Arby's Horsey Sauce

My Arby's love has been severely dampened ever since they added "fresh baked" Reese's cookies to their stores and so I can't go there anymore. Freakin' Arby's, nuts aren't meat! So even as these at-home products are still safe, I'm less positively inclined toward them. Therefore, this is just fine. It's like a less intense and sweeter version of horseradish sauce. Less intense is good, sweeter isn't really good. A mixed bag. I should try it on fries instead of beef sometime maybe.

nounós vanilla bean yogurt

Yogurt in glass jars is so hot right now! And I'm loving it, it's a very classy vibe. I have no familiarity with nounos, and they didn't answer my "allergy inquiry" email, but it doesn't look like any of their current products contain nuts so I feel pretty safe anyway. This is greek yogurt but it's not super thick or anything; it's basically a nice vanilla yogurt vibe. Decent and fun. I wish my local store carried them!

2019 Sisla 'Rose Edition' Tempranillo

Aw, what a cute bottle. This is one of my more-liked wines, possibly just because I like Tempranillos more than most reds. It had a little tang, but overall was just a light fruity uncomplicated red wine. Maybe better warm than cold, but still good vibes for me either way. Definitely lifted my (sad sad) mood for a time, which I appreciate! Thanks, wine! (I didn't make the beer can chicken pairing because it's winter and I have none of the required things, but it sounded fun though.)

Hormel Compleats - Turkey & Dressing

Hooray, friends, I lived to write another bad review! I really wanted to like this because I love turkey meals, and it was soy-free! But it was just so gloopy and tasteless. Also it had waterchestnuts in it (which are not real nuts), so there was a random crunch going on. What am I doing, I asked myself as I sadly glorped this into my glob. Do not recommend.

2020 Bleasdale 'The Wild Fig' Red

O'lord, not only am I still sick, but my neck hurts something awful. Am I dying, blog? Is this the last average wine I will ever review!? I hope not, but if it is, tell the world that this wine was not my favorite red out there. It was less tart than other reds, but somehow more peppery, less sweet and fruity. You might think that'd be good, but for me, I guess as it wasn't what I expected, I didn't love it. 

Anyway, I eventually made the suggested Spicy Glazed Steak & Veggie Skewers, which were decent (even without the soy sauce) but probably not worth the effort for just a solo sick me, as with most of these meat-heavy recipes! Still, gotta do something to make life interesting, right? OK, hope you're all a lil less depressed than I am, and hope to catch you again in the near future ;)

Vermont Nut Free Skippers (Milk Chocolate)

These are basically nut-free M&Ms, which is great. The only kinda weird thing is that instead of blue, there's a tan colored one, which reads as "ah! peanut!" colored, so it's a weird mind trip. But I got over that pretty quickly. This big bag is apparently 15 servings, so, we'll see :)

Enjoy Life Gingerbread Spice Cookies

These are a solid EL cookie! Similar to the oatmeal ones and whatever other holiday one I had recently, they're sweet and flavorful and not in a weird "gluten free" way (no offense). Lots of ginger pieces in here, which is nice. Sure, they're still pretty dense little crumbly balls, but at least they taste good!
