memorial day

 hope you had a nice memorial day weekend and avoided drinking too much. or avoided the people who did.

and if you're going to the store(s) for memorial day sales, hope you find a go deal. 

Zaxbys Zax Sauce

 my brother discovered this at wal-mart a few days ago. so we decided to try it.

we put it on chicken patty sandwiches (with medium cheddar & sandwich pepperoni), but could not really taste it. so, we put some on a plate & tipped our fingers in it to find out what it tastes like. i guess it is better as a dip than a condiment.

it is like a spicy ketchup/mayo combo. possibly based on thousand island dressing. as many "special" sauces seem to be.

there isn't a zaxbys in like 250-300 miles of here, but now we know what their "zax sauce" is like. 

random summer-like heat

 it's been around 90 degrees the past couple of days. i don't like it.

it is supposed to cool off to more reasonable spring-like temperatures soon. 

 

 

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.
