Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Scratch scratch.
Grumble grumble, SNIFF, grumble grumble. GRRRRRR.
SHHHHHHHHH! Stop it!
Slam! ( lid down on the toilet for one of the guys must
have been the last one in here) GRRRRR. mumble mumble.
( Water running) Grumble, grrrrrrrrr. SIGH. Pound. Pound.
Pound. Grrrrrrrr.
Alight, I know you are all wondering what in the heck is
going on about now. I just thought I would share the first couple
of minutes of my day with you. Every Morning pretty much goes
the same way and this right here, this very unflattering play
by play is mild in comparison to how Johns would go. Sad
to say though, I can't post his with out using some pretty
colorful keys and I might have to pass out a chuck the
yuck bag or two! I think the best thing to do is move
on and just let you know we are Coffee people. Coffee
people in a big way. Now I have cut back over the years
for I used to be much worse. I am down to about only
3 or 4 pots a day. I used to be closer to 10 when I
was working. Worse then that was about at least one of
those pots would be considered Espresso since we had a
machine at work and I would drink about 6 doubles a day.
One Friday night I was so bad I was on the Expediting
line during the dinner rush. I was calling the orders so
fast my cooks were about ready to drop dead from a
heart attack and when I was not calling the orders I was
talking to whatever server who happened to be a within
distance. No servers, cooks in the weeds? No problem,
I would talk to the tables closest to the line about 10
feet away. Dinner rush on a Friday night starts at about
4:30 and runs to 8:30 PM and somewhere around 7 a
waitress whom I liked and trusted walked up to the line,
grabbed my Grande Starbucks Cup I had kept pouring
Coffee into, turned and dropped it right into the trash.
"Your done!" She said cheerily as she placed a glass
of water in its spot and the rest of the staff broke into
applause. So I knew I had a problem and had to cut back.
My ten pots went to 3 or 4. It isn't my fault really, I
will blame the first person who told me Coffee was a good
thing to drink if you want to lose weight. I was around 13
and rushed to get some and have been drinking it ever since.
Now I know the diet thing is a bunch of hogwash but Coffee
is a darn good drink and like all things if done in moderation
is really enjoyable. It is also not the Coffee's fault that
I drank so much. I don't want you guys to worry that if
you drink a cup you will soon need to be in a 12 step
program or you could end up in the big house for trying
to top off your carry out cup from Starbucks at Panara Bread
for you just need a fix man! I am just a drinker in general.
If I was not drinking Coffee I would be drinking soda, if
not soda, tea, if not that whatever the next item down the
list would be. I have always been that way. I feel like if I
do not always have something liquid in my hands I will
dehydrate and wither away at any given moment. The only
thing Coffee is responsible for is being the best tasting
beverage out of the list I just rambled on about. Unless
my Mother makes it I really don't think there is such a
thing as bad tasting Coffee, only degrees of good. I buy
cheap Coffee, I buy the good stuff, I buy just about
everything there is.
Now I do have my favorites. I used to be a swear by
Starbucks, then Caribou Coffee then for the last couple
of 5 years Dunkin Donuts. Though I am always looking
for a new trick to toss in my bag of treats. When I got
the chance to review Dad's Roast I first had to giggle for
who would of thought Dad could do anything better then
Mom. Sorry Dad's out there, it is just been my experience
that Dad's tend to mess things up so Mom's will never
ask them to do it again. Then I read a little bit about
them and I must admit, I liked what they said. Now I
may settle for any old Coffee out there. I can't help it,
I love the stuff, but that does not mean that I can't tell
the difference between one Coffee to the next. Is also does
not mean that I don't know when one brand is better then
another. If that were the case I would not be so found of
Dunkin Donuts for so long. I have tried fresh roasted
Coffee before and I know it is good, great, well even better
then that in fact and I would love to drink it each and every
time I had Coffee but the problem is it is expensive.
Really Expensive
I pay about $7.99 a pound right now and go through 2 or
3 a week. Now the last time I bought fresh roasted it was
$15.99 a pound and I am sure you can see the difference
there. I can take a couple of bucks more a pound, hey,
fresh is worth it, but twice the price? Ouch! So I am reading
on the Dad's site and see it is no where near as expensive
as the places I had seen before. Not even close. In fact you
can get it for less then 10 bucks a pound. So I am already
at fresh roast and stuck there and then inexpensive?
Hey, that I can handle! They also offer a large selection of
items to choose from. Dad's Roast has all the best
and also carry flavored blends and Espresso. One of the
coolest features on the site is you can order your own
personal custom blend. That's right folks, you pick the
bean or the beans and the flavor. That will do it, no
wait, there is more, pick the grind and the roast too!
So of you wanted to you could get a Mint, Sumatra in
a Turkish Grind and an Espresso Dark Roast. Now try
getting that any where else.
How does it taste?
Oh-My-Gawd!
Look, I got the Coffee last week and could have
turned the review in early. It is an easy review to
do for Coffee is pretty much a food product and not
a whole lot of research goes into the making of a food
product review, you either like it or you don't. There is
not a lot of pro's and con's to write about there so I
don't have to put the normal 10-15 hours into the review
I normally have to do. This could have been done over the
weekend even with the chaos I have went through lately.
Hour tops and I would have been done. Rowan needs
a nap, BAM, finished by the time she wakes up but
truthfully, I was too busy. I was drinking the Coffee. I
couldn't stop. Not even for the lousy hour it would have
taken to write the review. It is delicious. When they say
fresh they mean it. Even better, if you grind it yourself and
order the bean whole like I did. Now you have a fresh
bean cooked just for you and shipped out ASAP. They
sent me an email letting me know they were roasting my
blend on Friday, Saturday evening I was enjoying a cup.
