Garbage Bin Grave Yard

Broken garbage bins graveyard. The city seems to have wanted to hide them, so they placed them across the road from the city barns where they keep the sand and so on stored. They are hidden behind a pile of sand way at the back of a road not many go down. to think of all that tax money spent on bins that break so easy. There are 2 of the big ones in the back of my building for us to use. They have both been replaced twice that I know of. One of the new ones no longer has lids on it. They are broken off. What can one say? They just are not made to work in an environment where they are exposed to the cold. But then again the lids broke off our new one in the summer... Sigh...

      We spent millions of this and keeps spending piles of money on a system that does not work. Yes it's sad.

    So much for local authorities being green. These are obviously not gonna be recycled by the looks of it

      Yes a bunch of council members ran on the idea of recycling in the city. So they got in, added on a hidden tax threw the water bill to pay for it and here we are with literally a tone of plastic sitting in a city yard doing nothing. They are recyclable - I looked... So why are they just storing them in a hidden place? Sigh... BTW we don't get recycle bins in the apartment building at all. So I just toss it out. Only the houses got the bins. Best thing is ALL the water bills went up not just the houses...

RAMPAGE COFFEE CO RIOT BLEND REVIEW

Image
  Rampage Coffee Co. is located in Saskatoon Saskatchewan and is a small batch coffee roasting company that makes 3 different and very unique blends. The company is still small and the owners still work in other jobs. They are also very community minded and donate part of the profits to upstart artists, musicians and the like. Today I fired up a fresh ground pot of "Riot Coffee". I had to say it was a very enjoyable experience. There was a very fresh taste to the coffee, a lot more fresh that I have ever had the pleasure to experience in the past. Also had hints of caramel and chocolate in the background. The acidity was low compared to a lot of coffee I have had and it was only slightly bitter. It was a smooth cup of coffee and the aroma was wonderful and full bodied. This is how I would like coffee to be. You can't expect to get any more fresh than this. It is made per order on a Monday, packaged on a Tuesday then mailed out on a Wednesday. Depend...

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...
