Belgian Waffles

Posted in Cafes, Bakeries, Ice Cream..., Food Items, Shops & Markets, tagged , on April 16, 2018 | Leave a Comment »

One of the delights of downtown Brussels is their waffle stores.  Here, you can eat freshly made waffles with a variety of toppings.  A big variety.  The ones I tried were delicious but a pain in the but to eat on the go, specially as the plastic forks provided were too weak to easily cut […]

Bottom Round is Not the Best Idea for Milanesas

Posted in Food Items, tagged , on April 16, 2018 | Leave a Comment »

I usually use thinly cut top round to make milanesas.  While the cut has an annoying fat vein in the middle, it’s very tender, the version sold by Safeway is very thin and it just works great for milanesas. This week, however, Safeway had thinly cut bottom round at half the price as top round […]

Trader Joe’s Frozen Foods

Posted in Food Items, tagged , on March 2, 2015 | Leave a Comment »

We did a major Trader Joe’s shopping trip yesterday, and I got quite a lot of frozen items to try. I haven’t been into cooking for months now, and I don’t see the muse hitting me any time soon. So frozen food it is.  I thought I’d share my opinions of what I’ve gotten.  I’ll […]

Lightlife Crispy Gold’n Chik’n Nuggets Review

Posted in Food Items, tagged , , on January 17, 2015 | Leave a Comment »

My 12-yo vegetarian child has been pretty reluctant to try vegetarian frozen entrees. She’s particularly offended by fake meats.  She’s a vegetarian for ethical reasons, and she doesn’t see the point in eating fake animals.  But she probably was tired of eating pasta, so she gave this entree a try.  She was underwhelmed.  She said […]

Jimmy Dean Frozen foods

Posted in Food Items, Grocery Outlet, tagged on January 17, 2015 | Leave a Comment »

I’m once again in a funk about cooking, so I’m back at eating frozen meals from time to time.  Grocery Outlet is now carrying the Jimmy Dean Delights brand, which I hadn’t seen before.  It’s pretty much just like every other frozen food brand – forgettable. I had their pulled pork sandwiches in chipotle bbq […]

Tea, lovely tea: Reviews of ESP Emporium flavored teas

Posted in Drinks, Food Items, tagged , , , on December 27, 2014 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve never been much of a fan of flavored teas, I like black tea enough as it is.  I’ll make an exception for Earl Grey, but that’s about it.   I didn’t even begin tasting flavored teas until we started going, more or less regularly, to the Golden Tea Garden in Hayward.  The owner is a […]

Exotic Drinks Review: Verka Mango Lassi, Coco Passion Fruit Drink &

Posted in Drinks, Food Items, tagged , on July 7, 2014 | Leave a Comment »

My last visit to Santos Spice market ended with us buying several “exotic” drinks to try.  My oldest daughter loves trying new things, and while these weren’t cheap, they turned out to be very good. My daughter loves mango lassis, and Verka Mango Lassi is pretty good.  It actually tasted more like a mango yogurt […]
