June 2016 local items

Kettle Classic Caesar chips.  Will they taste like tomato, hot sauce, lime and celery.. or vodka?  I brought them to work.  They tasted like V8 vegetable juice.

This is a packet of flower tea.  Sisley ordered many of these for her wedding favours.

New drinks found in Mac's Milk  Brisk bluebeberry/lemonade/iced tea, cherry/limeade/iced tea and wild cherry pepsi (it's about time)

Also from  Mac's Milk.  There is nothing Mentos about these, other than the packaging. They are caramels with chocolate and chocolate mint filling.

Ling and I went to Quitters coffee house.  Here is a fancy coffee, lemonade, chewy chocolate brownie type cookie, and croissant.  We liked our drinks and the cookie.  I didn't try the croissant.

This is the Quitters tuna melt sandwich.  It was a tiny bit spicy but it was good.

Grilled cheese with an extreme amount of cheese and mushroom soup from 'Wiches Cauldron

Sour cream & sriracha.. it wasn't hot at all.

An extremely disappointing visit to Big Easy's Steak and Seafood restaurant. Look how puny this fried chicken is.  The so called mashed sweet potatoes was like only 3/4 cup in volume.  The season vegetables were literally 10 baby spinach leaves and 1/2 a brussels sprout.  This half size portion was $26!

Here is the dessert, a flourless chocolate cake which 3 of us tasted and found inedible due to a raw, mealy texture.

I got these rolls at Giant Tiger. They taste worse than they used to in the good old days.

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.
