Have You Read These Banned Books?

This is a list of "Banned Books." I have no idea where they are banned as I did not create the list. It is probably in schools in some state in the USA (Florida, I'm looking at you). I scored 30 out of 100. I've not even heard of most of these and I have no interest in some of them (Harry Potter, I'm looking at you).

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...

The above image is a screen cap of the COTW 2 village where you start. The games are simple, but actually challenging if you do not cheat. You can play Castle of the Winds 1 and 2 on a 64 bit windows box with the emulator OTVDM . It's rather easy to find the games on abandonware sites. If you want to cheat on the game, you will need a hex editor, I recommend Hexinator . Download and unzip OTVDM then copy the COTW folders into it. Then do the following: Copy folder where you want it to be.

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...
