Every morning for the last 10 years I have gotten up and made a standard brewed pot of starbucks coffee. I drink several cups of this in the morning and by afternoon the coffee is stale and gross. Every afternoon I have to decide if …

I find Mrs. Freshley’s Pound Cake to be an enjoyable treat to have, although there is really nothing all that special about this pound cake. It tastes like pound cake, but the taste is not any better really than other brands of pound cake that I have tried. It …

I was prodded to try this new ice cream, after hearing the upbeat raves from my friend. She’d said that once I tasted the ice cream, I would never be the same. I can honestly say that she was indeed right about that.

Log Cabin: Country Kitchen Original is not quite as good as the original Log Cabin syrup. To me, there is a definitely difference in taste that while not extensive, still reduces my enjoyment of my breakfast somewhat. It seems with the Country Kitchen syrup, the syrup does not taste …

With summer drawing to a close I have been more and more convinced that over the next several months I should begin trying to lose weight for spring. I have read about several weight loss plans and I have narrowed it down to a few that I will …

I have never been a fan of the Oreo cookies. To me a cookie should be soft and sweet with some added chocolate and the hard, not-so-chocolate taste of the cookies never appealed to me. So I was surprised when I tried the new Oreo Cakesters and fell in …

Jewel Chef’s Kitchen Pizza is just as good or even better that take out pizza. Now, this pizza might now look like much in the freezer section at the store, because it’s a very thin crusted pizza and the wrapper is just plain cellophane, but when you take …

This soda happens to be a favorite of mine. Although sodas sweetened with Aspartame are not good for you by any means, an occasional glass or two shouldn’t hurt too much. I enjoy Diet Pepsi Decaf because of the light, refreshing, crisp, true cola taste. It does not have …

Drake’s Yodels are long and fat chocolate creme-filled cakes. They very much remind me of Hostess Ho-Hos in color, shape and flavor. On the outside, there’s s layer of chocolate frosting that goes all around the Yodel snack cake. The chocolate frosting has a mildly rich flavor to it. …

Marlboro Lights is the cigarette brand that I patronize. It tastes just right and since it’s lights, the nicotine content is not too high. The smell is also not as irritating as the other brands and not that strong. One complaint that I have about this product is that …

I don’t drink soda as a rule. Why? Because my wife told me it has too much sugar and I believe her. Also, I checked the ingredients list and discovered that she was right. But the other day I needed caffeine in a big way and grabbed a Dr. …