Yeah, your right, they could have been faster. ( ROLLS
EYES) Speedy Gonzales has nothing on these guys.
So let's do a quick check list here:
Delicious Coffee
Super fast can you say I barely had time to blink delivery
Freshly Roasted to Order.
You pick all the details or your order
Affordable
AWESOME IN EVERY WAY!
I am in love with Dad's Roast. My worst fear is this
stuff is so good I am going to be back up to 10 pots a
day because I can't help myself. I also kinda liked the
fact they have all sorts of information on the site so
you can educate yourself on Coffee. Health benefits even
so I can justify the fact I see 10 pots in my future.
How to store your Coffee so it will last longer as if you
have to with their delivery time but hey, you might be
moving to a shack in the middle of no where for a while
and have to stock up and take it with you. That would
be a good reason! There is just lots of fun facts and
things I didn't know and as I enjoyed a cup or four going
over all that information was fun! So my final word here
is this stuff is incredible and I can't get enough. I know
you guys will love it too even if you are not half the fiend
I am!
Another good way to try Coffee is to win it! Dad's Roast
is going to give one of my lucky readers a gift card for
2 bags so they can pick out their own blend and try it
them selves. To enter just head over to the site and

Now I am a huge Coffee Drinker and I know
I have to cut back and I have been looking for ways
to do so. The problem is I have been drinking it for so
many years I am afraid. In fact I got this product review
a few weeks ago and yes, I know I have had a lot
going on lately and I am behind in things due to that
but THAT is not the reason it has taken me the time
it has to do this review. Coffee is my comfort food
and I was afraid I would love this product and not have
my fall back of coffee any longer. I am so used to saying
I will get back to you after I have had a couple of cups
of Coffee as a way of buying myself time I wouldn't know
what to do with anything else. Would other words even come
out of my mouth? Can I even form them? Who knows!
Knocken knees here and everything! Over the last
couple of weeks I have pulled this out of the fridge then
put it back in, pulled it out and back again. I almost
hyperventilated once as I held it in my hands.
Breath Michelle
Breath.
Today is the day. I had to do it. No more little chicken
little, I made it and drank it and it was FABULOUS!
I think I am going to have a problem. I have never
been good at goodbyes. How do I break it to coffee?
Maybe I can share my time with both of them? I am
so torn. What product is this you ask that has turned my
life so upside down? What has brought about this turmoil?
What product has ended my love affair with Coffee or at
least opened my eyes to other possibilities for if this stuff
tastes so good what else is out there I have been missing?
It is called Oregon Chai and it is scrumptious! Oh, my
goodness is it good! Now don't get me wrong I have
always liked tea. In the warmer months I drink it from about
10 am on for Coffee and Summer days just don't go all
that well together but plain and black and iced was the only
way I have ever drank it. I never liked sweet tea or flavored
tea or even lemon and that is weird for I have no problem
with coffee drinks so one would think, but noooooooo, only
regular old ice tea for me. So this Chai stuff has been
teasing me. I hear it is good but isn't it sorta like a flavor?
Now for Hot Tea, I just never got into it. So unless I
tried the Chai cold I was for sure I wouldn't like it. Then
when I broke down today and gave it a whirl I tried it
and Hot and it is like a breath of fresh air, so different
then coffee but still such a comfort. How can I have two
loves? I have no clue but there you have it, I can't put
the stuff down and have been drinking it all day. In fact
I was sent two of the concentrates and I drank a whole
one today alone. Black Tea is strong, it does not have
the bite coffee does but it is strong and I think I phrased
that wrong. It has bite, just not that bitter coffee one, it
is smoother and well, more eloquent. I think that would
be the best way to describe Black Tea. Now Chai is
Black Tea made um, er, sexy? I can't think of a better
way to describe it there either. It is spicy where it needs
to be and smooth as silk other times and sweet swirled in
and with some delicious flavors, it can be served either
hot or cold. Can you think of a better way to describe
that? I loved the fact it was reminiscent of a latte and
I felt as if I was easing away from my coffee habit and
not going cold turkey and like Coffee drinks you can do
just as much with Chai and that was also another plus
for me. Unlike coffee though, where I hate it served cold,
the Chai I can totally see and think I would love to taste
over ice and I sorta regret the fact I drank it all hot and
didn't save any to try that way. You notice I say sorta and
it isn't because I mean not really it is more because I so
enjoyed drinking it hot that Yes, I would like to have cold
but was just as satisfied with it hot! So satisfied that I
could not stop drinking it all day long.
The Chai was also a snap too make and since I am
a novice I can't promise making it from scratch would be
like that but Oregon Chai was faster then coffee and much
more easy all the way around. If you are planning to drink it
cold it is as simple as open and pour, hot is simply heat
and serve. Just a couple of minutes to one delicious drink!
Oregon Chai comes in the liquid concentrate or powder
and in several different variety's such as Vanilla, slightly
Sweet and Sugar Free. I got a chance to try the regular
and the sugar free and was delighted with both. Another
thing I was happy with was the Oregon Chai website for
not only did they explain chai to me in detail they also
offered a slew of recipes for each season and different
ways to enjoy the chai. I felt like Starbucks for Tea
and with this stuff they better start sweating over at the
coffee houses for it was so good I might just have to
totally convert! Oregon Chai also has a Vegan Chai and
other flavors such as Peppermint and some pretty nifty
gift sets for any Chai lovers on your shopping lists!
They use only the finest ingredients and are 90 percent
organic and these guys are so good they are a big part
of the reason the Chai made it into the new Merriam
Webster's Dictionary! Now how is that for a reference?
I will tell you what as a die hard coffee drinker for going
on 30 years if they can make me re-think my breakfast
drink they can do wonders with people not as closed
minded! YUM is all I can say, YUM!
