dang Toasted Coconut Chips - Savory Bacon

Okay. I found another coconut chip in my stash so hey - why not talk about it now?

First off - BACON!

I often joke being Filipino that pork is one of my basic food groups, but yeah - I love pork. Oddly enough I don't eat it as much as I used to, but I still partake once in a while.

Is it just me or does that sound similar to "I only drink socially"?

Anyway, back to these bacon coconut chips.

Once I opened the bag, I smell bacon right away. No coconut. Just bacon.

The coconut slivers look toasted - they have a light brown hue. And there's no powder on them.

Tasting one chip, I can taste a little bit of bacon, but this snack is vegan. So let me explain.

The ingredients are coconut, Bacon Seasoning, and Coconut Oil. The "Bacon Seasoning" is comprised of: Cane Sugar, Salt, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Chili Powder, Pepper, Bacon Flavor.

What the frak is "Bacon Flavor"? I can understand calling something "Bacon Seasoning" and then listing all the spices that make up that seasoning. That's like with Pumpkin Spice or Chai Spice, but bacon flavor in bacon seasoning?

Anyway, moving on.

The bag is 2.82oz and lists one serving as an ounce - leaving three servings per bag.

Overall, this treat wasn't my favorite. As much as I love bacon, I would prefer bacon-flavored treats -vegan or otherwise - to actually taste like bacon. And these tasted like barbecue chips to me, and if I wanted those, I'd just buy those chips.

Hungry Buddha Coconut Chips

I will be perfectly honest - as much of a lover of coconut I am, I'm not really a coconut chip eater. Well... at least not solo. If it's in a trail mix or something, I'll partake - but this snack is not something that comes to mind when I feeling a bit peckish.

But when I saw the following two items, I immediately became intrigued so I picked them up to try later.

Disclaimer: I'm not a spicy person by any means. It's only been until my later years that I will randomly not only crave spicy food but tolerate it, but it's completely random. I can't have had - say a ghost pepper and be okay with it only to go to a restaurant down the road and order a ghost pepper dish there. Again - my body is random so I have to always do the meek taste test and if it's okay (aka I don't die or hack up a lung), then I can eat the rest of whatever else was offered to me.

Wild Wasabi

Smells okay. Granted the only time I've ever truly "smelled" wasabi was when I put too much in my soy sauce while eating sushi and almost snarfed it up. (I'm pretty sure in this context you can guess what I mean by "snarf" - and no, not the creature from Thundercats - but even if you're not exactly right with what I mean, I'm pretty sure you'd be close enough.)

Back to the smell - it smells okay, but I can't smell coconut. I do smell a little... something? - but not coconut or wasabi.

The coconut chip feels and looks toasted, the color a light brown hue. There's no seasoning dust or anything on it - just the coconut itself.

Ahhh... there it is. It's baked in. How? I have no idea, but it's really in there. It tastes like the coconut was dusted with wasabi paste or powder. The wasabi isn't overwhelming - only giving a hint of spice and that's it. There's a bit of a salty taste to it but again, not a lot - only a hint.

I really like these.

Smokin' Sriracha

Where I couldn't smell anything from the Wasabi bag, I definitely smell sriracha from this bag. No coconut - just sriracha.

They (of course) feel toasted. However, they look very much like a barbecue potato chip - slightly orange-red.

And the taste - THE TASTE?

I immediately thought "barbecue potato chip." The flavor is just as subtle as the wasabi - there but not overpowering. In the beginning, I wasn't feeling any heat. I tried a few more - still nothing. Then I grabbed a small handful, and that's when I started to feel the heat. But it's not too much. It's just enough.

These bags are 40g each and are 250 calories per serving - one serving being the whole bag.

I like these - I REALLY like these. I would say of the two, the wasabi was my favorite. Thank goodness they come in such small portions or I may make myself sick eating too much of them.

Hammond's Mellow Fluffs

While working on tidying/reorganizing my home, I thought I'd take a break for some coffee and to relax a bit whilst plotting my next move (aka moving furniture around).

In my tidying, I came across my snacks collections - a variety of things I'd bought from a variety of places since they looked interesting and piqued my curiosity to try (and I like trying new things - hence this blog). There's lots to try so I thought I'd get to it to still be productive while on a break from my other productivity.

