potsygal says "Canned tomatoes "kicked up" a notch!!" about muir glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes

potsygal — Mon, 04 May 2009 20:17:49 GMT

I love Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes!! I always have them on hand to use in any recipe calling for diced tomatoes. They have a wonderful smokey fire roasted taste that adds extra flavor to my recipes. I also use them in my easy food processor homemade salsa. I just add a drained can along with chunks of onion, jalepenos and cilantro and pulse till the right consistency. Add salt if it needs it. I can't buy anything in the grocery store that tastes better.

potsygal says "Wonderful suction for pet hair!!!" about Hoover - WindTunnel - Bagless Upright Vacuum - U5753-900

potsygal — Mon, 04 May 2009 19:56:15 GMT

I absolutely love this vacuum. It picks up the hair from my dogs and cats like a charm. My previous vacuum was an Oreck and I vacuumed my whole house with it right before getting this one. I went over the carpet with the Hoover Windtunnel and I couldn't believe the amount of dirt, hair, and old Carpet Fresh the Oreck left behind. I love all of the attachments, and the fact that it's bagless. I empty the canister and the filter after each use and it really gets the job done.

The only con is that it is a little on the heavy side, but it cleans so much better than my light weight Orek.

potsygal says "Non stressful way to clean outside windows!!" about Windex Outdoor All-In-One Window Cleaner

potsygal — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:08:26 GMT

I loved the fact that I could clean my outside windows myself with Windex Outdoor All in one Window Cleaner!!

I found it very easy to use and it did a great job on my windows. I liked the fact that I could do it without having to use a ladder, thus not having to hire someone else to do it.

My windows were not that dirty to begin with , so this did a fantastic job. I think if I kept it up regularly, never allowing them to become real dirty, this would work quite well for me. I can see if you had really dirty windows this may not be as effective. I loved the fact that it was very easy to rinse, and left hardly any streaking.

I am planning to use it on my parent's windows in the next few weeks, as well.

I can rate this product very highly & will continue to use it.

potsygal says "your feet feel free" about Crocs Cayman

potsygal — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:47:43 GMT

I have had my crocs for almost a year and since then I have not had any foot pain, I have so much more stamina when I'm on my feet all day. Nothing's worse than an ill fitting pair of shoes, they make me tired, and grouchy , and make me want to cut my shopping trips short just so I can get off my feet Some people may say they are ugly, but I don't care. For me it's all about the comfort, and boy are they comfortable!...

potsygal says "chocolatey goodness in a jar" about Nutella Hazelnut Spread 13oz

potsygal — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:16:28 GMT

Nutella is loved by everyone in my house, so much so that both my daughters have to have their own jars. One of them always sneaks in with a spoon causing the other one to freak out and refuse to eat anything out of that jar. So I solved the problem by buying and labeling the jars with their names. Now these aren't little kids we're talking about they are 18 and 20 years old.
We use the chocolaty nutella on everything. We microwave it for an ice cream topping, use it in sandwiches, to dip strawberries in, on toast, crepes, or just out of the jar with a spoon.
The texture is just like peanut butter, but to us the flavor is so much more decedent, the combination of chocolate and hazelnuts is one winning combination.

potsygal says "The best ice cream ever, just like homemade" about blue bell homemade vanilla ice cream

potsygal — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:01:11 GMT

blue bell homemade vanilla ice cream is the best ice cream I have ever had. It tastes just like old fashioned homemade ice cream. It is made in a little creamery in Brennam,Texas and is sold in all the grocery stores in Texas. Not sure if it is available in other states, but it sure should be. The quality of this product is always consistent and has never let me down. This is the flavor that they started with years ago and they have added lots of new flavors over the years. All the flavors are good, but the homemade vanilla is my all time favorite. It is good all by itself, with hot fudge, in milk shakes, you name it, there's nothing better. The texture, flavor, everything is perfect. Oh, and the price is good too. Around $5.00 for half a gallon....

potsygal says "Great Mexican Food, Killer top shelf Margaritas, Very low prices" about chachos - San Antonio, TX

potsygal — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 03:30:41 GMT

This restaurant offers lots of different Mexican food items. They are all muy delicioso. My favorite are the bean, cheese and guacamole gorditas. For those of you that aren't familiar with gorditas they are wonderful fried masa pockets filles with beans and cheese and topped with guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes. The great thing about Chachos is their fantastic salsa bar. They have lots of different hot sauces, pico di gillo, onions, jalapenos, a creamy spicy cilantro sauce, a creamy avacado sauce and a fantastic mango pico di gallo, that inclues jicima.
Now on to the margaritas. The frozen top shelf margarita is the one to get. They are really the best I have ever had and they are so smoooth. The texture is just perfect.
The combination of these two tasty treats is Heaven to me and the price is so low you won't believe it.
The best time to go is after the lunch rush and before Happy Hour, unless you like crowds.
This place is kind of a hole in the wall, but......

potsygal says "This is sooooo good" about Grey Poupon savory honey mustard

potsygal — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 02:57:09 GMT

Honey mustard isn't just for kids anymore. I had the opportunity to try Grey Poupon Savory Honey Mustard and it is really good. It is bold and spicy with the sweetness you'd expect from a honey mustard. It is great on chicken nuggets, hard or soft pretzles, and anything else you can dip into it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a hot ham and cheese sandwich. Although it is spicy, my kids love it too....