Oregon Chai would also like one of my readers to know
how truly delicious they are. One lucky reader is going to
win a gift pack that includes 2 of the concentrates, 2 of
the powders and a T-shirt too boot! To enter just head over
to their web site and take a look around then come back
here and post it in a comment. The contest will start tonight

Easter is on the way, almost here, right around
the bend and I would love to tell you its meaning.
Really, I would. I was raised Roman Catholic and
my Grandparents were founding members of our Church
and not only that my Grandmother taught there, I went
to the school there and it was a huge part of my life.
The meaning of Easter is a beautiful one and something
each person needs to discover in his or her own way. It
is not something you come to a blog like mine where you
normally come for product reviews and light hearted banter
and just plain help and friendship. Here we try to keep things
simple and Easter is not a simple subject unless you break
it down to how the kids see it. Yeah, they know the
story's I know. We all teach our children the meaning of
Christmas and Easter is not just about presents and candy
but come on, kids are kids and they look forward to that
part and you can't take away some of the few simple joys
kids today get. So lets not talk about the real meaning lets
talk about kids and candy instead and something you
guys can all do together! This year when you are making
your eggs make some candy too! Not just any old candy
but a favorite candy of kids everywhere. Something so
recognizable even little toddlers can be seen standing next
to their Moms and Dads and pleading, " Mom, Dad,
Can I have a piece of Bubble gum?" So this year with
your colored eggs make some brightly colored bubble gum too!
I feel like I am seeing little question marks popping up
all over. Loads of my readers all wondering how in the
world can they make bubble gum. Isn't that a difficult thing
to make? This isn't like making a Chocolate Bunnie where
you just melt it down and pout it in a mold, this is Bubble
gum. Is it even do-able? Well guess what it is do-able and it
is also easy as pie too! Don't fill your kids up on
colored eggs, fill them up with Glee! Glee Gum that is!
There is a little web store called Glee Gum where they
sell kits so you can make home-maid candy and bubble
gum with your kids. Think it might take forever and be
really time consuming? Boy are you wrong just like I
was, it can be done in minutes and it is a lot of fun!
Want more? Sure thing folks! Not only can it be a lot
of fun it can be really educational too! On the site they
have a whole educational guide so not only are the kits
great for home and some time with the kids with a
totally new kind of craft project they would be awesome
in day cares and schools and Brownies and Girl scouts,
as well as Cub scouts and Boy scouts! They can learn
all about Gum, where it came from and how it is
processed into the stuff we chomp on today. They also
have kits for Gummie Candy and Chocolate or you can
just buy some of their all Natural Gum and profess you
did it your self just like I did in a fishing contest once.
The guys went one way and us gals another, whom ever
had the bigger trout by the end of the day had to cook,
clean and do the dishes and lucky for us ladies I knew
a local place that all you needed to do was toss in your
pole and then some pellets and you had a huge fish right
on your hook where you paid by the pound. WE won.
Not I don't recommend telling that kind of fib to your
kids but they do sell the gum and hubby is an okay target!
In truth though, we made the Gum here with the
kit and it was easy as pie and was Yummy to boot. We
had a blast and now that Andrew is getting older and older
and I really wish he would stop that but since he isn't now
that he is getting up there it is getting harder to get him
to do stuff with me and this one he loved! The only thing
I was sad about is though Rowan thinks she is all big she
is just a little too little for Bubble Gum but now that I know
where to find them I can try again later with her. Or, hum,
chocolate might be fun to do with her and I know Andrew
would be in! With the Gum it really didn't take long at
all for everything you need is in the kit. You just mix and
toss in the microwave and then shape how you want. You
can add colors or leave plane or flavors as well. Get a
little bit of imagination and just have a blast. No matter
what you decided it is going to taste good for the gum as
is tastes great and since we didn't have the colors and limited
flavors we went with that. Andrew did roll his into chicklet
size pieces though for he was determined to do that and
to keep it from sticking we used some powdered sugar and
Yummy, almost drooled a little there. It turned out great!
Glee Gum also has some really cool stuff to check out
on the web site too! You and your kids have got to
check out from Tree to Glee for that was totally interesting
and being a huge discovery channel family we all read
that, even John who only shook his head and left the
room when we announced we were making gum had to
come in for the Tree to Glee page. Really really neat!
They also have a lot of fun facts that your kids will
love to spring on their friends next time they share
a piece of their home maid gum! Just silly things like:
Humans are the only animals on earth that chew gum.
If you give a monkey a piece he will chew it for a
couple of minutes, then he will take it out and stick
it to his hair. Ha ha! Now my son must have been
born part Monkey for I have yanked a few pieces out
of his hair, just last............... ah never mind!
Anyway you slice it, making your own gum is a blast!
Next time your kids are bored and you want to find something
the whole family can do make some Gum, or Chocolate or
even some Gummy Candy and watch them light up in smiles!
Glee Gum is going to let on of my readers test out making
their own gum too! To enter just head over to the site and
take a look around and then come back here and post what
you have learned in a comment. The contest will start tonight
and run to Midnight on May 7th.
USA and 18 and older can enter daily and the winner

Hey guys and gals, now normally I tell you guys
a little story or offer some background that helps you
to understand my previous experience with a product.
If I have never tried it before I tell you why I wanted
to and if I did I tell you what I thought the pros and
con's were. With this review I am going to skip all that.
For starters it is Toffee and I am not a fan of Toffee.
