Time for Tea
When I was a small boy, I often saw some scenes in movies where some people would be seated at a table having tea. Then the host would usually ask the guest |”Sugar? One lump or two?” Now in such modern times that even 10 yr. olds have a …
Red Baron Stuffed Pizza Slices
I purchased these stuffed pizza slices because I thought they would be like the stuffed pizza slices you get at a pizzaria. Sure, they were frozen and out of a box, so they may not be as good as fresh ones. But still, I though from the picture …
Franziskaner Weissbier Naturtrub Wheat Beer
Hefeweizens are my absolute favorite type of beers, especially as a light beer, but I typically prefer them on draft as opposed to in a bottle. However, I’m really glad I decided to buy this Franziskaner Weissbier Naturtrub because it has quickly become one of my favorite Hefeweizens.
This wheat …
Lean Cuisine Chicken Fettucine
I love pasta in creamy sauce. It doesn’t however love me, as it is usually very high in fat. Finally I found a cheap, low fat option in the Lean Cuisine Chicken Fettucine dinner.
This is a fabulous pasta dinner. In the packaging, the chicken, sauce and vegetables are on …
Talus Collection Pinot Noir
This 2004 California wine really packs a punch! This Pinot Noir is not bitter to the taste, but has a very high alcohol content for a red wine (13.5%). I suppose that is why it’s cheaper. At any rate, the wine has a sweet but woody …
Champagne Truffle Hershey Kisses
I’ve been following the Hershey Kisses lineup for awhile now because they keep releasing different varieties. I love the original Hershey Kisses because they provide that little dose of chocolate that I sometimes need to get me through the day and they aren’t full of calories if you limit …

YMA Apple Cinnamon Flavored Water

Willie’s Homemade Vanilla and Cookies Ice Cream
Here in Trinidad there is a little place at one of the malls named Willie’s Ice Cream Parlour. They make homemade ice creams and serve them up just like you would get regular ice creams. You can choose from having it in cones, cups, even fancy banana splits and …
Knorr’s Cheddar Broccoli Rice Side

Breakfast Best Scrambled Eggs, Hash Browns & Sausage

Adobo

Stouffer’s Pastaria 3 Cheese Macaroni
As frozen foods go, Stouufer’s Pastaria 3 Cheese Macaroni is very…convenient. It was easy to prepare in the microwave - I poked a couple of holes and then stuck the package in for 4 minutes. No problems. (These can also be prepared in the oven, which I haven’t tried).
The …

Sam’s Cola

Birdseye Fresh-like Green Beans
We ended up having a leftover turkey dinner last night and, to go with it, my wife made some Birdseye Freshlike brand Green Beans.

First, they just didn’t seem to cook …

Mrs. Freshley’s Winter: Holiday Powdered Mini Donuts
Although there is really nothing all that spectacular about Mrs. Freshley’s Winter: Holiday Powdered Mini Donuts, I nonetheless find them to be a satisfying and delectable snack to have around the winter season.

Little Debbie Creme-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes
