from the people who bring you english muffins and bagels, comes a new product; croissant bread.
it is very much like a croissant. we had it toasted with butter and un-toasted with butter. it was slightly better toasted, which is probably why they say to do that on the front of the package.
it's more money than regular bread, and even if it wasn't we would not get it again.
another pizza with unusual topping for aldi.
not very good, didn't taste much like a cheeseburger. flatbread pizza is always too tough and has an odd taste.
was vaguely amused by the knock-off heinz ketchup & french's mustard bottles as decoration on the box.
*this is listed as Cheeseburger Party Flatbread on their site, but the box has the word "party" first.
despite a few days of spring-like temperatures, it is still winter.
temperatures are dropping off and there is a chance of snow the next few days.
a new thing from little debbie we got from wal-mart.
it's a different from of their popular nutty buddy wafer bar with peanut butter, coated in chocolate.
even though it's supposed to be the same stuff, it did not taste the same. i think the wafer/crust was different, it had kind of an oddly dense feeling when biting into it.
nutty buddy bars, even the wal-mart brand, are much better.
bettergoods is this new line of food products at wal-mart. they're supposed to be better than their great value line. but everything we've had so far was either bad, or meh.
their soups that come in jars are decent.
tomato, orzo and spinach--not bad, kind of spicy.
tomato three cheese bisque--it was OK, like regular tomato soup but cremaier.
creamy hatch chile and sweet corn chowder--very hot, could not tast anything else. i told my brother that we should not get it, but he insisted.
southwest roasted tomato black bean--very spicy, could not taste much beyond that.
will not get any of these again.
i never heard of this restaurant before finding this brand of frozen pizza at wal-mart.
they must put some kind of stuff on it to make it smell/taste like it's from a wood-fired oven. it is not good.
according to their website this is a thin crust, but it looks like a regular crust to me. what they call ultra thin looks more like the thin crust i'm used to seeing.
saw this at wal-mart & decided to try it. it was very meh and the crust reminded me of the pizza we had in school (which wasn't good).
people say they go to chuck e. cheese for the pizza. but if it's like this i don't see why they do.
there were several days of more reasonable winter temperatures. with at random day or two of early spring-like temperatures.
now it is getting too cold again. it is maddening, to say the least.
hope you have a nice holiday today.
and you can get some discounted candy tomorrow.
first of all, it had a thin crust. which i never like. second the ricotta cheese was a bit odd. it's really only good in lasagna.
and the texture of the ricotta was strange. i'm not one of those types that thinks about the "mouth feel" of food. but i noticed it with this.
it has gone from freezing temperatures for weeks, to almost spring levels of warm.
now it is getting cold again. but not as bad as before.
it is a thin crust, which is an automatic strike against it. IMHO anyway, but my brother likes thin crust.
overall, it was not that good. the bacon had too much smoke flavor & it didn't taste too much like potatoes. even the instant mashed ones like i expected it might taste like.
they're a limited time thing from wal-mart.
did not taste much like coco and did not taste any marshmallows.
but you never know until you try it.
after a few days of (slightly) warmer temperatures, we are back to the low double digits.
this is too much for too long. although it might warm up to just above freezing for a few days again.
some time ago oreo had a cookies n' cream oreo that i wanted to get, but missed the boat on that.
now they have a double stuffed one (i think they say mega stuffed) with bits of oreo cookies in the cream. which is close enough to the cookies n' cream ones.
not too bad. basically the taste of regular oreos, but we didn't really notice the chocolate cookie bits.
wal-mart has this bettergoods store brand now. mostly fancier, more expensive things. basically their answer to target's good & gather store brand.
they have some different tortilla chips, we got 2 to try (there are 4-5 different ones);
heirloom blue corn and multigrain tortilla chips; not too bad. kind of thick, which is odd.
cassava flour red quinoa chips (which i can not find on the site for some reason). tastes better than the blue ones, more like regular tortilla chips. these are strips about an inch wide & maybe 4 inches long, on average. which i have never seen before.
if you want something different for your next party, or get together to watch a sports game, these would be good for that.
we got this one not long ago and had it for dinner.
first of all; the meatball pieces were big, but too few. they were just cut in half & they should be cut into smaller pieces.
second; the sauce was very spicy. like buffalo sauce level spice. and nowhere in the description of the pizza was it indicated that it would be spicy.
have to remember not to buy it again.
the past few days it's been getting colder & will stay that way for a bit. that's typical of january.
not too much snow though.
