First visit to Potsdam, NY

Finally I decided to drive to Potsdam, NY, which is about 20 minutes away from Ogdensburg.  Turn left at the abandoned Ford dealership and stay on this road (#68) as it goes thru Canton (and becomes #11) and into Potsdam. I was surprised to see two universities in the area!  The Walmart Supercenter there was kinda big... but still not that good in terms of variety.  I saw a lot of disgusting items.  Nothing worth buying.

Cookie Pop popcorn? No thanks!




















New Lays flavours: West coast truffle fries, Southern biscuits & gravy, New York reuben, and Greektown gyro.  I didn't dare to try any of them.











Peanut Hottie - Is there really a demand for a hot peanut butter and chocolate drink?!?!?













Green Boiled Peanuts!  The South's Favorite Snack!














Pop Tarts Frosted Blue Raspberry - the taste is normal but they are hard to eat.  The opaque blue slime is very unappetizing.

Kettle Brand Red Curry Potato Chips - they taste nothing like Thai red curry



















Betty Crocker Pineapple Upside-Down cake mix - it actually had a small can of crushed pineapple in the box!  I thought it tasted gross but Mother liked it!


















Ruffles Poutine chips - yuck




















I got these last week in Costco out of curiosity. OMG they were disgusting.  I haven't tried Krispy Kreme donuts too many times since they only sell cold ones here sometimes.  From what I remember, a hot one is good.. But these were really bad - with each bite I had a feeling of eating lard or something meaty.  Very very greasy. 














This made me lol in Walmart.  The lady sucking back the sandwich.. right beside those creepy footlong frankfurters.


















It's that time of year.. I made a Jell-O cake for the strawberry social party at work.



















I got these in Mac's convenience store, klondike mint and banana taffy.  Did not try them yet. I left them in my cubicle for coworkers to sample.












First round of dessert from strawberry social.  They were all really good.













Second round of dessert from strawberry social.














Big Bone BBQ and Wicked Wings is supposed to be open today.  It replaced Mojo Fresh.













Here is the menu















Finally I tried a sandwich from Franks Bakery and Catering.  This is #11 White Girl. It took me all day and I didn't finish it. Huge portion size but very fresh.  It had lettuce, tomato, mayo and mustard but you can't tell that from this pic.
