counter said they're usually pretty busy, but tonight especially.

I believe it was a Sabrett dog, which is fine with me, but maybe I heard wrong, because elsewhere suggests they use an all-beef Best's. They also offer a veggie dog on any of their menu choices. The dogs were nicely griddled on the outside.

They come on an Italian style roll, which is bigger than your American style bun. The rolls are locally made and very fresh. Even though they were bigger I didn't find them to be too much bread. I got a nice amount of dog, topping, and bun. But still, bread being bread, I was pretty full after one dog and fries. Had they been any thicker, though, I'd have not liked them.

The fries were nice and thick. They weren't wide like a steak fry, but they were thicker than say a McDonald's fry. Skin on. I thought they were done perfectly, but my Girlfriend thinks they could have been cooked a touch longer. I think I tasted peanut oil (correct me if I am wrong), which gave them a nice flavor. They weren't greasy at all. They need to be eaten quick, as they taste much better fresh. As mentioned on another website, they're a tad salty.. maybe not if you ate them alone but we paired them up with one of their dipping sauces.

They have about ten or twelve different sauces and occasionally rotate them. We tried the Curry Mayo. If I'd have seen Spicy Ginger before hand I'd probably have got that also. A large cone of fries was a good amount for two people and two to three sauces is plenty, unless you have to try them all then get a few more. Since this was my first time to Hot Diggity, I don't know what sauces they have in regular rotation, but I'd like to see some stuff that Pommes Frites in New York City has (they have over thirty sauces), so I don't have to go as far. They make a great Smoked Eggplant and the Irish Curry is the best I've ever had. Hot Diggity's fries were as good if not better than Pommes Frites.

Philly Surf & Turf

Seattle Grunge

Saigon Fusion

You can see everything Hot Diggity has on their website here, but I'll describe what we tried. My Girlfriend had a Philly Surf & Turf. It's a dog, wrapped with a homemade fish cake, topped with pepper hash, and mustard. She liked it. The fish cake tasted fresh and was nicely wrapped around the dog. It wasn't over fried, didn't seem overly greasy, and wasn't all mashed up into bits. It was one cohesive wrap.

I first had the Seattle Grunge. This has garlic cream cheese, red onion straws, scallions, and tomato. The onions were sliced extremely thin and were great to munch on by themselves with their strong flavor. There was a good amount of everything, except I couldn't notice the garlic flavor in the cream cheese. It tasted just like normal cream cheese to me.

Next up I had a Saigon Fusion. This comes with a house pickled cucumber, cilantro, red onion, carrots, jalapeno, thai chili vinaigrette, and hot sriacha. I skipped the carrots. Nice heat, but nothing you'll find on an episode of Man Vs. Food or anything, so it's good for just about any stomach to handle. The pickled cucumber and vinaigrette gave it a nice sweetness to balance the spicy. If you don't like soggy buns, eat this one quickly as the vinaigrette will soak in. I kind of liked it that way, though. Out of the two dogs I had this was my favorite.

They have a bunch of craft made sodas as well, but we didn't try anything. The wall display was nicely done. Off hand I noticed cucumber soda and, shit, on their website I see Moxie. I've always wanted to try that.

Most of the dogs are priced around $5 or $6. Hot Diggity does fill a niche and with that I'll be back again to sample one of each dog (except fish which I don't eat). Judging by the amount of people I saw inside, they all seemed pretty happy with that they were eating. When I've got a craving for a unique and tasty dog I know where to go.

The British Chip Shop - Haddonfield, NJ

I've been eyeballing this place as something to visit for awhile now. It's about an hour from me. Yesterday was my birthday and someone told me to go out to dinner and give them the bill. Perfect time to try something different.

The town of Haddonfield looked very nice. A bunch of little shops, including a British shop across the street, and down the road a bit there is a bunch of huge, expensive houses to see. Looks nice all lit up for Christmas.

The restaurant was pretty full when I arrived. Usually a sign of good food. There were a few opens tables and we were seated quickly. It's cold outside, but the temperature inside was good. Not too hot or cold. I warmed up pretty quick. Haddonfield is a "dry" town, but you can bring your own beer.

Their website lists a roasted butternut squash soup I'd have liked to try. They actually had potato leek and the soup of the day looked like chicken. My potato leek was very tasty. It was creamy with some nice big pieces of potato and a little carrot in it. I finished it all. My Girlfriend had the other soup. It was full of vegetables and a ton of chicken. Looking in the bowl I saw mostly chicken and good sized pieces too.

As an appetizer we had curried cheese chips. These are french fries with cheese and a curry sauce. I liked the sauce.. it wasn't too sweet. My favorite curry sauce comes from Pommes Frites in New York, but this was pretty good too and a lot closer to home.

Next time I think we're going to try the scotch egg. It's a hard boiled egg wrapped in sausage served hot or cold. Maybe desert too. I was too full from all the other food to have dessert, though.

When ordering dinner I didn't realize that everything we ordered had potato and I was kind of overloaded by starchy food, but that's nothing to do with the dinner. Everything was very good.

My Girlfriend had fish & chips. Market fresh haddock in a flaky breading. It comes in three sizes jack, queen, and king. We were told unless you're very hungry go for the queen, so she did. It was pretty big.. I'd say about six to eight inches. The house-made tartar sauce was excellent. I'd order a side of that next time just to eat with fries it was so tasty.

