Stuff I Like - product reviews

Dr Pepper in a glass bottle is damn good. Been forever since I've seen it, and even though I don't drink caffeine anymore, I made an exception this time. Totally worth it.

 

I bought a Hecho en Mexico Coca-Cola in a glass bottle a couple of weeks ago on a whim. It was so, so good.

 

It's a regional drink, but those who know ... they know.

 

Here’s a Thanksgiving one: Pepperidge Farms stuffing.


Making dressing from scratch is a giant hassle, so I buy this and sauté onions and celery in butter and add chicken stock, like it says on the bag. Good every time and folks seem to like it because it quickly disappears.

I make it as dressing, not stuffing, because I don’t jam it into the dead bird. It’s basically canvas for a good gravy, anyway.

 

I’ve been wearing Exoffico boxer briefs for a year now. I have a long walk from the train to the office (~30 minutes) and I sweat from all pores. The Exofficos stay dry much better than my standards. Will try the brand y’all suggested though.

I also have a Rowenta iron that apparently is the second coming, but I still haven’t used it.

 

+1 for Exofficio. They make good clothing as does Columbia for the money. Great value. Also have found selection and quality vastly improved at Eddie Bauer.
I posted this somewhere else but I would by anything made by Yamaha, and I’ve owned a lot of their stuff, stereos, guitars, motorcycles. If they made cars I’d buy one! Their musical instruments alone are known as a gold standard. They make snowmobiles, too, and I know I’m forgetting other products.

 

Wife got a Rowenta earlier this year and its fantastic.

 

This stuff is spectacular.

 

Make cranberry sauce from scratch. It’s crazy easy and crazy good.

 

One pound cranberries, five pounds sugar, add some type of gelatin, and blend. If it still tastes like crap, add more sugar.

I hate cranberries.

 

That’s a joke right?

 

You added some lemon juice in place of one fewer cup of sugar? You still ended up eating cranberries, which suck.