Blogging is productive, right?

*******

So the first item up for tasting: Mellow Fluffs

I saw these in a store recently, and I love me a good marshmallow, so I thought I'd snag one of each flavor they had and give them a try. And now, in no particular order...

Vanilla Bean

Right off the bat sniffing the bag after opening, they smell deliciously of vanilla... and oddly of Playdoh (which is a little disconcerting but I digress).

They are cut square, soft and smooshy to the touch as well as powdery though they don't make a mess or leave any kind of residue on your fingers. Their color is white with perhaps a little bit of a "vanilla bean pod" hue.

The sweet vanilla taste is noticeably there... and nothing else. (Granted I wouldn't know what Playdoh tastes like, and I have no intention of finding out, but I'm pretty sure vanilla and sugar would hardly mask that specific flavor profile). They are airy and fluffy as a marshmallow should be.

Birthday Cake

The smell of this marshmallow is strongly of birthday cake though it reminds me of the birthday cake frosting and not an actual birthday cake. These just smell super sweet. (And thankfully absolutely NO hints of Playdoh.)

They are similar in texture to the Vanilla Bean ones - soft and smooshy. They are square and white but are speckled with rainbow sprinkles (although they look more like someone took a mini hole-puncher to some Necco wafers).

Even though they feel soft, they taste denser than the Vanilla Bean ones, making chew a little more. Not sure if it's due to the sprinkles or not. I've never heard of sprinkles changing the chew consistency in baking.

Toasted Coconut

These just smell sugary sweet, much different than the other three, but I'm not getting any coconut at all, toasted or otherwise (which is sad since I LOVE coconut.)

The marshmallows are again square but feel denser than the first two. They are white and coated in toasted coconut flakes which shed a little when handling them.

They taste as dense as the Birthday Cake ones, but I'm still not getting any coconut flavor. Maybe - if at all - the coconut hits on the back end like an aftertaste, but I would think that if you name a treat "coconut" - it would be in the flavor profile right off the bat. (Don't think I'm asking for too much here.)

*******

Now... when trying to find product info, I found nothing on the internet. When I checked the bags, I saw that these were a product of Hammond's. (I'm familiar with Hammond's since I've had some of their treats.)  I went to the Hammond's site to search for these Mellow Puffs and still couldn't find them. In the "shop" portion of their site, they have a section for "Marshmallows & Caramels" - there you will see only three different flavors of marshmallows (Vanilla Bean, Toasted Coconut, and Chocolate Chip.

What the frak happened to the Mellow Fluffs?

From what I can search on the internet, there is nothing listed for "Mellow Fluffs." The official "Mellow Snacks" website is still up but everything is out of stock. (I've often wondered when something no longer exists and that thing has a website - why keep it up? Is it to keep the domain name or something? Or is it like the old mailboxes that they just paint green when they go out of service. They are taking up space. Remove them and use the metal for something else.)

At best guess, I think Hammond's rebranded some of their items - changing things around - and revised the packaging (THANK GAWD! Because the original bag design looked something inspired by a seriously bad acid trip.)

Also in looking over the bags again, they are listed as "marshmallow snacks" (Aren't marshmallows already a snack? Can't you just say "marshmallow"?) and are "under 100 calories" (Per the package info, they are 80 calories a serving. The bag is 4oz, the serving size is listed as half a cup, and the bag claims there are "about 4 servings per container.") Was the "under 100 calories on the front of the bag supposed to lead people to believe this was a healthy marshmallow? THEY'RE MARSHMALLOWS!!!

I'm always finding things that are either a one-shot or end up being discontinued for some reason or another, but they usually bum me out more when I REALLY like that thing whether it's edible or non-edible. But since Hammond's seem to have kept marshmallows in their repertoire, I will most likely try them again at some point... and other things from this company as well.

Rogue Soda - Honey Orange

So a few weeks ago I decided I was going to try and be productive. I had worked the opening shift at work which got me out of the office by 3:30pm. I thought "I'll be productive on the way home and get some things done."

I would like to point out that while my mind was saying "Let's Do This!" my body was experiencing that lovely monthly visitor (aka Powerloss) which left my body screaming back "Let's Go Home & Lay Down... Maybe Even Sleep?"

