Oscar Myer Chicken, Beef, Pork Baloney

Oscar Myer Baloney was my go to lunch meat as a kid. I don’t know if it was this everything but the farm’s dog kind, and this doesn’t taste right to me so I don’t think it was. I couldn’t say what kind I got back then because my mom had passed an the old man would just take me to the store to buy what I wanted.

This has less flavor than the Baloney I had as a kid, but I did have that with white bread that had almost no flavor to go with it at the time.

Truth be told, I guess one should have low expectations of baloney. It’s the food of the poor to start with in a country where even the poor can have meat. Makes me remember how lucky I am and how ugly the world can be.

 

Reign Storm Peach Nectarine

Reign Storm Peach Nectarine is some peachy stuff. You can really taste the peach but not so much else and you can tell that this is a zero sugar beverage and it is refreshing.

I have to say that this is fine. It brings the party well enough. It can make the bad vodka drinkable. 

 

Nancy's Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt

Nancy's Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt is yogurt. I mean, it has the quality of being plain yogurt. I guess I’d call it good, but as yogurt goes it is what one would expect.

I don’t think I need much out of yogurt other than it just being something to, but my fruit in but this is great for that.

 

Seattle’s Best Toasted Hazelnut Coffee

Seattle’s Best Toasted Hazelnut Coffee smells of hazelnut. Well, it smells like hazelnut coffee which has a clear smell to it.

It tastes nothing like hazelnut coffee, and being a light roast it doesn’t taste that much like coffee. Not everyone likes their coffee black as death like me.

This was on sale and it is coffee in a time when coffee is more expensive, and I’m glad to have it on the cheap. I would drink this myself but I wouldn’t serve it to a guest.

 

Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Hot Cocoa

I never knew much about oatmeal but when you look at Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Hot Cocoa you say “that’s all you get?” These little things are the right amount of simple carbs for a start to the morning. I ate most of them dry.

 

If you used them the way I do and add fruit and yogurt they can be a part of a balanced meal. I’m not sure if they will be worth dirtying what bowls you have as most people don’t have one small enough for this kind of thing.

 

Anyway, flavor wise I would call them chocolate but wouldn’t say hot chocolate comes to mind.

 

Castello Garlic & Herb Whipped Cheese Dip

 I almost never eat Cheese Dip but this Castello Garlic & Herb Whipped Cheese Dip was on sale and there was no hummus I hadn’t tried to be had. Whipped or  not cheese dip is just not as good for you as hummus.

This dip sure had a lot of flavor and it was very good even if it was the kind of thing that makes you need to brush your teeth after. I still found it to be a bit much for chips and you needed good fresh cucumber to scoop this but if you have everything right it is delightful.

I think this would be welcome at a dinner party but I also think it’s going to be what you put on the carrots.