I had the cottage pie. A large ramekin filled with ground beef, vegetables (celery, carrot, more?), and topped with mashed potatoes. When it came out it was really hot. The only thing out of the whole night I would knock them for is that the carrots in the cottage pie were too hard.

The waitress was friendly, quick and attentive. The people who cleaned off the tables were nice and talkative too. Asked how we liked our food, if it was our first time there, etc. We'll definitely be back.. in fact I'm taking my Grandmother there next weekend!

Walnut Pasta Sauce

I am always on the look out for pasta sauce recipes that do not include tomato. The acid doesn't sit well with me. I found this recipe for Walnut Pasta Sauce and it was fantastic. At first I was worried it might be chunky and that bits of nuts would be caught in my teeth, but not so. Here's how I made it:

Ingredients:

1 cup walnuts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Salt & Pepper

In a food processor, add the nuts and pulse until they're a fine consistency. The original recipe called for toasting the walnuts, but I skipped that step.

Add in the olive oil, white wine, and pulse again to mix well. That was the amount of oil called for in the original recipe. It came out a bit lumpy, so add in some more olive until it smooths out. Some people say to cook your pasta and add in a bit of pasta water, because it will replace some of the starch lost during cooking and thicken it up a bit. I did not do that and thought it was fine.

Now add in your nutmeg and cinnamon and pulse again to mix.

Transfer this mixture to a pot and heat. Add in your heavy cream and heat. I actually just added the whole pint of heavy cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss with pasta.

The Heat Is On - Spicy Peanut Butter

This peanut butter contains chili powder, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper, and paprika, among other ingredients. I was surprised to see vinegar listed.

It was incredibly tasty, but I was also surprised to see that it was actually very hot. They didn't just mix in a little heat, this stuff is really hot.

On their website this goes for $6 a jar, but I find it in stores for $3.39 or so. Not a bad price and I'm ready to buy more.

I haven't tried their other flavors, but intend to: Mighty Maple, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl, and The Bee's Knees are just some of the others.

Aldi's Grandessa Signature Quattro Formaggio

Normally I like to keep Aldi Supermarket reviews in one post HERE, but this one was too good to pass up.

It's a pizza with four different slices. You get one with Mozzarella, one with Red Cheddar & Parmesan, one with Roquefort, and one with Goat's Cheese. I loved every slice!

The two most memorable slices were the Roquefort and Goat's Cheese. Roquefort is a blue cheese with a sharp tang and pungent odor. Very tasty. The Goat's Cheese was very tasty, but I don't know how to describe the flavor exactly. Was it nutty? Not exactly. It was a few small discs like in the picture. Wikipedia says it has a tartness, which I associate with a cherry and I don't think it had that. Whatever, all I need to remember is delicious. The other two slices weren't bad either, but the two above were amazing.

As for taste, this pizza was probably the best pizza I've ever had from a box. They're so good I'm considering going back to buy five or ten more! As for the crust, it was just average.

I ate this pizza by myself, but I think the worst part is if I had to share. I don't want to give either of those two slices away!

Domino's Stuffed Cheesy Bread

Domino's introduced new stuffed cheesy bread. They come in three varieties cheese, spinach and feta, and bacon and jalapeno. They come 8 to an order.

They taste like regular cheesy bread (or Domino's pizza dough) but stuffed inside. They're actually pretty good. I had the bacon jalapeno. They have a nice kick to them, but not too much and the bacon inside was the right amount. Not too salty either.

I'd buy these again, but I wonder if Domino's makes these to order or in advance. It would be nice if I could select a topping or two and design my own.

Italian Rose Salsa Ranch Dip

UPDATE 4/28/12: The company has replied to my post here and I'll post my comment down there. As stated originally I did like the flavor of their product. They explained what the globs were and I've given them another chance. Check out some of their other delicious looking products here: http://www.italian-rose.com/

This review has been a long time coming. I keep putting it off. I had sent an email to the company which went unanswered.

I couldn't find a picture to post here as their website is not working right now.

I was in a Sam's Club and found this. It was a huge container for $4.99 or  $5.99 I believe. I thought it was a great price for the large size.

At first I thought it was very good. The flavor was nice and it was very spicy which I liked. I had it as a dip, but was imagining what else I could use it for.

The next day I decided I'd make some mac and cheese and mix some of the ranch dip in. That's when I saw something that made me not want to ever use this product again!

Big blobs of a "gelatan" like substance. It looked like huge blobs of a clear vaseline like substance. There were two golf ball sized blobs in there! If you've ever seen Mythbusters or something like that, it reminded me of the clear gelatan like material they shoot bullets into.

That was enough to make me throw it out and the food I was cooking.

Is this normal for the product? As of right now I'm not so sure I want to give it another chance, even though part of me wants to have that spicy flavor again.

BodyArmor SuperDrink

These drinks have no artifical flavors or colors, no preservatives, and contain 10% coconut water. I tried Cherry Citrus flavor.

The flavor closely resembles  Gatorade red a lot. Not something I'd drink again. Gives me bad heartburn. I'm not concerned with all the vitamins. I just wanted to try something new. I can get Powerade red in a bigger bottle for 99 cents if I really wanted something of this flavor.

If you're interested in more than just flavor, I'll list below what was in my bottle. Not sure if all flavors have the same vitamins.
