Recently I was in the mood for a simple dessert and I noticed that Jack in the Box actually had something called Chocolate Overload Cake. I’d never ordered it before and, in fact, had no idea that they even had this kind of dessert available. Naturally, I …

Bakeries always smell wonderful, all of them; the good ones usually have a great variety of baked goods, and some even have delicatessens. In the picturesque town of Steveston, in Richmond, B.C. where you can buy fish from the fishing boats moored in the harbour, there are many small …

When I was young, milk was my beast friend. I’d have it with a full breakfast and before I go to sleep at night. That was up until I vomited in school when I was in kindergarten. I purged out all the milk I drank that morning. And we …

In …

I am not a big fan of chocolate with coffee taste because chocolate has rather strong taste and coffee too so together they don’t go quite well, they kind a clash, although cappuccino doesn’t taste as much like coffee as coffee itself the mixture of it with chocolate is …

I have loved Banquet Chicken Pot Pies since I was a child — at least 45 years I would say. If you have never eaten a Banquet Pot Pie, it is small, just a few inches across, and frozen so it is convenient …

I really have two favorite kinds of donuts — glazed and powdered. I suppose I’m overly loyal to what I grew up with and am a bit of a finicky eater (that’s an understatement, I’m certain), but give me a good glazed donut or a good powdered one, …

I love having Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage for breakfast, it is a great addition to French toast or waffles. This sausage is sold whole or sliced, in a box. We have bought both versions; the taste is the same, but each packaging type has its own advantages and disadvantages. …

These corn flakes are a bit of an unusual choice if you, like me, are generally the sort of person who sticks to either the supermarkets’ own brands or the traditional fall back of Kellogg’s. They are also fairly expensive, with my local Sainsbury’s supermarket selling only a smallish …

Quite surprisingly, I never had an easy time tracking down this elusive fourth variety of ice cream. Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Vanilla is, for whatever reason, harder to find in stock than the other three varieties. I cannot understand why, either. I tried it, and there is nothing …

You should really try this. …

Marie Callender’s Country Fried Chicken & Gravy is another product I tried recently for the first time. While this variety isn’t a new one for Marie Callender’s, it was on sale, and I noticed that the gravy was provided in a pouch instead of mixed in.
