Monterey Mushrooms

Monterey Mushrooms are just right for your summer cooking needs. Like any other mushroom really. I mean, I'm trying to eat healthy but healthy food is all the same.

O.Vine White Wine Essence Water

O.Vine White Wine Essence Water is what you drink when you want all the nasty of wine but none of the drunk. I don't get it but it's a thing. Like non alcoholic beer. 

I have to say the stuff kind of grown on you but it's got to be an acquired taste.  Now I wouldn't go around getting this but it's okay. I mean, if you like wine then why would you get this? You'll like it, but you'll be like where is my wine?

Stokes Ranch Feeder

I have a spot of over farmed land on my property that could use some bird crap to make it farmable again. So I went out and got these Stokes Ranch Feeders to draw in the birds and give my cats something to kill. 

Well, didn't have the first one out there for as long as it took me to get the second before a bird was munching away. I almost want to sit in my back yard and take pictures of them little buggers as they eat the bird seed. 

Dang thing works like a charm. Well, better than a charm because charms don't work.

Famous Amos Bite Size Cookies Chocolate Chip

Famous Amos Bite Size Cookies Chocolate Chip are the cookies that you find in every vending machine across America. I wonder if Trump eats them. Anyway, I mean, cookies...who doesn't love them? These things, who doesn't think of cookies when you see them?

Green Giant Green Beans

I have never liked greens bean and I can only eat them fresh. Green Giant Green Beans are just as bad as most fresh green beans. I mean, what can you say about them. I cook them and I eat them. They fill you up and go well with mushrooms. 

the colors, the colors...wrong kind of mushrooms.

Taco Bell Pineapple Whip Freeze

The Taco Bell Pineapple Whip Freeze wasn't very well whipped so it separated making it sweeter to start out with and bland at the end. They made it less than great, but fine for keeping my monster colder longer. 

Yeah, I drank about half this before dropping it into my water bottle for the night. I didn't get to try it with vodka but then unless you whip that in it just wouldn't work. 

These are fine, not great, but on a hot day they must kick real tail.

Rim Rock Farms Chicken Breast Fillets

Rim Rock Farms Chicken Breast Fillets don't tend to be very uniform. I will grant the are delicious, but not uniform. If you're hopping to have chicken burgers then some of them will need more than one piece of chicken.

I would get these again.

Banquet Bone-In Wings Hot & Spicy

Banquet Bone-In Wings Hot & Spicy are about as hot and spicy as a common spoon. This is not to say that they are bad. I mean, I would cook them for longer than the box says. 

Still, the breading comes right off and the insides don't get evenly hot. So, yeah, if you would cook these longer than the box says. That and you only get six of these...or five. Some times you get five.  

All and all, like weed, um, I mean, Pizza and Sex, when wings are bad they're still good.

Ocean Spray 100% Pineapple Juice

Ocean Spray 100% Pineapple Juice is the kind of tart thing one would want to put in a cocktail. I have to say this stuff is nice to have around. That single serving can makes it great to add vodka to. 

All in all, I would say you should try these and see how you like them because they are a great addition to your bar.  I didn't try them with whisky, because I'm out of whisky but then I think they would go better with rum anyway.

Napa Valley Sparkling Natural Mineral Water

Napa Valley Sparkling Natural Mineral Water is the kind of thing that makes you ask yourself "why is that a trademark?" Natural should not be trademarked because then it does not need to be natural.  

Well, this fancy pants water tastes off. I mean, it's okay but not like normal water and not as good for thirst.

El Monterey Shredded Steak and Three Cheese Burrito

El Monterey Shredded Steak and Three Cheese Burrito is underwhelming. I mean, as burritos go it has very little meat and is fine eating. You can see I had two of them. Still, it didn't have much in the way of meat and the cheese was more beans than anything else. 

If you want a burrito these are a quick thing to reach for, but a pale  version of a the real deal.

Little Beijing Sesame Chicken

With Orange Chicken being why most people go to Little Beijing, the Sesame Chicken is often forgotten. It shouldn't be by any means because it has more nutrients and is mildly better for you. If you're looking to eat healthy I would still recommend going for something wit vegetables, but this stuff kicks it's own amount of tail to be sure.

Beach Cliff Sardines in Soybean Oil

Beach Cliff Sardines in Soybean Oil where a thing I got to feed my cats on the day my foster animals went home. I found these surprisingly edible. I mean, I wouldn't go about eating them because of how bad they would make my breath. Still, they didn't make me wont to get sick so win in that regard. 

How can not nasty be a good review? Well, have you ever eaten cat food? No! Why would you do that?

Rip It Tribute Energy

Rip It Tribute Energy is some kind of a citrus flavored beverage that is very summer refreshing. If you want it to keep you up then it will not work for the big caffeine-er, but it will help for some folks.

I like the flavor, but it didn't give me much energy.

Jell-O Strawberry Creme

Jell-O Strawberry Creme is fun to have with coffee on a chilled morning. I don't have many of those in July so I have been looking at the second box of this stuff for a week or two now. 

It's really good pudding but pudding isn't a summer thing is it?

Old El Paso Soft Tortilla Bowl Whole Wheat

Old El Paso Soft Tortilla Bowl Whole Wheat is the kind of party bowl that doesn't have a crunch. The lack of crunch is a good thing because it's harder to get it all over the place, but these don't have much of a flavor. 

