Portland, OR – Golden Touch (Redux)

On occasion, Mrs. BDB gets a bug in her craw (WTF does that mean?) about breakfast out on the weekends.

Pillsbury Heat and Eat Breakfast Biscuits

I often carp to anyone within spitting distance, “why are there only sausage and egg breakfast sandwiches in the frozen food?  Why doesn’t anybody make a bacon and egg one? Well, someone at Pillsbury heard me, and came out with Bacon, Egg, Cheese Biscuits, a 2.5 minute microwave affair.   They come in two separate pieces,… Continue reading Pillsbury Heat and Eat Breakfast Biscuits

10 Pounds of Bacon, $5.49

No, it’s not some anniversary special price roll-back for a grocery store. It’s what Homer Simpson could consume  at the Shoney’s Breakfast Buffet.

Beverly Hills, CA – Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co.

The company says no one can make bagels like folks in Brooklyn, and it’s because of the perfect water that Brooklyn has for bagel baking.  So they invented a Willy Wonka type machine that takes local water and makes it Brooklyn Water.  I have no clue what that means, but customers seem to like it,… Continue reading Beverly Hills, CA – Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co.

We were rollin’ thru the aisles of one of our locally owned hoity toity groceries, New Seasons, in search of heat and eat appetizers for date night at home.  As per her usual behavior, Mrs. BurgerDogBoy scooted to the bacon section, in search of new delights.

Isn’t it… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Trader Joe’s Frozen Croissants