It isn't that I hate it for I don't it is just that I am not
huge on it. For starters it hurts my teeth. It is hard and
well, just too hard and I avoid it like I do hard candy for
the same reasons. It is also sweet. I mean too sweet. At
least the brands I had tried before were. When a person
offered it to me I would take a little piece to be polite and
suck on it as opposed to biting it for something that hard
AND that sweet was sure to play havoc with my already
delicate teeth. Now I can tell if I like the taste with just
a little piece and yes, I do like the taste of it but I just
can't get past the whole sugar explosion and tooth pain so
once I have that little taste I say thank you and try to
forget. Once in a while I had had some that was better then
just good and I have even went so far as to contemplate if
it was worth the dental anguish I was sure to go through later
and to this point in my life I have not tasted a Toffee good
enough to make me cave. So I thought this review would be
just the facts, yum tastes good and they have this too. I had
even asked my Mother to help me out for she is a Toffee nut
unlike me and bad teeth or not she can't help herself. She has
more of a sweet tooth then I do though. So my review was
supposed to be a highlight of the company and I like the
Toffee and my Mother says it is fantastic. The box comes and
I open it and noticed it looked a little different. Powdered sugar
was sprinkled on it and I thought, "Yikes, even more sweet, my
teeth will hate me!" First thought in my mind, lets get this
over with and I will give my Mom the rest.
I picked off a corner piece that didn't look too big
but would still afford me a good sample so I would know if
it was thumbs up or thumbs down. Put it in my mouth and
bit down. First thing I noticed was it is not nearly as hard
as other Toffees I have tried. It was almost soft.
"Oh my Gawwwwwwwwwdddd!"
Andrew comes running up the stairs. "What, what happened?"
"Nothing." Munch, munch, on second piece now. "Go back
to your room." Munch, Munch."
"Ah, Okay. What are you eating?"
"Nothing," Munch, munch, I turned so my back was towards
him.
"No, really Mom. What is it." He asked as he tried to get back
in front of me.
"NOTHING!" (3rd Piece) Munch, Munch. " Can't I have any
peace?"
"Geez, fine. I only wanted to try. You have a whole box
of nothing there. But if you are going to be selfish about it."
"Your right, Andrew, I only have one box of it. If I had more
I would share!"
"Mom, what would you say if I acted like that?"
GUILT. The boy was right. If the shoe was on the other
foot I would give him the whole if you don't have enough for
everyone don't eat it speech. Some lines about sharing and
all sorts of other hoopla I regretted saying about then. As I was
mulling it over the phone started to ring and I handed him the
box and an evil glare so he knew not to take too much.
I picked up the phone and it was my Mother.
"Hi Mom."
"This is Toffee? This stuff is killer!"
Oh no, now my Mom knows.
"Toffee? Where did you get Toffee?" Andrew was standing there
munching away on my Toffee. I was a little stressed for I couldn't even
make him stop without making a scene and if I did my Mother would
know just how good it was.
"Yeah Mom, there isn't much left though."
"You better save me some!"
I don't think there will be enough, they didn't send but a little
box."
"No they didn't Mom, they sent this here box. This is at least
a pound maybe more."
"You ate a whole pound of Toffee Michelle?"
NO Mom, I mean yes, NO, I don't know! Gezz, Thanks
Andrew." I said as I pried the box out of his big mouthed
hands!
"You had better save me some Michelle!"
"Yeah Mom." I gave Andrew another evil glare as
he went for the box.
The Moral of the story is this is not Toffee this is ambrosia!
Food of the Gods!
I, a person who only mildly liked Toffee and one who would never
go out of her way to get some, heck, unless it was chocolate
I really didn't care for sweets anyways. Okay, chocolate and
those Marshmallow Ice cream Cone candy things but that was
it for me. Now I was hooked and forced to share with not only
one person but two and I had never been so happy John was
out of town and I HAD TO SHARE! Thanks to my son who
again tried to touch my box of Toffee. So the pro and the cons
here are:
Pro-This is the best Toffee you have ever had in your entire
life. Okay, maybe that isn't the right way to put it. Here is
a better way, THIS is the BEST CANDY I have ever had in
my entire life. This stuff passed up Delicious at the starting
gate and I could not stop eating it. I had to force myself to
put a small piece away for my Mother or it would not be
there for her and I still do not have to see her for another 12
hours so I can't even promise it will be there then. It is
truly that good. Now the Almonds Rock in it and I do love
them but I love Almonds anyways. It is the Toffee itself. It is
smooth and buttery and just hard enough but still soft and not
chewy at all. It didn't even hurt my teeth. I felt like my brain
and taste buds had a 1 on 1 with the teeth and said, "hey buddy,
you make one complaint the candy will be out of here so keep
your yap shut if you know what is good for you." Now the
teeth listened for they know the brain and taste-buds could do
some pretty nasty things if they wanted too. I hope that is
enough pros for you because honestly I would rather be eating
the Toffee instead of telling you about it. The stuff is............
fantastic!
Cons- Your whole family will be at each others throats and
fighting over the dang stuff so make sure to get enough and
you will also find you will eat the whole box if left with it
for more then a couple of minutes and though I am terrified to
check the calories on this stuff I know it has to be high for anything
that rich and delectable has to be up there in the stratosphere.
I really didn't care though, diet or not, for I thought with all
the ducking a weaving I was doing trying to make off with the
box burned enough calories. Another Con is you will find yourself
lying to your family and saying it is gone when you are
secretly stashing some away. Not for long though for the
piece I hid was all I could think about to it was gone and now
all I can think about is I never told my Mother just how big the
piece I put aside is and I could eat some of that and she would
never know.
