Kheema Turkey Paratha

Today we got some Kheema Turkey Paratha (Indian flatbread filled with minced turkey) made by Shukkhi’s Freshables and sold at the farmer’s market. It’s really good, not in the least spicy but very, very tasty. Much tastier than the keema nam usually served at Indian restaurants. It doesn’t seem to have anything “bad” in it either, though it doesn’t spicify which “spices” it uses.
The one down side could be the price, Mike didn’t remember if he paid $4 or $6. It would be OK, though not cheap, at $4 but defnitely very expensive at $6.

Trader Joe’s Swiss Almond Crunch Cookies

They’re so good they are evil. Mike warned me against getting them. He knew I’d not be able to stop myself from eating them. He even took them off the cart (but then went and got himself some shortbread!). But I had to have them.
They are sooo good, so crunchy, they taste just like you expect them too.
Obviously, I won’t be buying any more tubs.

Casa S

guacamole Casa Sanchez guacamole is the best commercial guacamole I’ve tasted so far. It’s available at Albertsons and Beverages & More for about $6-7 for a 12-oz tub. It’s expensive, but it’s fresh, it contains no preservatives, oils or fillers. The next best thing to home made.

Emeril’s BBQ Sauce

I should have known better. I knew better. A brand of BBQ sauce (or anything else for that matter) that needs a celebrity to put their name behind them cannot be very good. And I already had an idea that that guy, Emeril, was a joke. For the first time I saw his show on the Food Network (in Oregon, at the Weasku Lodge, while Mika slept in my arms). He looked like a construction worker… no, he talked like a construction worker. He was making steak tartare (which turns out to be an uncooked ground beef patty) and he was going through the steps as if instructing us how to change a faucet. Is that the deal with him? How unlikely he seems to be a top chef? Is he a top chef, anyway, or a joke to everyone but himself – or is he in in the joke as well?
But I digress, I should have known better but I bought the damn BBQ sauce (Emeril’s Sweet Original BAM B-Q). It was on sale at Safeway – Jack Daniels wasn’t. I needed two bottles. It tasted exactly like Heinz. Even Mike thought that.
If the guy is not a joke, how sad for him! I mean, to give up your whole professional credibility in order to make a few bucks! How greedy or desperate do you have to be to put your name on such a low quality product?
Now for the review: If you like Heinz BBQ sauce, you’ll like this, if not, or you’ve never tasted Heinz, avoid it.
