2021 Freak of Nature Unfiltered Rosado

This was pretty wild as wines go. There's sediment in it (it's "unfiltered") so it's thick and looks like juice. It was very tart, though. Summery, fruity (strawberry vibes), pleasant enough. Lars did not like it (but it was a few days old at that time). 

I made the suggested Gazpacho, which was my first gazpach. I was impressed with the texture, but it really did taste like watery salsa. I don't think I will seek out a future gazpacho (although I did consume the entire 8 gallons or whatever all myself, whew).

Hershey's Kisses - milkilicious

These are tasty! Better than a regular kiss, I think (although not THAT different) -- the inside has a creamier - yes, milkier - taste than normal. Plus kisses are in a cute portion size already, and these wrappers are adorbs.

two-bite cupcakes - Strawberry Shortcake

Normally I am delighted by this brand of nut-free (and proud!) cupcakes from Canada, but this flavor didn't quit hit the mark. The strawberry goo in the frosting is weirdly firm and chewy (is it old? IDK) and the taste is artificial. I mean, they're fine, but I definitely prefer the chocolate and vanilla ones. They're very sweet.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch minis Cereal

This had me anxious because there is also a Reese's Puffs Minis. But the label reads as safe, and I gotta live my life, blogarinos. I like regular CTC, and I also like this. It's very airy, so the texture is quite different. The taste is basically identical, though -- cinnamon sugar and a tinge of malt. I don't know which I prefer. Both are solid.

Oscar Mayer Cheese Dogs

Cheese is these hot dogs's toxic trait. Why is there cheese in there? Worse, why is it in weird little polka dots throughout, rather than in a stripe or something?! I can just buy cheese! And it doesn't super go with ketchup, but it isn't very good without, so IDK what to do with these. They're filling and quick but a little gross.

Eggo Blueberry Waffles

They're a classic for a reason! I like the little stick 'n seal strip they include - talk about innovation in waffle tech. Two toaster cycles works well for these, and they're a solid, tasty brekkie.

Philly Cheesesteak Pringles

There sure are a lot of pringles flavors. I like that, even if I don't like the flavors. This was a wild one. I did taste the onion for sure, maybe the bread, and some oily/greasy vibes. Also I get a taste of pringle, though. And maybe cheese powder? which is very different from cheese. It is OK, and interesting, but not great. Bottom tier pringle.
