New product Wednesday, at Dallas-area stores: Black Velvet apricots
"peacotum" Yeah that needs a new name.
I found grapples to be rather nice, except for their price.

The Next Food Network Star: Episode Five, June 29
I watched this the first season and that was it. I did check out a few of these recent episodes and am glad that it is no longer a part of my TV diet.
I'm also distressed with the state of the network.
Where are the shows that help us cook? This is like when MTV stopped playing music.

Saw it in the store and it sounded intriguing on one hand and NASTAY on the other.

New product Wednesday, at Dallas-area stores: Canada Dry Sparkling Green Tea Ginger Ale
Not a big fan of ginger ale. Now ginger beer, hat's good ea... err drinks. And if you add some rum and you get a Dark'n'Stormy. YUM!
Oh and I don't like green tea in any form other than hot.

New product Wednesday, in Dallas stores: Kraft Macaroni & Cheese crackers
I know people who are sensitive to wheat gluten. Does that make it dangerous?
Look I don't think anyone is saying that MSG is good for you. At least I'm not. We (Americans) tend to consume all manner of things that aren't good for you. And the government is to some degree responsible (I'm thinking of corn syrup here). But to call it "poison" to me simply seems like hyperbole.
I'm interested in being healthy which is why we've cut way back on processed foods. It's not becuase I think that the government is "out to get us" which is what it sounds like some here believe.
Yes the FDA has recalled drugs. I think that shows that at least on some level the process works. Should those drugs have been fast tracked? No. So the process isn't perfect. With scrutiny it can be made better.

"The dangers are not something the gov/FDA is interested in you knowing about."

"nice to hear from the captain. can we take this to mean that you like Cheez-its? also wonder if the eucalyptus spawn enjoy the mac & cheeze "
I particularly like the green Tabasco flvored Cheez-its. We don't usually do Kraft MnC at home. Ususally we boil up some shells and just add MASSIVE amounts of Velveeta. Occasionally we'll go the extra mile and make a homemade cheese sauce.

First off, I love Kraft MnC. I think it's a classic even if it's not as "good" as homemade or even velveeta. It has a special place in my fat choked heart.
Second, I really like cheese flavored crackers and good on Kraft for putting more cheese in theirs.

Best Bites: Dining out in Dallas-Fort Worth June 15
I kinda like CiCi's. Granted they're no Papa John's (king of takeout chain pizza), but their buffet is great for feeding the ravening hoards in my houehold. And they have mac-n-cheese pizza.

Starbucks' new summer flavor will be - ta-da - raspberry
Here you are!!
Well I can't say that I much like most reapberry flvored thing. Most of the time they're too artificial. And since SB tends to over flavor most things I doubt ver ymuch that this will be good. I did have a pumpkin scone from them the other day that wasn't too bad though.



Jingle Bells On Bishop
Yep! See you there soon!
