Sensible Portions Veggie Chips (Sea Salt)
I’m really enjoying the Sensible Portions Veggie Chips (7oz, $3.39). They have no cholesterol or trans fat and 30% less fat than potato chips. It very clearly labels portion size as 38 chips which is a satisfying amount. As with pretty much every type of veggie chip you won’t get much nutrition from these but […]
Revolution in Libya and Cinnabons for All!
While Gadhafi’s removal from power is a net positive for Libya, the work of their revolution is surely ongoing. New infrastructure, democracy, and help for the poor will all need to be put in place. Of course, after all the violence significant parts of the country must be rebuilt, some from the ground up. On […]
(Closed) Brighton Beach: Russian Coriander Rye from Grevico Bread
Grevico Bread is a small unassuming store located on a side street off Brighton Beach Avenue. (located at 129-3 Brighton 1st Street).

It’s rich tasting even for a stout. Unlike some “chocolate” stouts the dark chocolate flavor comes through along with a satisfying maltiness without being a […]
Brighton Beach Brooklyn Adventures: Akkond Russian Dark Chocolate Marshmallow
During my infrequent visits to Bright Beach Brooklyn I like sampling amazing food from the various Russian, Ukraninian, Georgia and Uzbek food places. For chocolates though I love going to Nature’s Delight. Any store that sells chocolates, dried fruits, nuts and spices out of big buckets is okay by me. The store is located at […]
McNeill’s Ruby Ale Review (Vermont)
The McNeill’s Ruby Ale hails from Brattleboro, Vermont. It has a high 5.7% ABV and comes in a 22oz size. The first thing I noticed is the appealing floral smell. It’s somewhere between an amber to orange in color.The head is decent. It features enough hops to make it interesting. The malt flavors comes out […]
Irene’s Cuisine in Bradley Beach Review
We went to Irene’s, located 608 Main St in Bradley Beach after the Starving Artist in Ocean Grove had a wait of over an hour due to the post-Church rush. Now we know to check out OG on any day/time except for Sunday 11-2. Irene’s is a classic diner including some Greek options. Unlike most […]
