Häagen-Dazs Coffee Ice Cream - Review

Image
Häagen-Dazs Coffee Ice Cream is typically expensive but I got this on sale for $5. Well, for the name alone, you expect this to be the best coffee ice cream ever, but it was not. I've had many that compare directly to this one. It's not as rich as I remember from years ago when we used to get the brand for a treat. The coffee flavor was overpowering the ice cream taste. Plus side, it's a good size for one person to munch down if you ask me. It tastes good. Minus side, it's expensive for what you get. It's not the most premium tasting I've had. I was expecting it to be more rich, and I was disappointed. This being said, it's better than a some I've had for comparable prices. I'm going to give it a 6.5/10. It needs to be richer, and less powerful on the coffee taste.

Häagen-Dazs Pralines & Cream Ice Cream - Review

Image
Häagen-Dazs Pralines & Cream Ice Cream is as all of the brand, normally expensive, but I got this on sale for $5. A Praline is a candied Pecan. They are soft for a nut and sugared as heck. The taste is just what you would expect if you put sugar and caramel on a Pecan. The top of the container had a bunch of caramel on top (syrup like) and not much anywhere else in the ice cream. However it fills your mouth with the taste of it and you keep tasting it long after you finish the ice cream. This is a very pleasant treat to say the least. It's top quality and above the norm for ice cream. It was however not as rich as I expected it would be for some reason. There where a lot of nuts in the container, but not too many - I think there was just enough to satisfy the nut lover in me (I heard you snicker!) The taste is exceptional, but not over the top good. On the downside the after taste won't go away, seriously, it's been 2 hours and I still taste it in my mouth. It's exp...

12 Great Sci-Fi Movies From the 1970's Reviewed

Image
The challenge is to review these 12 movies from memory. I looked up the ratings and nothing else. So let's give it a go. Warning: Spoilers 1. Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) IMDB 7.1/10 ME 7/10 This is about a computer brilliant man who creates a vast computer that is able to think on it's own, it's intelligent. However, it becomes aware and it takes over the world in combination with it's Soviet counterpart. They are both in total control of the nukes on both sides. They demonstrate a show of force and the people fall in line, right down to the secret police disappearing people that are deemed a threat to the peace that the computers have forced onto the world. It is left open ended and with total control of the population of the world. There are many people who think there was a part II to this movie, but there was not. 2. The Andromeda Strain (1971) IMDB 7.2/10 ME 6/10 A small town has been devastated by some mysterious plague. The people sent to look into it fin...

July Blogging Challenge Day 1

Image
What's on my mind right now? My health mostly. I'm having issues with my legs to say the least this last three days. They hurt like hell, and I can hardly walk on the bloody things. Thursday I go out for coffee (I hope) and don't know if I can get in my friends SUV or not right now. She keeps telling me to sit on the seat, then lift my legs in. Well I'm a bit too talk for that and my foot hits the door, and I have to force it in, and that really hurts. Getting out is the same thing, I have to force my left foot out. Monday I have to go get money out for the doctors visit on Tuesday as the injection is not covered. I will pick it up on Thursday after coffee and put it in the fridge I guess. I got not one clue what to do with it, I've never done this before. I just hope it's covered by my plan (the drug - the injection done by the doctor is not). What else is on my mind? Well I want a fecking drink of vodka or 20 right fecking now! But I can't be doing that to...

I Burned My Belly and Being Plus Sized

Image
I seem to have partly cooked my belly. I was walking over to the sink with a pot of bailing water to drain in the strainer, when I slipped, and the pot hit the counter and splashed my belly. The image is actually on it's side, it's running horizontal. It's also a hell of a lot more red looking that the photo - but then again my skin is a hell of a lot lighter in real life. Not like I got perfect skin or anything, but I bloody hurt. I've got other scars and a lot of marks from graining a vast amount of weight in a short time in the 30's when I stopped being able to work. I jumped up over 500 lbs (I thought it less, but I found my records on paper). I've actually lost about 180 lbs in the years I've been trying to loose the weight. Then it just stalled. One day, it started to go back up and I been bouncing up and down since then. I was down to 330 lbs at one time, but am at this moment 361 lbs. Oh well, I am fated to a plus sized - even if I did lost a lot mor...

I Think Prank Videos Are Stupid

Image
98% of prank videos are so incredibly fake, it’s hard to believe people actually waste time watching them. If I see it in my feed, I’m never going to click on it. Seriously, how can you not know they are totally fake AF. A good example is a woman “pranking her daughter”. Well, the prank is she is faking piercing her tong with a meat probe. Well, the fake tong is so unrealistic you would have to be less intelligent than the average house plant to fall for this, yet the girl is screaming her head off – FFS, yeah right. There is a shit tone of videos in her profile and all “pranking my daughter” crap. You would think after, I don’t know, 25 of these in a year, you would know she is full of bullshit and this is fake. This brings us back to a total and complete set up on both their parts, and the one being pranked is clinically stupid. Others I’ve seen are “prank the wife” – well, how many people are sleeping in their daytime clothing for example – or in the shower with a freaking bathing s...

No Name Dark Roast Coffee a Review

Image
No Name Dark Roast Coffee is not the worst coffee I ever had, but It's not all that great. I was looking for coffee that would be acceptable and way less money than the Lavazza that I normally got. I use a lot of coffee in the Moka Pot, for just one mug of coffee (24oz). So I got this instead with my grocery order. The taste is slightly burnt, slightly woody, and a faint hint of nuts. There is a bitter aftertaste that lasts a hell of a long time after you drink this stuff. It also leaves your mouth feeling oily. For the price of it however, it's acceptable ($15.99 for 925g) a months supply of Lavazza was close to $40 - so it's a big saving. You do give up quality and taste for a saving. It's like most truck stop coffee. Nothing special, just something to give you a kick start. Well it did have a kick to it, I'll give it that. But the taste is not great. I honestly think I'll just drink tea from now on, as I can get a lot of tea for less money than this one bag o...