But I pushed through and made myself run my errands which consisted of mostly going to Target.

In reality there were maybe a handful of things I really needed to get, but I also like to take my time, check out the dollar bins, check out some clothes, maybe some hair products and various other departments to get some ideas about what to do with my apartment or some organizational ideas for my life.

I made my way around the store and was in the food aisle. PMS was demanding I get everything, but I said "No, we're being good." (Needless to say PMS pouted in the corner for a long time.)

Feeling like crap and holding myself occasionally like I was with child, I debated on getting something to drink, and I came across something that I thought was supposed to be in the beer section. But nope... it was a beer brand, but soda pop.

There were three flavors to choose from: Root Beer, Citrus Cucumber, and Honey Orange (the one I chose... initially for the honey orange part, but the coriander and chamomile intrigued me as well).

This delicious thing sat in my fridge for a bit, and I finally whipped it out tonight. I really liked it. It tasted sweet but not too sweet and rather refreshing. It reminded me of a light orange cream soda.

I drank about a third of the soda straight, and then I used the rest to make a float using the rest of my Blue Bunny Coco Mango ice cream. (So good!)

On the website, there's one suggested recipe for each of the sodas. I was going to post it here, but then I saw there were two (one from the site and an additional one) so instead of writing them both out, I felt lazy and posted a pic of them here.

One is called a "Main Squeeze" using vodka, orange juice, and bitters along with the soda.

The second is called "Brass Bee" which is to be combined with Rogue Farms 19 Original Colonies Mead.

Would I Ever Try This Again?: Abso-frakkin-lutely. I'm not only interested in trying the other two flavors but all the suggested cocktails as well.

SPROGS - Rice Scooters Brown Rice Snack - Roasted Corn & Poblano

"borrowed" with love from Sprogs site ^_^

So a couple days ago I wrote about the Kale & Kimchee flavor.

Yesterday I had the Roasted Corn & Poblano. Very yummy indeed.

I always make overnight oats to take to work as breakfast though lately I've been so busy in the morning, I have no time to really enjoy or even start in on my single serving. By the time I do have a moment to start in on my breakfast, my lunch break is almost upon me so I end up saving my oats for a snack later and powering through until my lunch.

Feeling a little hungry, I ate my little rice snack to tide me over until lunch time.

This treat was a little less spicy than the Kale & Kimchee one, but it had a nice added spice (as in seasoning instead of heat) that was nice, and the roasted corn had a nice flavor as well.

Ugh. I'm getting addicted.

Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription... is more Sprogs!

Would I Ever Try This Again?: Absolutely. ^_^

SPROGS - Rice Scooters Brown Rice Snack - Kale & Kimchee

pic "borrowed" from Sprogs website :)

The other day I was on the hunt for peppermint oil, and my hunt ended at Whole Foods - one of my favorite stores. While there, I was getting a little snacky, and my tummy was telling me it couldn't wait until I got home and cooked something. 

I cruised the cold case to find a salad or sandwich or something, but I couldn't make up my mind. When it became a toss up between pork buns or a wrap, I saw these tiny little rice squares in all sorts of flavors. It was so hard to choose.

Tonight I tried the Kale & Kimchee, and it was SO YUMMY!!!

I love kale. (Side note: Whole Foods has some garlicky kale... my absolute fave!)

I've also had kimchee before but mixed with things like fries or salads and know it can be quite hot. But even with someone with my limited spicy taste buds, it didn't kill me. It was just the right level of spice and heat that didn't send me running for water. And the balance of the two flavors with the rice was great.

Also the portion for me was a great filler for a late night snack when it was too late to make a full plate of something since I would be heading to bed soon.

Well done, Sprogs. Well done, indeed!

Would I Ever Try This Again?: Most definitely. So many flavors to try. ^_^

Cheetos Sweetos - Cinnamon Sugar Puffs

Mine look more rings.

I've been on the road a lot lately for the holidays, etc, and usually when I go on a road trip, I stop off at a gas station to fuel up the car and also stock up on snacks. Sometimes I have leftover snacks that I haven't even touched since I try to get things that will sate my sweet, savory, salty - all my tastes and cravings.

