too early

wal-mart is putting out valentie's candy, which is to be expected. but they also have some easter stuff out!

easter is april 1 this year (no joke) so they are really rushing things.

this is as bad as the christmas stuff starting to appear in october.

banana pudding

more specifically patti labelle's banana pudding from wal-mart.

normally they have a large thing for like $12.00, but i found small, single-serve things not long ago. neither my brother, nor i were impressed.

i don't know what it is about banana desserts, but they sometimes have this sharp, almost metal taste to them. maybe because it's not fresh?

so far all of patti labelle's stuff has been lack-luster. the sweet potato pie and the apple & berry cobblers.

tried cookie butter

tried biscoff cookie butter which is made from some kind of fancy cookie Europeans have with their coffee.

it was nothing special. kind of a bit of cinnamon or something in it. probably won't get it again.

the trader joe's speculoos cookie butter is supposed to be great, but i had ben & jerry's speculoos cookie butter core ice cream and was not impressed.

new year's eve 2017

really hope that next year is better than this year.

and if you're drinking tonight, don't drive. also. "buzzed driving" is just as bad as drunk driving.

christmas 2017

merry christmas to tos who clerbrate it. a pleasant monday (are mondays ever "happy?") to those who don't.

hope you got everything you wanted and if not, that you can exchange it for something you do want. maybe wait a couple of days though. tomorrow everyone & their cousin will be returning stuff and trying to find stuff on sale.

hershey's gold

finally found one to try.

not impressed. but better than the cookies & cream. not by much tough.

winter weather

and it's not even winter yet.

much colder now with some snow even.

it's supposed to be colder in general this winter, but less snow.