This stuff is the best I have ever had and now I am anxious
to try the rest of their stuff. Enstrom's also has Chocolates,
Caramels and Popcorn WITH THIS TOFFEE ON IT! and all sorts
of other items. They also have mint melt-aways my all time favorite
way to eat chocolate and Truffles, my next favorite way. These guys
have been making their Toffee for 3 generations and felt they
finally perfected it in 1960 and if I had known it has been around
that long I would have been knee deep in it before now. They put
a lot of love into their Toffee and it shows and they keep this
a family tradition. I am now working on a way to get Andrew
married off to someone in their family for I need to get a better
connection here. The have gift packs and collections and loads of
ways to order your candy and have been shipped around the
world and I think if you put what I just ate a ton of today next
to any other confection they would blow them out of the water.
Even Godiva would get back on her horse and run for the hills.
They even have sugar free but I will be darned if I am ever going
to eat anything but this Toffee. Okay, I will eat the rest of the
stuff they make but just in case I will have some Toffee on
stand bye so I can cleanse my pallet with some yummy
goodness in between bites. For Mothers Day my wish is to
lay in a vat of this stuff and eat my way out. I know I will
be as big as a house by then but hey, I still have a lot
of maternity clothes around here so I will muddle through.
YES folks it is that good!
Don't believe me? You can try for yourself. Enstrom's is
going to let one of my readers get the same yummy box as
I got. All you have to do is to go to their site and take a look
around and then come back here and post what you think will
be your favorite item in a comment. Then when the winner gets
their box they are welcome to taste a piece then send the rest
to me! Okay, it is all there but a piece would be nice!! I did
go through the agony of sampling it first for you to make sure
it was alright! Okay, fine, eat it all! Gezzz! The contest is
going to start tonight and run to Midnight on April 23rd.

Who has guys in the house? Who has
guys that are into football? Ugh, I feel for you
for those weeks when football are on have got
to be the longest of my life. Not only do they
take over the TV and become sacks of lazy potato's
who would not help me with anything even if I lit
their sneakers on fire they also eat all day long
and drag that food into the living room and make
the biggest mess in the world. These guys who
are so lacksa daisy and have no structure at all
in anything they do have this perfect down to the
minute routine they do every single Sunday. First
thing, make a great breakfast, ( I clean up) second
thing run up to the store and get supplies. When they
get back they set up their snacking table for the
game. Once again I am left cleaning up the total mess
they make. Andrew has to have his Salsa in one bowl,
chips in the next and then a bowl of cheese to
dip everything in. John on the other hand has to
spread all his Chip on a sheet pan and then mix
some bean stuff with a cheese stuff and cook it
and then drizzle his Salsa on top. Now he just sets
everything up for Half time for that is when the
snacks come out. What cracks me up is these two
have never agreed on any food item ever, in fact
when John cooks Andrew eats a sandwich no matter
what it is. There could not be two people with tastes
as different as these two but the one thing they have
in common is they both have to have the chips and
the salsa. It is a must have. In fact Salsa is huge
period at my house on a lot of things. Potato's, chips,
bread, in soups and chili and tacos and every other
kind of food you could think of. It also can't be just
any Salsa. They each have brands they prefer and the
each have to get their own jar on Sundays. I could never
understand how they thought it was normal to spend 30 bucks
on snack foods every Sunday but they do. Now Andrew
is more adventurous when it comes to salsa and he will
try anyone that claims it is hot at least once. John on
the other hand has two brand he will stick too and is so
picky if they don't carry those brands he will skip the
Salsa all together. I think they are both ridiculous and
yeah, I love Salsa but I have never been a fanatic about
it to the point these guys are. They will go so far as to
hide their bottles under their bed so nobody else can touch
them. Now if you didn't think they were ridiculous before
you have to now for what you don't know is they go out
of their way to hide them but there are only four people
in the house. Them, who will not touch each others Salsas
for the two John eats are probably the only two Andrew
refused to touch, and John would never touch Andrews for
John can't handle the spice like Andrew can and his are
always hot no matter what brand and if they are not hot
enough he will add more spice himself. Also in the house is
me, and I know both of their hiding spots so what is the
point, and Rowan who can't even walk yet let alone go
snooping for their Salsas. Yet every single Sunday the make
a huge deal out of labeling their jars and hiding them under
their bed.
I am sure you guessed by now they are both big time
Salsa fanatics. Andrew has even gone so far as to grow
his own peppers and make it from scratch in an attempt to
get the perfect mix. All Summer long I had Peppers all over
my tables and window sills and in cups and bowls and
Tomatoes were stuffed in every drawer in my fridge. He grew
everything though and I will give him credit, right down to the
spices he used but the next Summer I had to nix it for we just
don't have the space for it and fruit fly's were driving me nuts
for he swore the Tomato's had to be a certain level of ripe and
if he didn't make it within a day of being that ripe they would
start to rot. YUCK! When Mrs Renfro's gave me a chance to
review their line of Salsas I jumped at it for I would do just
about anything to keep Andrew from taking over 80 percent
of my house with his yearly Salsa Project and would be even
more thrilled to find a Salsa they both can agree on so I
wouldn't have to worry about finding rotting bottles of Salsa
under our bed and Andrews for they are worse then Squirrels
hiding their acorns with their stash. We were sent a variety
of their Salsas and I got to try them first for the boys
can not eat them to like 3 PM. Don't ask me why for thank
the stars football season is over but their excuse was
somewhere along the lines they would blow their ritual
up if they varied from the schedule. I liked the Mango
Salsa the best. It was spicy but sweet and reminded me
of this Summer Salsa I had bought at a homemade stand once
that I had never been able to get again. This was a Salsa
perfect for just eating plain with Chips and the Saltier the
chip the better for the salt complements the Salsa even more.
It is also a perfect Salsa for young kids to enjoy as well for
it is tangy and is not over bearing in the spice department and
is chunky and hearty enough so they can dip their chips in
it and not have it run down their little fingers. Rowan is
a little too young for the chip part so I gave her a little on
a cracker and I was a mad generous for she loved it.
