General

I bought something called Amazing Grass. It's this green powder made from leafy stuff and other stuff. Not quite sure why I bought it. I guess I wanted to get more veggies?

It tastes like what I would imagine sweet grass, if that was a thing, to taste like.

I don't know if I've ever tried blue cheese. Am I missing out?

Love blue cheese!

bleu cheese is good, but I don't recommend it in large quantities in one sitting. The idea might not be what I'm trying to convey but it's like eating too many saltine crackers and not drinking anything.

I'm particular to Muenster and Havarti.

What about it do you like? (Like I mentioned, don't think I've had it, so I don't know what to compare it to, what it tastes like, etc.)

Wait a minute. Muenster is considered a blue cheese?

I noticed you spelled it bleu. Just found out the bleu is the French word for blue. Learned something new.

These are very good. Very peppery though, so keep that in mind. I picked up a bag in the grocery. Worth buying again, imo. I thought it was good enough that I bought more to share. Gave two people. Both were a fan. Again, very peppery.

I bought it locally but found it on Amazon so I'll post a link, but maybe your local grocery has it.

I've been enjoying candy popcorn. Had Twix a couple weeks ago and am currently eating Oreo.

I just love the tangy sour creaminess of it. Love it crumbled on bacon burgers and chicken wings, celery and the such; as a dip.

These are absolutely disgusting. And I love everything Lime and or Lemon.

I've been trying out some different low carbs beers.

Yuengling Flight - 95 calories, 2.6g carbs, 4.2% alcohol
Heinekin Silver - 95 calories, 3.2g carbs, 4.0% alcohol

Both are pretty good alternatives to the Michelob Ultra or Miller Lites I typically drink. I know a lot of people like the more full beers but for the same amount of carbs, I'll take 3 of these "Ultra Light" beers anyday of the week over a single Budweiser. I would recommend both the Yuengling and Heinekin for someone who is into ultra light beers!

I have always seen it spelled by the French word for blue so I spell it as such. I've mainly had it on a few burgers they label at some restaurants as "Black and Blue Burger"

LOL, no sorry. I should've specified that Muenster and Havarti are particular cheeses I like on the subject of cheese aside from your typical common cheeses like Colby, Cheddar, etc.

I tried the Butterfinger one. Pretty good.

If you like lime, have you tried these?

It's creamy and tangy? Would you say it's similar to cream cheese then?

Muenster isn't common? Surprising to me to hear that. We had that all the time growing up. That was the main cheese at our place.

I can't seem to get into beer. I've tried many, but I usually don't care much for the taste. Although, I recently tried a beer that I didn't mind. It was a sour beer. The tartness was refreshing.

Not that creamy lol.

@nonamesleft I've not had the trader joe's brand of those. But I've had other brands. They are okay.

What about it? Did you have some recently?

Since being diagnosed diabetic, I have defaulted to a few snacks. I’ve been eating more or less the same stuff for almost 2 months with the only deviations being if I’m forced to because I’m out of something, the grocery store is out of something or I’m out with a friend.

-Two Good yogurt. Not my favorite yogurt, but I don’t think they make yogurt with the fruit in it anymore so I put fresh fruit in it myself and it’s great.

-String cheese.

-A slice of mozzarella cheese, a tomato and a slice of basil. I put some balsamic glaze on it sometimes.

-Cashews.

That’s all I have for right now. Kinda boring but I have to start being good somewhere.

BucketofJustice wrote:
The slice of cheese + tomato + basil sounds like a quick pizza bite type snack.

Cashews are great. How would you rate them compared to other nuts? Favorite?

It kind of is a bite size pizza. It’s fantastic.

Cashews are great. Them and pistachios are my favorite.

BucketofJustice wrote:
What kind of cheese for the pizza bite? Mozzarella? Muenster?

I learned a great hack for pistachios. You know those pistachios that are really difficult to open because the opening isn't large enough? You take a pistachio half shell and wedge it in there and twist. Usually works and doesn't hurt your fingers.

Thanks for the pistachio tip! I usually just mess my fingers up with it or leave them uneaten haha.

Yes, it’s mozzarella cheese I use with the tomato and basil.

BucketofJustice wrote:
:) You're welcome. I used to do the same before I found out about it. Hurting my fingers or just not eating the hard to open pistachios. Try it next time you get a stubborn one. You'll be pleasantly surprised. But I don't have a solution for those occasional pistachios that are fully closed. The shell trick only works when there's at least somewhat of an opening. But I don't know what to do with the fully closed ones. A hammer maybe? What do you do with those?

Leave them uneaten lol

BucketofJustice wrote:
Perhaps birds have a secret technique to open closed pistachios. Maybe I'll give them to the birds.

I love pistachios and those hard to open shells are annoying, but my hack has been to just pop one in my mouth and bite down just enough to crack it more.

Im really loving Gringo Bandito hot sauce. It was made by the lead singer of the band The Offspring. I discovered it when I went on my low salt diet. It has significantly less salt than other hot sauces on the market such as Franks. I use it on just about everything, it has a great flavor.

Had some frozen mango earlier and a frozen strawberry. That's some of the best ices I've had.

Had a spiced pickled pear. Interesting. It's a pear pickled in cinnamon and cloves, etc.

Pickled fruit is interesting. The sweetness of the fruit with the sourness of the pickling.

I just recently learned that pickled Kool Aid pickles is a thing. Sounds gross

Cucumbers pickled in Kool Aid? Doesn't sound very compelling to me. Will look it up though. See if I can find a review video of it.

I was hoping we were able to get the Doritos Hot mustard up here but nope. We got Doritos All Dressed and Sour Cream and Onion. Also wanted to try the Ketchup ones, we have had them before but I was wondering if a different "recipe is used" down there.

Those Doritos Mustard chips are awful

The only Doritos varieties I like are taco flavored and nacho cheese flavored.

I typically go for potato chips/crisps over tortilla chips though

What are your go to chips?

I love my chips, but I am on a Dorito Kick right now. They have IMO the best BBQ flavor, I did maybe kind of burn myself out on Ranch thought, they were my go to for 28 years or so. But the Sour Cream and Onion Doritos are pretty damn good. I will have to stock up on both the All Dressed and SC&O before they go away.

But if you want a good Dill pickle chip, Walmarts Extreme Dill Pickle are pretty damn good.
