Häagen-Dazs Pralines & Cream Ice Cream - Review

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 expensive as heck for the amount you get. There is a tone of sugar in this.

On the plus side, I enjoyed the hell out of it. It is a bit more than a single serving should be, but you don't want just a bit left for later, so it's an excuse to eat it all - and probably not feel guilt.

I'm going to put this at a 7.5/10 - I'm knocking half a point off, because the taste won't go away and I want it too.

Note: Pralines are made a dozen different ways and are common in the Southern part of the USA. This is just the companies spin on them.

Coffee or Not Coffee That Is The Question

Image
I got this on sale for a bit less than $7 a bag (250g). It's very good and I like it a lot. The thing is, it's now almost $10 a bag. The other blends of Lavazza coffee are almost $8 a bag. Now I tend to use 5 bags a month on average for just 1 cup of coffee a day with my large Moka Pot. This has become a very large expense to say the least. Sure I can get a close to 1KG can of coffee for $16 at my local store, but it it worth the price at all? I don't think it is. If I have coffee at home, I want to be able to enjoy the hell out of it, not just use it to wake up. The entire point of coffee to me is the ritual of making it, and the great pleasure I get in consuming a very good cup of coffee. So when it's going to set me back close to $43 a bloody month to have coffee at home, I think I'll skip it to say the least. Six months ago that was about $28 a month. So in half a year, the price has gone through the bloody roof and it's become the luxury of the wealthy to a...

It's Bloody Cold in My Apartment and It's Causing Me a Lot of Pain

Image
Got to wonder if the person from Moose Jaw Housing that decides the boiler should be BLOODY OFF in the building has the heat in their home turned off right now, or if they are comfortable and warm - while about 90 people freeze in here. Phoning in and/or emailing does about nothing it seems. This has happened many times and only once did they turn the bloody heat on. This is literally not legal - it's not allowed to be under 16C, or THEY are responsible for giving you an electric heater to use until it warms up. But here I sit being in terrible pain, because I have fibromyalgia and the cold causes me a hell of a lot of pain. I know I'm disabled and on the system to survive, but I'm a bloody human and if people treated animals like this, they law would come down on them - yet here we are humans freezing in our apartments. I've lived in some doggy places in my time, but this is the only one where it's been extremely cold in the place. I do have to note, they they kee...