( I am so hoping I don't find a bottle stuffed under her crib.)
When 3 PM came I had the Salsas poured into bowls so only
I would know what one was what for I didn't want the names
to cloud their opinions and they guys got to a tasting. Here
are the results.
My order was:
1. Mango
2. Roasted
3. Green
4. Habanaro
Johns were:
1. Roasted
2. Mango
3. Green
4. Habanaro
Andrew was:
1. Habanaro
2. Green
3. Roasted
4. Mango
As you can see Andrew went for the spice big time and
John was close to mine other then I put the Mango number one,
I just loved that Mango. All of the Salsas were the perfect
blend with hearty pieces and rich and flavorful. If you are a
Salsa fan you are destined to find your match here for the
list of flavors they have is not only impressive it is all encompassing.
If you like hot or mild they have it. We have decided as a family
to get the Green and the Roasted for they were pretty high on
every ones list and middle of the road so to speak. For special
events though I will make sure to grab some of Andrews Habinaro
and my Mango and I am itching to try the Pomegranated too.
They also have relish and I was so excited for my Grandmothers
baked bean recipe calls for a relish and she made it herself and
I have never been able to find anything close to it and the Mild
Tomato looks just like it and I am eager to try it. They also have
cheese sauce, BBQ sauce and Syrups that look just as tasty
and if they are half as good as the Salsas were I just can't wait.
The most exciting thing to me is after years and years of having
to buy a different brand for everyone in the house we now have
not only a brand but a type we can all agree on and I never
thought I would live to see the day that happened.
The Mrs Renfro's web site alone is fantastic for it has a
load of different recipes to make with Salsa and some I never
would have dreamed of putting together. Both the Taco Pie
and the Mexican Fudge are on our to make list for they just
sound scrumptious. Personally I am really wanting to try the
Spinach and Strawberry Salad but the boys are a little against
it for heaven forbid they have something a little on the healthy
side. No matter what your tastes, how hot or mild you like it
or if you want to walk on the wild side these guys have what you
want. I totally enjoyed this review and they saved me from a
lot of Sunday headaches and now we might even be able to
snack as a family. YUM!
Mrs Renfro wants you guys to try their delicious
Salsa too and is going to give one of my readers a chance
to win a gift pack of four of their Salsas! To enter just head over
to their site and take a look around then come back here and
post what sounds the most delicious to you! The contest will

Michigan has more lakes then you can shake a stick at.
We are even blessed with 4 or the 5 great ones and Lake
Superior is Huge, Cold and some of the cleanest water I
have ever seen. We used to have friends that had a Summer home
in Copper Harbor, that would be the furthest point you can
go North in Michigan and resides on a Peninsula that juts
out right into Lake Superior. Now as much as I love the water
and my Grandparents swore I was part fish, I only went swimming
in that lake maybe twice in my whole life. It is just too cold.
Bitter cold and even in August you can swear ice cubes are
floating by. It is so clear you can see straight to the
bottom even in depths of 50 feet of more. If you have never
visited you should for it is not only breathtaking they
offer some of the most interesting and fantastic scenic views
and vacation destinations there are. The State Parks alone in
that part of Michigan are worth the trip. The amount of water
that Lake Superior provides, staggering! And it all flows down
to us lower Michiganders in the form of Michigan, Huron and
other lakes and streams. In fact you can not go more then a
couple of miles in any direction in Michigan without running
into water of some sort. You would think that with all
that water Michigan would have some of the best drinking
water in the World.
You would be wrong!
Lot's of places in Michigan rely on their own wells and those
that are lucky enough to be hooked up to a City system are
blessed with water that comes from places like the Detroit River.
As clean and fresh as Superior is, the Detroit River flows a
whole other direction. Nasty! We used to ride a boat to
an Amusement park in Michigan called Boblo and I swear when
you looked at that water while in route you would swear you didn't
need the boat you could just walk across for the water itself it is that
thick with debris and trash and just plain old Polluted. A lot
of people would never dare to swim in it let alone drink from
it for, YUCK! That gross! I am one of those people lucky enough
to be hooked into the Cities Water System too!
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Now I know that the water I see is not the water I drink. I
understand that. I realize all water goes through a massive treatment
system and is purified of any contaminators and even has extra goodness
added to it for health purposes. I know I am not downing a glass of
pollutants and that nasty, disgusting, algae laden water that was so
thick with pollutants you could walk on has been replaced with fresh,
clean and pure water that is supposed to be just as good if not better
then any bottled water you can buy. I understand that completely. But
it does not change the fact every time I get a glass from the kitchen
sink all I can think about is sewage. Every time I raise the glass to
my lips I swear I can smell the yucky pollutants. Yeah, yeah, I get
that the whole issue is in my head and know it isn't true but I just
can't help myself. Perhaps if I could see how they filter it I might be
a little more at ease but unless I get a job with the City I think that
might be off the table as far as options go. So I have been buying
bottled water but my phobia goes father then just the water I use to
drink, it is cooking water too and Bottled water isn't cheap. To make
a pot of Soup I might have to break into Rowans Education fund. I
just can't afford that and I also can't afford to have the truck drop by
at my house every week or so and drop off a jug of that Absopure
stuff so I needed to come up with a better plan and fast for Summer
is coming and I drink so much more then and Rowan will also be
drinking this year and if I am afraid to drink our water myself I surely
am not going to give it to her or Andrew. Lucky for me and the kids I
just got the chance to do a review for the Zero Water pitcher. Now
this puppy is cool and want to know something? Yes, since it started
at my own facet I could still imagine something being in it. Not sure
if I have some sort of Phobia or something but I know me and even
after using the pitcher I would fear for its safety so the people over
at Zero Water wanted to make sure I was confidant and send this little
gizmo that detects all that gunk I worried about. Now you guys thought
I was off my rocker but I took that little gizmo and tested my home
water and it read a 183.