Recently I saw this "limited time" and thought Why not?

Now I love cinnamon sugar things - I LOVE me some churros - but sadly not all sweets can do the cinnamon-sugar combo justice. Granted, how difficult could it be? It's almost a gimme. A wham-bam-thankyouma'am knock out of the ballpark. But sadly, some people lose in this field... so I was only slightly worried.

The first thing I smelled when I opened the bag was butter. Literally, as if I were sniffing a bouquet of long-stemmed butter pats.

The first thing I taste when I place a little cinnamon-sugar circle in my mouth?... is butter. And as I chew, I know there's cinnamon-sugar goodness there, but all I taste is butter... and sweet.

Now I like butter, and by no way is this an obscene amount of butter flavor that makes me gag or anything, but it's the prominent taste. When I hold the puff in my hand, I see the dusting of cinnamon-sugar goodness, but all I get is butter.

Yes, there is a sweet aftertaste, but it's just sweet. No cinnamon or sugar aftertaste - just sweet. I had expected them to be like crunchy churro bites, but they're just Butter-O's.

It doesn't taste bad or overpowering, but I do see this being a PMS treat as opposed to an every day/occasional snack.

Would I Ever Try This Again?: I'm not honestly sure. Though if someone handed me a bag during that special time of the month, I may just eat the bag and its contents whole... but I probably wouldn't go out looking for it on my own.

Game: Monument Valley

Ida - the faceless princess

Well look at this. Something that isn't food. Well golly gee!

So it's been a while that I've been eyeing this game in the app store. I'm a gamer, and even though I play practically all kinds, my favorite types of games are adventure/puzzle games.

Examples of adventure/puzzle games I have played (and enjoyed): Oddworld, Journeyman, 7th Guest, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Sanitarium, 9, Tesserae, Rebuzzle, Word Brain, Zuma, Intelligent Cube, Obsidian... and other games that have puzzle stuff in them like Tomb Raider.

When I check out the app store on my iPhone, I always check out the same two game types: Puzzle and Word. Rarely there is anything new that catches my eye. I've dabbled in the worlds of Fruit Ninja, Candy Crush, and Temple Run, but I can only play those for so long until I need a break from them... which is odd considering playing the game is supposed to be a break in itself.

"Hi! I'm addictive!"

One day I was checking out Monument Valley in the Google game store, and they had these "if you like this, then you'd like this" suggestions next to the game, and one of them was Skyward. It looked interesting enough, and it was free - so I downloaded it.

The environment design is essentially the same to Monument Valley (though MV's design is mind-blowing in its transformations.

Skyward starts off with a portion of track where you essentially have to alternating discs (which - to me - look like tiny Necco wafers) that you have to play leap frog throughout the maze. It reminds me a little of CrossyRoad in the respect that the game ends when you die. (So I guess you can say it's also a survival game, too?)

Monument Valley - from all the pics I saw online and in the app store - always made me think of the scene from Labyrinth where Sara is trying to find her little brother Toby in that Escher-type room of stairs.

The game is entirely like that.

Pretty

So remembering my iTunes gift card from back in the day, I said, "Frak it!" and used it.

THIS GAME IS AWESOMESAUCE!!!

It didn't take long to download the game, and as soon as I played the first level, I was hooked immediately. The worlds are so pretty. Each level, each structure, a piece of amazing art all on its own. (The two levels/puzzles that stick out in my mind from the game are "The Box" and "Observatory".) So pretty, and SO COOL! (And I really love her Totem friend. I want one!!!)

Over the course of the next few days, I finished the game in about a day's time (give or take). I had to force myself to not be an ass, put the phone away, and - ya know - be social and responsible. I downloaded the game Friday and finished it Saturday.

So Monument Valley only has 10 levels which made me sad since I wanted more.

Then after the credits were done and the game ad showed, it said "download Forgotten Shores" - WHICH I DID!!!

First I played "Ida's Dream" which was previously unreleased content. Very pretty.

And then it was off to Monument Valley: Forgotten Shores.

Ida & Totem

With this expansion, you get 8 more levels... which I finished quickly and then was whining inwardly like "WHYGAWDWHY?!?!? I WANT MORE MONUMENT VALLEY!!!"

