it's been rater fall-like here lately. with very cool/borderline cold temperatures & with windy, overcast days.
but there have been a few random days where it got warmer, more spring-like temperatures. but now it's getting cold again and there might even bee snow. or at least a rain/snow mix.
went to a dollar tree for the first time in a while and decided to get some snacks.
there's a company called brim's that had some chips and whatnot. we got their version of funyuns & their bbq pork rinds.
their funyuns were ok. not a very strong flavor and they had some kind of herb on them. which we've never seen before in a version of funyuns.
the bbq pork rinds had too much bbq flavored dust on them. which is often typical of flavored pork rinds.
neither is anything to get again.
the temperatures (the highs during the day) really dropped off mid-week here. so, unless they go back up for a while (which has been known to happen). it's fall weather now.
i have to switch my spring/summer clothes out for my fall/winter ones. and put my winter gloves and hat in my backpack for when they are needed.
we will probably not get any this year. they don't have white chocolate reeces pumpkins that my brother likes. and everything is so expensive now. we're going to save money and get christmas candy later.
of course this plan may go out the window if there's a good discount on a mixed bag of stuff that we both like that we could divide among us.
we finally had some rain a few days ago. well, more than some. it rained most of the day. quite heavy at times too.
it seems to be cooling off some now, but the weather reports are calling for a random day, or two, or slightly warmer temperatures now and then.
came across these at wal-mart & decided to try them.
Smokehouse-Style Grilled Chicken with Potatoes and Roasted Vegetables-- very spicy. on a scale of 1 to 5, it was a 3.5, almost 4. but someone else who often gets spicy stuff might say it was a 2.
Sausage Beer Cheese with Potato-- a bit spicy, as is to be expected with sausage. a 2.5 -ish on the 1 to 5 scale.
BBQ-Style Grilled Chicken & Fire Roasted Corn-- not too spicy. maybe slightly less than a 2 on the scale.
Steakhouse-Style Steak & Bean-- not much spice. maybe not quite a 1.5 on the scale.
the progresso site lists a Hearty Smokehouse-Style Steak & Potatoes with Roasted Vegetables one, but wal-mart didn't have that.
this is one of three NFL tailgating inspired flavors. the other two being hot sauce (frank's hot sauce) and kettle cooked cheesy buffalo dip.
these chips do not taste like loaded nachos at all. the main (& basically only) flavor is spice. they look like they could taste a bit like cheese, but don't.
we would've gotten the cheesy buffalo dip too (although that would be very spicy), but we do not like kettle cooked chips.