YUCK!!! I was not off my rocker, that was the amount of dissolved
junk in my treated city tap water. NASTY! I would go wash my mouth
out but I am scared now! The TDS meter was the coolest little gadget
and we tested every single tap in the house then ran to the pitcher
and poured a glass
00
Can you believe it? I couldn't. What a difference! From 183 and I
took the same water and poured it in the pitcher and straight down
to 00! Not even a Zero point something. A 00. Andrew and I both
ran around the house and tested everything we could get our hands
on.
Kitchen Tap 183
Bathroom Tap 183
Shower 194
Hose 178 ( isn't that a hoot, the yard water is cleaner)
Laundry sink-eewwww, I won't even post. I wasn't even sure if the
TDS Meter could go that high. I honestly think that it makes a
difference where you get the water from in your house after using the
meter. It must have to do with Hygiene and factors like that for the
laundry sink was really bad but the kitchen and Bathroom tap were
at the same consistent number. Not a good one, but at least
they were together. We took water from both taps and poured it into
the pitcher and every time it dropped to zero. Now Andrew wanted
to keep going with the experiments and test more places you find water
in the house but I had to draw the line. He wanted to do both steps
of the experiment and not only use the meter but to pour it in the
pitcher as well and some how I knew I would be in the same
pickle I was before the pitcher. Instead of freaking out thinking the
tap water might have pollutants in it I would be stressing thinking that
Toilet water was in my pitcher at one point in time and had to take
the meter and put it up before that fear became a reality in Andrews
name of Science. Now that the meter was away I had some time to
check out the Pitcher itself.
First off I have to say it is a darn good looking one. It is sleek in
design and very modern and space ageish, keeping in perspective the
theme you can not make absolutely pure, clean water in your own home
without boiling it for 6 years. I loved the fact that it is super large
though still thin enough to fit comfortably on your shelf. The Pitcher
pours smoothly and evenly and that is another plus in my book form
there is nothing I hate worse then getting a start and stop pitcher.
You guys know what I am talking about, the kind who's lid never fits
right or turns easy and you only get a drizzle then you try to adjust it
and a waterfall comes out and you end up with a big mess to clean.
I have to be very careful to get those out of my house for Andrew is
King Mess without the added mess of the pitcher and if I have one of
those in the cupboard I will be mopping my kitchen floor every five
minutes. The Zero Water does not have that problem at all for there
is only one way to fit the lid and it fits perfect every single time and
pours like a dream! So we have a stylish, easy to pour, easy to
store pitcher. What else could there be?
Oh yeah, that filter thing!
The Zero Water Pitcher is the only water Pitcher that meets the
same FDA regulations as bottled water. That's how pure this is!
They owe it all to the Zero Waters 5 stage Ion Exchange filter system
that is far superior to any other on the market now. It is a Gravity
Pitcher so you just fill it from the top like you would a normal pitcher
and then it flows into the main base leaving you with clean, perfectly
filtered water that other people are popping out some cold hard cash
for at the corner store. You mean I don't have to get all geared up,
get Rowan all geared up, put on Animal Planet for Boo since I feel
guilty leaving her home alone and start up that Jalopy of mine and
drive to the over crowded store we all know I hate and plunk down
some hard earned funds to get a glass of fresh water? NO! I can
do all that at home and never even get out of my PJ's. I also know
when I am making bottles for Rowan or cooking at home I can just
pour from the Pitcher and not have to worry about the sewage that
comes out of my pipes. I would worry even more now that I know it
scored a 183. YUCK! I drank that!
I did try the kind you hook on the facet for a while but the
thing with that is it is hooked to a kitchen facet that is seldom clean
and often covered in soap for when Andrew, and John, do the dishes
they get a little carried away and over bubble. The suds were getting
up over that filter and though it wasn't often a lot on the faucet itself
I could still taste the soapy residue. Plus, eeeewwww on some of the
slimy stuff they put in the sink, that is enough to creep my out right
there knowing that that plates covered in mystery junk that had been
under Andrews bed since 1998 was that close to the filter. Another
one that is in my head and I am sure the slime does not travel but
it still makes me a little sick when I see it and I can't help but to
relate that to the facet. The Zero Water Pitcher is a stand alone device
that you keep right in your fridge so not only do you get clean, pure
water that in no way can be cross contaminated by other stuff in your
sink it is always cold. Take that on a hot Summer Day! This has got
to be one of the coolest things ever. Clean water so you will never
have to worry about he quality of the beverages your children are
drinking and a stylish pitcher that stays cold for you. No more trips
to the store a having to recycle those loads and loads of plastic bottles.
Fast to fill and easy to use. Nothing could be better!
Okay, one thing. Zero Water Pitcher is going to give one of my
readers a Pitcher of their own. To Enter just head over to the site
and take a look around then come back here and post what you have
learned in a comment. The contest will start tonight and run to April
15th at Midnight.

When you are pregnant you get a load of
junk mail and sales circulars and just tons
of stuff with people trying to sell you this
or tell you that you can't have a baby without
that. It is crazy. Even when you go to the
Doctor for your check-ups you are sent home
with a bag each time filled with coupons and
samples and all sorts of Do Dads they want you
to buy. I must have received 4,712 different pamphlets
for Life Insurance and Formula was right behind
that along with Portrait Studios. Most of it was
junk but every once in a while you see something
that peaks your interest. One of the things I was
interested in was instead of the same old Birth
Announcements I wanted to get something clever
and different. Had I found out Rowan was going to
be a boy I would have gotten Golf Balls but I
was having a little Princess. Golf Balls just
didn't fit no matter how cool John thought the
idea was. In one of my bags of wasted paper I came
across this little brochure for Candy Bars that
have your Babies name and birth information on
them. Now I just thought those were adorable.
