A nice potato salad, I have had better but when it comes with meal deal, I couldn't complain. Actually a not bad salad, just not an outstanding one. Very high in the sodium department 1/2 cup serving gives you 26% of the recommended daily intake. In a pinch or so that I wouldn't have to prepare a meal I would buy this again. But not too often. I make a killer potato salad and this did not compare. -

Tonight I cheated, went to Safeway to pick up the $10.99 chicken meal deal. This time you could substitute Reser's for the normal Deli salads , well I chose this Cole Slaw and was glad I did. It was fantastic, like grandma used to make.
Thought to treat my Mom so we both didn't have to cook. Yum, what a treat. I've never bought Reser's Cole Slaw before and this 425 g tub will do us for 3 meals. Can't give you a price as it was part of the meal deal, all I can tell you is that I will buy it again. It was very good. A bit high in the sodium area but other wise very healthy.

D'Italiano Tostati Rye with Caraway seeds

Went to my RCSS Warehouse Club to pick up some of their 99 cent bread only to see that they wee out of bread. So I saw these cute little Tostati things. Thought what the heck, picked up a pack to try (hey at 99 cents, what could I lose). To my surprise I like, no make that loved them.
They are this little slices of twice baked bread and even plain are excellent. Good taste, I an see them being served as an appetizer all dolled up with cheese or smoked salmon etc. I just nibble on them plain because I really enjoy the flavor. I love rye bread and the caraway taste is very minimal.
They are made by Weston Bakeries Ltd, Toronto, so a nice a Canadian product.
I would definitely recommend them. Umagine the things you try because you cannot find bread.

KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper

My daughter bought me this 3.5 cup food processor for Mother's Day and today was the first time I have used it. Man oh man did it save me time. I cannot believe how quick it was to chop up those peppers ready for the freezer. Believe me it took me more time to figure out how to use it than it did to chop 10 lbs of peppers (red & green) for the freezer.
This little machine is going to make my life so much easier. I do volunteering for an organization called SMILE-Edmonton and we do cooking and feeding of the homeless. We make up a lot of casseroles and up to date I have been chopping everything by hand. Silly me, I should have known there was an easier way.
When we get a real good deal on produce, we will clean it, chop it and freeze it to put into soups and casseroles at a later date. We operate on donations and from out of our own pockets so every bit we can save is vital. In order to ensure that the people we feed get a lot of nutrition in their meals we add lots of chopped veggie to everything imaginable. I cannot believe the amount of time this precious little machine is going to save me. Now if only I had another freezer.
All I can say is thank you Kitchen Aid, I love my little machine and cannot thank you enough for creating something that will cut my chopping time down by probably 75%.
Would I recommend this little beauty, your darn right I would. I am going to recommend it to the rest of the crew who have been spending hour and hours at the chopping block and anyone else who will listen to my praising of it.
Now if some free food would jump into my grocery basket I would really be in seventh heaven.

I am an avid gardener who loves to play in the dirt and refuses to wear gloves. My hands at times really need theraputic treatment after a full days gardening.
Crabtree and Evelyn, while being amazing products are a little bit pricey, so I watch for the sales. If you are a good, steady customer they will contact you to let you know when they are having a sale or just a few specials pertinent to you. This is when I usually stock up on the items I use the most.
This hand cream is wonderful,it soothes my hand and hydrate them, while softening and healing at the same time. The fragrance of their products is heavenly, light, soothing and so very calming.
I would recommend this product to all you gardeners out there and even those who don't garden. It is an excellent cream to use.

I needed something cordless to vacuum out my car and since I needed to use up some AirMiles points ordered this wet/dry vacuum. WOW, am I glad I did. This little machine holds a charge forever. Cleans like crazy, is light weight and easy to use.
I cannot give you a definite price but the AirMiles website claims it was worth about 139.00. Knowing how well this little beastie works I would gladly pay that much if I had to buy another one. When I ordered it I was a little bit leery as I have tried so many cordless hand held vacuums and have always been so disappointed. Well let me tell you this little baby makes my cleaning life so much easier. I keep it close at hand for any little spills or messes that I need to deal with. Great for cleaning up that little bit of kitty litter the kitten kicks out every time she uses the box.
I would definitely recommend this to any one who needs a cordless hand held vacuum. It holds a charge so very well with its 14.4V rechargeable battery. (I have been using it for well over a month and I haven`t needed to recharge it yet).
Would make a great Father`s Day gift for your men folk. (Then you can use it whenever you want, just don`t let them know that it is really for your use).

Chocolate and Peanut Butter together in ice cream is like a dream come true. While Haagen-Daz is usually to pricey for my budget I just had to try this one. So glad I did, it was out of this world. Couldn't believe how something could be this good.
As I mentioned it is usually a bit high priced for me but from now on when I really feel I need a decadent treat it will be this one. Only I am not sharing, all you other people can go buy your own .or that is what I will tell them when they ask for a taste. Haagen-Daz you have made my day.

Dove Cool Moisture Lotion with Cucumber and Green Tea is such a soothing lotion. When applied to dry skin it cools and calms. It contains a 24 hour Nutri-Serum that goes beyond moisturization and makes your skin smooth and radiant.
This lotion comes in a convenient pump bottle and can usually be found at Walmart and Shoppers Drugs for around $5.97 for the 400 ml bottle.
I bought the one for normal skin and found that it hydrates my skin so quickly, absorbs almost immediately. Within 24 hours I noticed such a dramatic change in my skin. What once was dry and stiff is now soft, moist and supple. I recommend this lotion to anyone needing that little extra moisture boost. The price is so good that it fits into almost every budget.

Dan Brown is one of the best authors of our time. I enjoyed his novel The Da Vinci Code immensely. Couldn't put it down, It thrilled me, frightened me and consumed me with thoughts and made me do some very serious thinking. I also watched the movie, which, although excellent left a lot of what was in the book out.
I love the fact that Dan Brown's books revolve around religion. I have always found religion and especially the history of religion to be fascinating reading. The way this book The Da Vinci Code unfolds is so spell binding, keeps you from putting it down for any length of time and covers so many bases and answers so many questions. But still leaves you wondering.
The suspense is riveting, while the cruelty is unbelievable (not that I didn't believe that it happened, but how people could be so devious and evil). You definitely see a different, crueler side to the Catholic Church. Some of your beliefs come into question and this magnificent book leaves you wanting more answers.
Kudo's to Mr Brown for giving us, once again, such a riveting book.
Next on my list is Inferno, this I feel is another must read.

Dollarama is a great little store, such low prices and the variety and range of products is phenomenal. I once shopped there for a baby shower. Would you believe for $10.00 I bought a three pce sleep set, a receiving blanket, two bibs, two pair of baby sox and a toy. Pretty cheap shower gift and the quality was excellent.
I pop in every so often to see what is new. When I remarried, I made corsages and boutiniers for all the guests, and yep, you are right, the flowers came from Dollarama. If I remember correctly all the ingredients to make up the floral gifts, including my bridesmaids bouquets, cost about $40.00, and there were about 90 quest that received corsages etc.
I love to checkout there food offerings, I happened to stumble onto a website that believe it or not has a bunch of what it calls Dollar store recipes, which by the way are excellent.
The Dollarama that I shop at is kept neat and tidy and always well stocked. I also do up Samaritan Purse boxes for Christmas giving and the majority of the items I put in to these boxes come from Dollarama. This way instead of just donating one box I can do three or four.
I love this store, and would recommend it to anyone who likes to save a penny (dollar) or two.
