the weather

 firmly in the spring-like category.

although accuweather.com says it is cooler than it is supposed to be this time of year.

i do not look forward to hotter weather. 

tried Kefir

 we figured we needed more probiotics & decided to try kefir.

according to google kefir is a tangy, probiotic-rich fermented drink made from kefir "grains" (a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) mixed with milk or water, resulting in a slightly fizzy, yogurt-like beverage packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein.

we got a raspberry flavored one from target & it is more sour than "tangy." and thick, like a drinkable yogurt.

would not get again. we are thinking of sticking to regular yogurt for probiotics from now on. 

dirty mountin dew

 in this case "dirty" means that it has a vanilla cream flavor added.

it's the fad right now. taco bell has some drinks like this. i think it might be just a pepsi company thing.

anyway, my brother discovered a 20oz dirty mountain dew at wal-mart a few days ago & we got one to split.

it has a vanilla-y smell & a lemon-ish taste with a bit of vanilla. not horrible. and not something to get again.

 

Stove Top Cranberry Stuffing

 found this a few days ago at wal-mart.

i know you're thinking; "wasn't that for thanksgiving?" well, it had a use by date of sept. 2026 so it was still good.

the taste of it was like stove top's savory herbs variety, but a lighter taste with the occasional tart cranberry.

tried it, so there's no reason to get it again. 

easter 2026

 hope you had a nice easter, if you celebrate.

and hope you find some candy in the discount sales tomorrow. 

dot's snack mix

 discovered this at wal-mart a few days ago.

it is dot's seasoned pretzel twists (mini) with garlic rye chips, bold cheese seasoned pita chips, and savory corn cereal (chex).

it's OK, put pricey ($6.17 for 14oz). i like chex snack mixes better, and they are cheaper ($3.96 for 13.5oz). and chex has bigger rye chips.

more crazy weather

 was warm over the weekend & then it was freezing and snowed.

people say this is typical march weather, but i don't recall it being this crazy before. 

and it is technically spring now, so who knows what will go on with the weather.
