I am not a cigar smoker who has the —˜packet habit’. That term may not mean anything to you, but it’s a symptom of cigarette smokers’ behaviour. They have that little packet out of their pocket with great regularity and out comes another coffin nail. Cigar smokers tend to …

Liquorish is the kind of candy I crave once in a while, but it’s actually pretty unique in terms of flavor, there’s absolutely nothing like it out there. It’s a perfect combination of sweet and salty and the texture feels really nice too. It’s pretty chewy, but it’s not as …

Normally, I love Jimmy Dean’s line of frozen food. This is particularly true when the meal includes sausage. As far as I’m concerned, Jimmy Deann produces the very best pork sausage, whether it be the big roll or the link variety. Not too spicy, but not too bland, JD’s …

I thought that I would enjoy Stouffer’s Lasagna with Tomato Sauce & Italian Sausage because first of all, I like Italian sausage, and second of all, I really enjoy lasagna products from Stouffer’s. Somehow though, my liking of both these things resulted in me not liking this lasagna. Perhaps …

Since I was picking up lunch meat last night (I found it on sale), I decided I probably should buy a loaf of bread too. We had some bread at home already. But, with sandwiches, we go through it too fast and I didn’t want to risk running out.
