Agreeably, staying in great shape is not a walk in the park. That’s why I’m delighted when my mom brought home some protein bars that she recently bought.

Last night, my friend and I decided to venture into Hooters. Being from Texas, the local Hooters restaurants are owned under a different company, the Texas Wings Association, and the food quality isn’t so bad. Down south, the food can at least taste better than those bar nachos you …

Stagg, I’d like to note in passing, has started putting their chili out in a cardboard Smart Pak, which is probably cheaper than cans and easier to open too - but you do need scissors or a knife.
The County Brand is decently flavorful, and seems to use good meat …

The thing I like about Mountain Holler (sold here at …

I tried it the other day when I was to too tired to too …

I am lover of instant coffee. To be more precise, I like it strong, sweet - and preferably cool. And yet, I am not a great fan of iced coffee… with the exception of one single brand: Jacobs Ice Coffee.
I have noticed there are two “ice coffee” produced by Jacobs. …

Once more, it’s time for another trip to the old figurative lunch pail for a lighter liquid lunch alternative. This time on the docket is Wye River Eastern Shore Style Oyster Stew. Hmm another seafood soup; in my experience that can be a “risky” proposition. So how does …

Roddenberry’s Northwoods: Butter-Maple Artificial Flavored Syrup is slightly better than the original syrup because this variety has a richer flavor to it, but still, it is not something that is worth the ridiculous price tag that comes attached to it. I can most definitely taste the butter flavoring that …

General Mills Fruity Cheerios is one of General Mills more recent Cheerios creations. It seems they just keep coming up with new kinds of Cheerios! Fruity Cheerios didn’t sit well with me though. I personally thought that the Fruity Cheerios were much too sweet. I couldn’t eat too many …