You notice them enough so that they don't taste all that great. Still, they get the job done. 

To be honest, if you're making these the way I do with all those vegetables then you shouldn't need the whole wheat. If you're not making them with green and orange with a hint of purple then whole wheat it up. It will make your time on the can a good deal less painful.

Monster Dragon Tea Green Tea

Monster Dragon Tea Green Tea is the thing you need to get through that hot sunny day that want's to make you cower on a dark bathroom with the shower running cold. Don't look at me like that, I'm white, and I don't do well in the sun. 

Anyway, stuff is okay, I've had better, but monster never Disappoints.

Lunderg Family Farms Organic Black Thai Khao Dun Rice

Lunderg Family Farms Organic Black Thai Khao Dun Rice is a premade rice you get in a bag. To be honest it's not that bad. I mean, if you're short on time and don't mind paying way too much for rice this is a fine product. 

I mean, it's rice, what do you say?

Bear Creek Cheddar Potato Soup Bowl

Bear Creek Cheddar Potato Soup Bowl looks so good but then you get to the onions and I mean there are a lot of onions in this soup. I should be Onion Cheddar Potato soup because onion is all you feel in your mouth. 

This kind of soup should be smooth, but it feels all nasty in your mouth. What a let down.

Lunchables Brunchables Bacon and Cheese

Yes, Lunchables, create a new word to make my job harder. Lunchables Brunchables Bacon and Cheese are a thing but that little blueberry muffin you get is out of place. I don't know, I don't often have brunch. Anyway, these are okay, I mean, they are a quick thing to put in your lunch bag and they are something I looked forward to eating. 

All and all, have them with an apple and an orange and you got a good lunch.

Crush Strawberry

Crush Strawberry Soda just sound like some fun stuff. I mean say it: Strawberry Crush! Don't you just feel the party coming on. I mean, no, it doesn't really taste much like strawberry, not that they taste much now days, but oh does this hit the spot.

Pineapple

Pineapple, I've never been a big fan of it because it keeps showing up on my pizza, and I don't like it on my pizza. Never the less they were giving a few away after a food and wine festival and so I took them home. 

Now this was a bit old, but still was an interesting thing to try. Next time I'm going to freeze it and add coconut rum because it was a little on the bland side. 

There you have it, pineapple is bad on pizza and good with rum.

Samuel Adams Hefeweizen

There is something gold but not crisp about this Samuel Adams Hefeweizen. It has a strong bitter taste and a lingering flavor that tells you to sip not drink deep of this brew. This is not a summer beer but more a winter that should be had late at night in the cold. 

I never want to drink this again.  Taste like regret.

Clif Kid Z Bar Caramel Chocolate

Clif Kid Z Bar Caramel Chocolate are the most disappointing things I have ever had with caramel and chocolate in the name. They taste kind of like oatmeal. Not a bad flavor just not a good one. You know, like health food should.

Launch Box Kickin' Chicken Cheddar

Launch Box Kickin' Chicken Cheddar is the idea that you can make a chicken sandwich fun. It's a chicken sandwich. What the heck more could you want? 

Anyway, these are best if you cook them for a bit in the microwave and have them hot. These are kind of unimpressive, but a fast way to add something to your lunch.

Keebler Fudge Stripes cookies Minis Original

Keebler Fudge Stripes cookies Minis Original has a long name, and you know how I feel about long names. So, these elf mini shields will not save you from cookie monster. What will? They are a fine thing to add to your ice coffee moment in the hot July sun. 

Then again, mini cookies are just a way of having less cookie or having cookies on the go and who needs cookies on the go? Eat an apple you fat blog, I say to myself.

New Zero Sugar Kool-Aid Bursts Berry Blue

New Zero Sugar KoolAid Bursts Berry Blue are a chemical nightmare designed to kill minority children. I'm just kidding, but they tasted good and are right out of the science lab. They can't be all that good for you. 

These things have a list of ingredients that I wouldn't want to put in my body, but on the up side they do go well with vodka.

Rip It Energy Tribute Cherry Lime

Rip It Energy Tribute Cherry Lime is the first patriotic thing I found last year to review for this year's 4th of July. This sort of cherry flavored beverage will not keep you up at night but it will go with a good shot of whisky. 

It doesn't have a strong flavor. It's more of a strong after taste. I drink these because they are cheap, but to be honest they're not worth the money.

Lofthouse Delicious Cookies Patriotic


"Patriotic" Cookies by Lofthouse are the kind of thing you see at work when your boss is trying to make the holiday better but doesn't want to spend all that much money. These are a cookie that needs coffee or milk but are an okay treat. For not being all that great it's hard to stop eating them. Buy these to bulk up the party but don't take them home or you'll start to look like me.

Mission Organics Blue Corn Tortilla Chips

They say that blue food is good for memory but i don't remember anything abnormal about these Mission Organics Blue Corn Tortilla Chips. They do add a little novelty to the party and I have always liked getting them. 

They give me everything I want out of a tortilla chip, you can dip them.

Sobieski Toasted Coconut Polish Vodka

Sobieski Toasted Coconut Polish Vodka found it's way to my local discount store, and I had to try it. I'm glad I did. I'll admit that I drink in moderation but it's a workable vodka that adds itself to orange or cranberry. In fact I recommend you have some with orange and cranberry to relax after a hard day of work. 

I'll sure as hell be doing that and I'm not worrying about the children being home for the summer.