Or something like that.

My favorite level in Forgotten Shores is "The Oubliette."

This level had me saying things like "WTF?" and "That's awesome!" and "SWEET!!!"

Now normally when playing puzzle games like this, there's usually a part in the process where I get stuck and can't figure out what to do or where to go. At that point, I get all tense, shut off the system and just walk away for a while.

I was surprised at how quickly I finished the game. Not to say that it was easy, but I was waiting for that "DAMMIT!" moment but most of those moments were from being at the office or driving or stuff like that.

I have since been playing the game over and over. Admittedly there were some things that I looked at and thought "I beat you dammit. Why can't I remember you?" - which is odd since once I've played a game, the muscle memory kicks in rather quickly.

Would I Ever Try This Again?: Of course, and I have! More, please? Thanks.

Diablito from Splash Fruits

I didn't drink him.

Today I went to the outlet mall to check out some hair products for my Fro-ness. I'm always on the search for anything that can tame "the beast" without damaging my hair. Usually when I find something that works, it gets discontinued or becomes uber expensive leaving me to search out other affordable methods.

But I digress.

On the way to the beauty supply store I passed what I thought was a fruit stand... in the mall. Literally. I thought it was just a bunch of dudes selling cut up fruit at the mall to people. I don't mind it. I love fruit. Thought it was fine idea to me. But I went for hair stuff first.

Achievement Unlocked: 

Acquired Paul Mitchell - Curls "Twist Around" and "Full Circle Leave-In Treatment"

Done in the beauty supply store, I headed back for some fruit. I thought I'd at least take a look, maybe get something, and then head to Cold Stone Creamery for a drink (they apparently have Boba Milk Tea there now - at least the one in mall did).

Stopping at what I thought was a fruit stand of sorts, I saw that the name on the little set up was called "Splash Fruits" - and it's mostly fruit. I saw giant trays of watermelon, passionfruit, mango, cantaloupe, honeydew... (I'm sure there are ones that I'm missing a lot more).

There wasn't too long of a line so I walked about the little set up and saw their menu.

Snapshot of menu - complete with my silhouette

In checking out the menu, I wanted to try it all, but I settled for the Diablito. 

I'm still craving spicy in my later years, which is odd since some foods I'm now able to take, but other spicy items still need a little work. I've also had this weird fascination with mango con chile. I LOVE mangos and wanted to have some, but I never pick them up at the store. I've made elote before, but for some reason, I have yet to muster up the gumption to try some mango con chile.

Maybe later... from these guys.

Now anything with "Diablo" in it is sure to kill me because it usually means - in the food world, at

I got the small size.

least - FIRE! FIRE! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! (Or something like that.)In any case, I paid for my drink, he gave me my ticket, and I walked around to watch the fruit chef in action.

The dude took an entire watermelon and sliced it like a samurai. Damn! And it looked like a lot of things he was making were Coctel de Frutas (fruit cocktail), the second most popular item being the Tostilocos which also looked great.

My drink consisted of crushed ice, tamarind, chamoy, tajin, lemon and salt (though in looking up the recipe on the interwebs, there are many variations to the beverage, some of which are alcoholic making me think of the variations on Bloody Marys - another fave beverage of mine).. I tried watching him make it, but he was on the other side, his back blocking my view. All I really saw was him do was get the ice from the machine.

Then he called out my number, and I saw this delicious thing of shaved iceness, and I thought "Yes, of delicious refreshment of mine. Come to Mama... so mama may suck your innards out through a tamarind coated straw." 

Funny side note about tamarind - I've always been a little phobic of tamarind. Not sure that's the right word, but I would be of the mindset "OH! Something new! I want to try it!" and then this weird part of my mind would say "NOOOO!!! It looks weird. It's going to taste TERRIBLE! DON'T DO IT!

Hellooooo tasty treat!

FOR THE LOVE OF GAWD!" Then Alithea S flew in from Colorado for her grandfather's (mother's father) birthday. While she was here, Kathy W and I managed to sneak in some "basking" time with her. We spent almost all day Sunday with her, and stayed for dinner (BURGERS!!!) and family time. Some of the birthday party leftovers were offered up to me and Kathy, and I was gifted with the big unopened bottle of Tamarind Jarritos. When I asked what it tasted like, all Alithea could say was "it's sweet?" followed by "you'll just have to taste it."

