Had an occasion to need appetizers this week, but didn’t have time to make them. A local Chicago company, Supreme Lobster and Seafood, sells quality heat and eat appys to bail you out of just such a jam. Picked up their bacon wrapped scallops and their lobster rangoon won tons. Both could be ready in… Continue reading Supreme Lobster Appetizers

IONutrition Meal Home Delivery Review
Used to be if you wanted to take advantage of a “home meal delivery” service, the companies that were available in the genre were focused on weight loss; or you could try and put together your own plan with a company like Schwans. But lately we been presented with a gaggle of choices from different companies,… Continue reading IONutrition Meal Home Delivery Review
O&H Bakery Racine, WI
My mother loved Kringles. What are they? A Scandinavian confectionary pastry, multiple layers of thin, flaky baked dough, in a horseshoe shape, with layers separated by a wide variety of your choice of fillings/toppings like berry, almond, chocolate and the like. More on the origin. My mother, or parents, really, took delight in having certain things… Continue reading O&H Bakery Racine, WI

Volpi Prosciutto Review
I’ve looked at a lot of deli meats lately and written them up – the quality and prices cover the full spectrum. Not surprisingly, I tend to prefer the more expensive meats, the low cost ones have a texture I find unpalatable. But that’s just me. The smaller manufacturers seemed to have not lost their… Continue reading Volpi Prosciutto Review
Red Robin Frozen Onion Rings Review
I keep hoping that a single one of these restaurant branded foods you find in the grocery is worth buying a second time; unfortunately, in my opinion, that hasn’t happened. This is my second Red Robin product, I tried their fries previously, which didn’t wow me. They are an extruded potato product, something I am… Continue reading Red Robin Frozen Onion Rings Review

Home Brewing with Mr Beer Reviews
It’s been two weeks since I completed the first step of making beer at home with the Mr. Beer kit. The mixture has been ‘brewing’ in the brew keg, and today I washed the (furnished) bottles and caps with the special “no dry” was solution that comes with the kit. The kit includes tablets (made… Continue reading Home Brewing with Mr Beer Reviews
Chi-Chi’s Corn Chips Review
For a time, back in the day, Minneapolis (of all places) was a hot bed of Americanized Mexican restaurants. A local restaurateur, Marno McDermott, founded a fast food chain called Zapata (later Zantigo) which gave Taco Bell a pretty good run for the money,and was eventually assimilated by various Taco Bell parent companies and vanished.… Continue reading Chi-Chi’s Corn Chips Review
Parkview Hot & Spicy Smoked Sausage Review
Here’s another great product from global discount grocer Aldi. Germany based Aldi sells staples and fresh grocery items, under (mostly) their own created labels, at substantial discounts compared to national brand names. I’ve written about several of them in the past. These sausage, in the refrigerated section, also come in “Polish” and “Sun Dried Tomato”… Continue reading Parkview Hot & Spicy Smoked Sausage Review
