Bubble Yum gum - Hershey’s Chocolate flavor. So now I know Hershey’s owns Bubble Yum, but if there’s some artificial chocolate flavored item from Hershey’s I expect to taste somewhat similar to Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup. Instead it’s more like Tootsie Roll gum which you can hardly call chocolate flavor to begin with.

Buffalo burgers
We tried buffalo burgers recently and I was surprised at the difference between it and beef. The texture in handling it feels sort of clean and loose but it all holds together well. In cooking it seemed to want to brown faster than beef and in spite of it having less fat there is [...]
Finally a weekend without many planned activities let me catch up on the far overdue weeding. First I got the new weeds in the backyard that grew from the last attempt. Then I moved on to the front yard and managed to get everything but the weeds between the flagstones and the weeds along the [...]
Yesterday a different contest popped into my head, one between Brocolli Obama and Celery Clinton. I was surprised to find no reference to it on the internets.
I tried Trader Joe’s but they had nothing but drinking chocolate. Then I remembered Staff of Life and decided to try there so we went there this morning. On the bottom shelf of the baking section are cans of cocoa. Those are sweetened or natural cocoa. Looking over to the right one shelf (still on [...]
I lose. So there was this really great looking cake that I was hoping I could have for my birthday. We went to the store (New Leaf) and picked up all the ingredients we were missing except there was no dutch-process cocoa. No problem, we can get it at another store later. Savemart didn’t have [...]
When I was walking by the almost completed Woodstock’s Pizza I saw they had a sign with their URL on it. I visited and signed up and in return they sent me an evite to try them out last night (they open today) so Nicole and I went.
When we walked in they handed us each [...]
Lately when walking the dogs I’ve been doing off and on running. The dogs think it’s great since walking is never fast enough. There’s a 0.4 mile straight stretch that I’ve been able to run the whole way and this morning I decided to time it to confirm that the dogs were going at around [...]
That was a great finale and I made something that won me a steeping teacup!
(spoilers at the end)
I made a dessert appetizer composed of graham cracker, semi-sweet chocolate, and boysenberry butter. It ended up being a lot less sweet than I thought it would be which was a good thing since I was worried about it being too [...]
Sampling the cake again today, the cake flavor isn’t so bland now so I guess if you make this cake you should make it the day before you intend to serve it.
