When you’ve returned from foreign holidays, it’s strange how things that tasted really great wherever you were, now taste terrible. I have been to many countries and found this to be the case. I don’t know what the reason for things seeming to be good when you’re elsewhere and …

I never liked the fast food chain Greenwich and for the longest time, I felt that their food items were below par compared to the food offerings of other fast food chains. Yes, the food items are very affordable but then the quality of the food is so poor …

Safeway stores has another in its selection of very good sandwiches. The sandwich is roast beef with crumbles of bleu cheese with lettuce and tomatos on focaccio bread. It is delicious. Bleu cheese isn’t a cheese I’d normally expect with roast beast, but it’s delicious.
I had this sandwich recently …

Cadbury dairy milk chocolate is now certified Fair Trade. This is such a relief for me, being a chocoholic with ethics can be difficult because many chocolate manufacturers do not guarantee a fair trade for developing world producers. It’s more important now, given recent news reports on …

DelGrosso Mushroom Spaghetti Sauce is actually a spaghetti sauce that contains more than mushrooms. In addition to the pieces of mushrooms and mushroom flavoring, there’s some cheese flavoring to the spaghetti sauce too. Between the mushrooms and cheese flavorings, one would think that this must be a spaghetti sauce …

Most people prefer Dasani or Aquafina water, or another type that is not generic. I, however, enjoy drinking Sam’s Choice Purified Drinking Water. This is the brand that is sold as Wal-mart, and I’d imagine it’s also sold at Sam’s Club. It sells for quite a …

Metromint - Peppermint Water is more or less about as good as hint peppermint water, and if I had to choose the better tasting flavored water, I do not think that I could. Much like the hint flavored water line, this water is also pretty pure and healthy. The …

Because I’m a cheapskate who sometimes resorts to counting change and heading to the Golden Arches for the $1.00 value menu, I have become a seasoned eater of the double cheeseburger at McDonald’s. In the last year, I have probably had about 80 of them, usually two at …
