Kirkland Signature American Vodka
If you'r thinking of a Vodka for the new year this one will do well for your money. Kirkland Signature American Vodka is a smooth drink with a solid finish and no major aftertaste. Where as I never was big on shots I have this often with cola and other sodas, and it always fits well without making it's presence to overt.

M&M's Coffee Nut
I ran across M&M's 'Coffee Nut' variety at a discount store and figured that I just had to try them. As a coffee lover these are good stuff. I have to say that these are some of the best M&M's I've had.
I'm not sure they would take the place of the classic flavors, but if you run into these and like chocolate and coffee they are a must try.

Victor's Villa Texas Fries
I didn't know what I was ordering when I asked for Victor's Villa 'Texas Fries' and the fellow at the register gave me a look like I was crazy. I guess most folks never ask for these. I can't see why.
I have to admit that pickled peppers are not my bag and I gave most of those away but you get bacon and cheese as well and were as chili fries would be better I think these are rather good.

Victor's Villa Bacon Double Cheeseburger
Victor's Villa Bacon Double Cheeseburger is a lot of burger. It's not the best burger I've had but at least I know when I eat one I'm not putting as much money in some corporate sleazebags bank account.
Now I will say that I wish it was cooked a bit hotter to give the beef a crunch, but you can't have everything. Good burger just not top notch.

Taco Bell Hash Brown
The Taco Bell Hash Brown is still not a McDonald's hash brown. It tries hard and get's somewhere close but it's just not cooked at the same temperature giving it less crunch. It also tries to make up for this by being larger but it's just not cutting the mustered.
May be it would be better with mustered. Now I got to try that!

Winter Oreo
The 'Winter Oreo' is, as far as I can see, an Oreo with red filling. Other than the box and snow man on the back these are less winter than normal Oreo's that have a white center. I mean, snow is white or brown right? Look, I live in LA. The only snow I see is man made.
What does red have to do with winter? They didn't say Christmas Oreo did they?!

McDonald's Egg McMuffin
The McDonald's Egg McMuffin is an English Muffin with cheese, an egg, and a slice of ham. It has less flavor than the Sausage McMuffin and I haven't eaten one in years before I got this one for this review.
This is three hundred and ten Calories of American morning. It's okay, on the bland side, but will get the job done.

Takeya Thermo Flask
Takeya Thermo Flask is one of the more durable water bottles I've used. They suffer the dishwasher poorly but the damage has been whole cosmetic. They keep cold beverages cold for very long periods of time and have a large enough opening to fit a good sized bottle brush.
I like these so much that I now have four of them three or witch you can see here. The black one on the bottom I painted green to keep folks from swiping it at the gym.

Glenfiddich Scotch 12 Year Old
Glenfiddich Scotch 12 Year Old is a fines Scotch, and I need to make the point that the bottle I had was found abandoned for at least ten years.
Well, I can't say much for it but this is my first Scotch. Again, I wouldn't drink it in shots and I can't say that it was all that powerful. As a nix drink it has a harder flavor and is more noticeable than Whiled Turkey 101.
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, but I will put out that this is an elegant drink for guests.

Little Debbie Pumpkin Spice Rolls
Little Debbie Pumpkin Spice Rolls are underwhelming. The spice part is a little misleading and the pumpkin part is just a fraud. This could have had a much stronger flavor to go with my coffee.
To be honest these are okay. If they come on sale and you don't have a weight problem then go for it. If you're fat like me give them a pass.

Oreo Red Velvet
The Red Velvet Oreo is a major improvement over normal Oreos. You would think this to be impossible given that a Red Velvet Oreo should be an Oreo with food coloring in the mix.
However, the cream cheese filling is what make the cookie and this cookie reminds be of what Oreos were like before the cookie cot to dry to be eaten without milk.
Sadly, I found these on sale at a discount store and they will be hard to find but my rotund self needs no Oreos.

Peanut Butter Oreo
The Peanut Butter Oreo is something of an upgrade over the normal Oreo but still not an Oreo I want to eat without something to dunk them in. I have to admit I'm not big on Oreo's now days even if eating them pisses off Donald Trump.
Still, if you're an Oreo fan these things will knock the roof off your mouth. Me, I kind of shrugged them off but I got them to put in my Christmas baking anyway.

Holly Nog Original Egg Nog Flavored Wine Specialty
Holly Nog Original Egg Nog Flavored Wine Specialty has a very long name. Even with it's very long name I think that this will put some kick in your holiday. I rank it above any other Nog I had in 2015. I may have had better by the time I post this, but at the end of 2015 when I was writing this the best Nog I had was Holly Nog Original Egg Nog Flavored Wine Specialty.

Maggie's Pub Garden Vegetable Combo
With mushrooms, zucchini, and cauliflower the Maggie's Pub Garden Vegetable Combo is like a plate of gold nuggets you can eat. I will say that I could have used more mushrooms and both my brother and I loved this plate.
The dipping souse is a big part of this dish because alone the vegetables are on the bland side, but I believe that is in the tradition of Irish food.
All and all, get one of these because they're great!

Maggie's Pub Nicolas Copernicus - Polish Kielbasa Sausage
The Nicolas Copernicus at Maggie's Pub is a toasted Polish Sausage sandwich and I would say it is a good one but I would rather have the Sausage cooked to a crisp.
If you are going to get this I would be very clear on how you like it, because this was under done. I feel that Maggie's shines on it seafood menu, but the sandwiches are good as well. Still, know what you are getting and know what you like.

Maggie's Pub Fruit
I ordered the vegetable of the day and they asked if I still wanted the coleslaw that came with my sandwich. I said no as I have never understood coleslaw and this came in it's place. This was great compared to coleslaw but I couldn't find it on the menu.
In any case, I think this is just canned fruit but it was a welcome change.

Maggie's Pub Vegetable of the Day
I get the feeling that at Maggie's Pub few people order the Vegetable of the Day. I could have microwaved this myself. They added nothing to these to make them different from what I would get in a frozen pack at the store.
I think they were just added to the menu for folks who get dragged to places by their friends and want to eat healthy. I wouldn't have ordered them if not for the fact that I want to try everything on the Maggie's menu.

Maggie's Pub Birthday Cake
Had this last year, don't worry I'm writing this a year in advance, and it was so-so. It had a great spectacle with the sparkler but otherwise left me flat.
It is the most basic cake you can have without making it without flavoring at all and was on the stale side.
Now I love Maggie's Pub but next year I'm going to suggest we go somewhere else for the anniversary of my birth.

Equal Exchange Organic Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Look down at the chocolate you no doubt have in your hand and ask "did a child slave pick the beans for this?" If you honestly don't know than you should by Equal Exchange 'Organic Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips' because you know no slave labor when into your chocolaty treat. I will say that these are just about the same as other chocolate chips you get.
I can't say they are better for cookies, but they are better for who you are as a person.