So after drinking this drink, I'm SO going to try the soda (which is made with 100% sugar and NOT caffeinated - so sayeth the bottle).

In any case, I waited until I got back to the car before I took a sip, and I was literally sitting parked in my car in the parking garage saying aloud "Damn! That tastes amazing!"

Would I Ever Try This Again? WTF do you think? I just can't decide if I want to chance the mango or go for the fruit cocktail.

Lay's Chips - Southern Biscuits and Gravy & New York Reuben

So I'm trying to be a good girl and lose some weight. Not because I want to be anorexically thin. I know my body and know its shape, and that ain't ever gonna happen, y'all - mmmkay? Even if I wanted it - which I don't.

I have been rather proud of myself. I'll go to the store to pick up a few things, and I'll come across that impulsively want - like cheese or bread or something. But I've been good about walking way, reasoning with myself "Do I really want or need that?"

If you happened by me while I'm at the store, you might see me talking to myself. "Nope... you don't need anymore cheese. You have those two small blocks at home. You can get some later when you run out." That kind of thing.

There is also the whole "talking myself out of sweets" self-chat. I am amazed at the levels of NO I tell myself on a regular basis. Admittedly I will indulge in some kind of splurge like for ice cream or something, but I've also been good with "No... just a couple bites. You don't have to devour the whole thing in one sitting."

The fact that I'm listening to myself is MIND BLOWING!

One day while shopping for my oatmeal fixings (See? Healthy!), I went down the chip aisle and saw some Larry the Cable Guy's Biscuits & Gravy Chips. Now I love me some chips (PMS loves the salty goodness, and I just love chips and dip in general). I also love biscuits and gravy. But the bag was like $5.00, and I wasn't willing to spend that on something that I would most likely not enjoy. (Just had a feeling.) Still I was curious.

Fast forward to this past week when I was running errands with Jessie F. We did our thing and were heading back to her place and stopped by the store for dinner things when I walked right past some chips display extravaganza. And what did I find? Lay's Chips - 2/$5.00. And one of the flavors was biscuits and gravy.

Now the Lay's bags were a bit bigger than Larry's chip bags, and I could get two for the price of one of his. So I let it sit as we shopped for dinner.

I had completely forgot Lay's was doing the whole "Do Us A Flavor" again. This time around, the flavors are tastier. Granted I only had two so far, but still. In the same section of the display as the biscuits and gravy were the New York Reuben chips. Later at the end of our shopping spree, I decided to go back for the chips. Walking up in the opposite direction, the other side of the display had a third flavor - Greek Gyro (or something along those lines). Jessie was behind me, so I turned and asked her, "Reubens or gyros?" Loving the former, she immediately said REUBEN, and that was done.

Per our normal ritual, we ate, made cocktails and then sat on her couch to chit chat the night away. Me being me, before food, I whipped out the chips, opening biscuits and gravy first. DEAR GAWD! I love those things. I smelled the bag, and you could smell the faint scent of the breakfast treat, but once you bite into the chip? Dude. Lovely.

We ate a couple of those before I set that bag aside and opened the reuben bag. The smell from this bag was spot on sandwich goodness. The flavor was there, but we agreed it smelled more like the sandwich than it tasted.

The general consensus was that the biscuits and gravy won by a bit more, but the reuben bag was still pretty tasty. I am quite surprised in my current PMS "I want to eat everything covered in chocolate and salt" state that I didn't devour both bags completely, but I managed to display some willpower. Both flavors are quite addicting. Jessie would forget she was eating them and eventually push the bag to me begging me to take them away from her. In the end, I put them away, the bags and our friendship still in tact.

Willpower, people. The fact that I can control cravings while I'm PMS'ing the frak out?  Proof magic exists.

Well done Hailey Green (Southern Biscuits & Gravy) and Jeff Solensky (New York Reuben) with the help of Lay's. Y'all made some great chips.

Would I Ever Try This Again?: I say "yes". My PMS says "HELLS YEAH!!!"
