Yeah, I’ve noticed the price drop. I pick up apples from the store for my mom and she always liked Jazz apples but Safeway stopped carrying them so switched to Honeycrisp when they’re on sale, which seems fairly often now.

Most familiar apples are bred to last for a long time in the cooler, which is why they taste like ass. You’re better off with just about any new variety compared to a red delicious. Read more

I eat it frequently (perhaps too frequently). Please don’t call me no one. I’m someone! Stewart’s ice cream is #1. Friendly’s is garbage. If you want real local high quality non-mass market ice cream, Wemple & Edicks in Sammonsville, NY. Read more

Honeycrisps are good, and used to be my go to Apple variety, but I prefer either Pink Lady or Cosmic Crisps nowadays. The Cosmic Crisp in particular takes everything that makes the Honeycrisp good and improves upon it. Read more

Many teas from Asia suggest you rinse the leaves with hot water, discard that water then brew. Pu-er is a prime example, as it removes bitterness.

Havent had it in decades but i remember regular JIF being sweeter than other peanut butters. Read more

My mom had me buy her the Reduced Fat Jif and she almost instantly shook her head and said, “That stuff isn’t right!”. I tried it and it wasn’t horrible, it was better than the Shedd’s PB that our neighbors bought in a paint can bucket, that was truly awful stuff, but it was pretty sad. Shedd’s was the worst PB I’ve Read more

When did bricks of Maple Walnut stop being a thing? Read more

vanilla chocolate chip is the true vanilla (ie boring) choice. At least regular vanilla has a variety of types of vanilla and can be really good on it’s own in addition to being a side to cake and pie Read more

The powdered peanut butter says 87% less fat, and it is delicious on chocolate ice cream. Or in smoothies. Read more

There’s non-mint chocolate chip ice cream? Read more

I don’t care how expensive it is, Jenni’s ice cream for me please.  Read more

My best friend is a creamy person. I don’t understand it. He buys Skippy only, too.  Read more