Instead of a Hersey Bar it would be a Rowan Bar
and instead of traditional Cigars and junk
like that John could pass out something everyone
could enjoy since guys pacing the halls, smoking
stogies, waiting for Baby is pretty much just
something you only see in old Movies now a days. With
a candy bar he can give one to all and even
the boys, his Grand Nephews could enjoy them.
Let's face it, a 5, 2 and 1 year old with a
cigar in their mouth isn't that cool of a thing
and boys, Gezz, if I had let him get the golf balls
they would have just ended up coming back and
hitting us in the head. Boys, PFTTttt!
Now they were not cheap though at a buck a
bar or so, well unless you bought like 1,000 then
I think it dropped down to 80 cents. Now Rowan is
an awfully cute and vivacious little girl but
I don't think even her personality is so magnificent
to attract more then a 1,000 well wishers to qualify for
the 20 cent discount. So I would have to pay a buck a
bar and I wanted to make sure that if I were paying
that much they would at least taste good so I sent
away for a couple. Not ones with Rowans name and
info for this was a few months before she was even
here but I just wanted to see how the chocolate
tastes. When they came in the mail I was super excited
for I was really in love with the idea. With Andrew
we had some Bubble Gum Cigars that were cute but
unlike the Cigar the Candy Wrapper itself was like a souvenir
of her birth you could save and I fell in love with
that idea. Andrew was with me and we ripped open the
box, there were three bars and since John wasn't there
we set his aside and grabbed ours. I was impressed that
the wrapper was thicker then a store bought bar so it
really could be saved and easy to remove without tearing.
This was going to be okay, I am so glad I found them.
Andrew and I both took a big bite!
"Spit Spit," GAG, "YUCK!"
They were disgusting! They reminded me of the super cheap
chocolate you can get at the dollar store. You know what I am
talking about. It is the same size bag as you would pay like
4 bucks for Hersey's or any of those brands but are a buck or
even worse, 2 for a buck at the dollar store and taste like wax
that was been sprinkled with baking chocolate then frozen then
melted then put in the trash for a month then sold.
YUCK!
For a buck a bar?
YUCK and NO WAY.
So I was over that idea. I could already picture the boys
spitting the bars out like Andrew and I did and I was so
disappointed for I really did like the idea of having my own
candy bar dedicated to Rowan. I ended up with Pink Suckers and
an attitude.
Now about a month or so ago I ran across a web site the
sorta does the same thing but not specifically for Birth
Announcements and not just Candy bars. I kind of rolled my
eyes for after my first forte in the personalized treat
arena I still had a bad taste in my mouth. I did have to
say though, I was a little curious for they had a lot of
different products, not just candy. I couldn't stay away
from the site and soon had to check them out just so I
would stop obsessing. My curiosity was peaked for you could
create your own Trail Mix and I was a huge fan of trail mix
but had a hard time finding one where I liked everything in
the bag. I would find one that sounds awesome, has 4 or 5 of
my favorite items then something I can't stand.
VETO
Then I would move on to another one and the same thing, yum,
Cashews, Almonds, Raisins, Sunflower Seeds, Carob? Ew! Ruined!
With this site you could pick what you wanted in the mix and
only what you wanted. That right there was enough to get me
going. The name of the company was You Bar and I spent so much
time thinking about a silly trail mix I had to know if their items
tasted good or it was going to be a repeat of the candy bar fiasco.
They sent me a big box with a sampling of all their items and
once again Andrew and I stood looking at a box. I was nervous.
Those candy bars were really bad and I was afraid these would end
up the same way. At last we broke down and I grabbed a bag of
Trail mix and Andrew Grabbed a Cookie.
A deep breath
a spit bucket close by
and taste!
They were good! I was really impressed. The nuts were fresh and
not bitter and the mix was perfect. The Cookie was soft and chewy
and one I would have bought on my own had it been sold on a store
shelf. Andrew quickly grabbed the Energy Bar for he loves those
but if you don't get a brand of energy bar that's good they are
really bad and taste like sawdust. These were not and sorta remind
me of a Luna Bar if you guys have ever tried them. In fact every single
item they made was a great product and tasty and I really wish I
would have found them before the Candy bar fiasco! Now You Bar does
not carry Candy Bars but they have a great line up that includes
Cookies, Energy Bars, Trail Mix and Protein Shakes as well as Cereals.
The come in packages and you can just order them as is and they are
good but the point of You Bar is to have your Logo or message put
on the product. Its kinda of neat really. If you have a family gathering
or reunion you can order John Doe's Energy Bars for the whole clan.
You have your own business, toss your name on some Cookies for
your customers. Going camping with a lot of friends, have your own
Cereal Made up so everyone knows its your or send it to your kids
in collage so next time their room mate is munching away and you
child says, "Hey, is that mine?" and Room Mate says, "I have no
clue what you are talking about!" Your Child can grab the package
with his name stamped all over it and say, "AHA!"
I also thought it would be pretty cool to have every-ones trail mix
personalized since we all like different things in ours. Andrew
hates Raisins I hate Figs, none in his, some in mine. Everyone can
have their own with just what they want in them! How about for
School parities for your kids? don't stay up all night making
Cupcakes just for them to get squished on the way, order of case
of Cookies that says Little Bobby's 3rd Birthday on them! I just
think your options are endless here!
Everything is delivered fast and affordable and you can order
your snacks with healthy options or downright sinful! Next time
I have a baby, HA, okay, next time I want to celebrate something
I know just where to go! You Bar is my Bar now!
You Bar!
