Pot Roast Weather

Rain. Rain. Rain. Good week to simmer feel-good smells in the crockpot. Every time I make a pot roast, I always wish I had added more carrots. They might be the best part of the pot.

Tomato Bisque

I need to get my hands on a reliable tomato bisque recipe. This is a Schwan's frozen soup. Very tasty in a pinch, but I'm sure homemade would be even better.

Bacon Cup Noodles

I'd taste test these...if I could find them.

Taste Test: Popchips

I think I was punked. Friends told me they loved these new snacks, which are healthier than potato chips. Too good to be true? Did I somehow buy two bags that were bad? These tasted similar to rice cakes, except I prefer rice cakes.

Lobster Ravioli for Valentine's Day Dinner

Sun-dried tomato pasta with a lobster filling. Tasted O-K, but I couldn't detect any lobster. I really need to learn how to make home-made ravioli.

How Did I Miss This Super Bowl Food?

I didn't even really "see" this until I looked at the food photos. I would have eaten one. Can I get a do-over?

Taste Test: Apple Tea

The third of three tea "taste tests" today. Apple tea my mother brought me from a recent trip to Turkey. She says everyone drinks it. Of course, I expected it to taste like...you know, apples. No apple flavor at all. I can't even describe the flavor. Peppery? Not my favorite of the day.
