Choxie

Choxie is the name of Target's new line of gourmet like chocolates with an upscale taste without the upscale price. The signing is stylish and hip. I was a bit skeptical to try them, but Amy said she tried the truffle ones and she liked them, and if Amy liked them, then I was sure to enjoy them as well. So I had taste, and my are they truly delicious and at the price points that they are given, I no longer need to break my wallet at Godiva to have great tasting chocolate treats. I will be providing my opinion on each variety of Choxie as I try them. Mind you the line is extensive so this may take several months. Stay tuned...

Tully's Coffee

As you know I had extra time in the morning today so picked up a few things at a local grocery store. In the store ther was a Tully's Coffee, a starbucks like attempt, in the grocery store. Ordered a Mocha Spin, their take on a frappuccino, no expectations but of course comparing it to Starbucks. To my surprise it was delightfully good, and at the same price as Starbucks, I may occassionally venture to Tully's to avoid the crowds at Starbucks. However Starbucks could never be replaced.

Self Heating Coffee Can?!

So, I had some extra time this morning before work, so went looking around to get some sugar for my morning coffee and I noticed Wolfgang Puck self heating beverages. I was like, "What the hell, he is getting into everything?!" To add to my excitement I had never heard of self heating can. Of course I had to get some to try them. I got 3 of the 4 to 5 kinds that they had. The Gourmet Rich Caramel Latte, Gourmet French vanilla Latte, and the Gourmet Rich Mocha Latte. I'll post a blog review of these later, as I try them. Have  great day.

Cracker Jack vs Poppycock vs Store brand

So what's the deal with Cracker Jack. It seems to me it's over-rated. I remember when I was a kid I would buy it excitedly mostly for the surprise toy. Back then it was really something exciting to see what new mini toy was inside. Now I purchase this type of sweet for the actual taste of it when I get a sweet tooth and not the "surprise" I stopped buying Cracker Jack a while back as the surprise now is crap. I recently received a Cracker Jack as part of a Christmas goodie bag. The surprise toy is a crappy piece of paper with instructions to fold the paper this way and that way. What the hell kinda "surprise toy" is that. If only the popcorn mix with nuts was good, but it isn't. The peanuts in it are diminutive and shriveled, it's a waste to even include them in it. So now of course I buy Poppycock which is excellent tasting and have many varieties, and of course I like saying the name. Even the store brand versions are pretty good, and have a good popcorn to nut ratio. But Cracker Jack unless I receive you as a gift or part of a goody bag as before, I will not waste my time on you, unless you improve the peanuts to caramel popcorn ratio and include a worthwhile "surprise"

Time Lapse...

Today I came in to work 6:15am - 2:30pm. For some reason I set my alarm for 4am to be here by 5am, however in my mind it panned out as if it was 5am to be her by 6am. WEIRD!. So I didn't realize this until it was 10 minutes to 5am and I was pretty much down the street of work. So what to do in an hour, as I definitely did not want to go to work yet and did not want to drive back home. So Drove to Albertson's but was closed, opens until 7am today. So went Fry's Marketplace, where I used to shop all the time before I moved. Thankfully it was open. So spent a good 45 minutes in there, got some fruit and snacks for work. Then drove to work was at work 10 minutes to 6am. Much better than a whole hour early. Well hope you all have a great New Years Eve. I am not doing anything really just home. I'll probably watch the New York thing on TV, drink some Rose Regale and go to bed as I work early tomorrow as well at 6am. Hopefully I'll get the time right tomorrow.
