st. patrick day 2024

 

i decided to skip looking for irish soda bread this ear. too dry & too many raisins. 

anyway, don't drink too much green bee and watch out for this that do.

dollar general bbq potato chips

 when we went to dollar general several day back we also go their brand of bbq potato chips.

not a lot of flavor on them. which isn't all that bad, don't want to be overwhelmed like with the chili cheese corn chips. but still, not something to get again.

spiced coke

 my brother picked this up from a convenience store a few days ago because he thought it would be similar to the cinnamon coke he missed out on 3 or so years ago.

he didn't see the small print on the lower left of the label that it was raspberry & spice flavored.

we split it so it would too much to put up with. 

it smelled a little like raspberries when it was first opened, but not afterwards. and kind of tasted perfume-y, like you walked past someone with a lot of scent on & took a breath through your mouth. 

it is not anything we want to get again.

dollar general brand chili cheese corn chips

 haven't been in a dollar general in along time, so we went on tuesday.

discovered they had their store brand of chili cheese corn chips, so we got a bag. 

very spicy probably to cover up how cheap they are. cheap corn & stuff in the chips, fried in cheap oil.

super bowl food

 for the super bowel we had digiorno classic crust meet lovers pizza, wal-mart cheese bread sticks from the take & bake area near the deli, buffalo chicken dip, burnt ends dip (wal-mart) & pretzel sticks to tip in them.

the digiorno pizza was a disapointment. first; "classic crust" is no different than then. second it wasn't as good as the red barron pizza we had a week earlier. and it's more money. we used to get their rising crust, but then it was always really wet in the middle(?). d for disappointment.

the cheese bread stick produced a lot of oil, i'm so glad used the cooking sheet with the sides (jelly roll pan?) or it would've been everywhere in the bottom of the oven and maybe started a fire.

the dips were OK, but just a bit too much in terms of spices & "coming back" later.

the pretzels were fine, just basic stuff in a back from the chip section.

valentine's day 2024

 

hope you had a nice holiday, even if you spent it alone.

hopefully you can get some discounted candy tomorrow, before all of the easter stuff is put out. even tough some places have had a section of easter stuff since the beginning of january.
