Maple Beans, Mixed Frozen Veggies, and Tomatoes Reviewed (No Name)

This is not going to be detailed, but  brief. They are just as tasty as the name brand expensive ones. The cans used to be noticeably larger a couple of years ago, and the price has gone up since I last got this in. The maple taste is great, but there is sugar in this. Still for the price of food in general these days, I think it's worth the price. BTW they taste much  better heated up than they do cold. 7/10
The No Name mixed frozen veggies (not a luxury kind) are very good, but to say the least, I HATE green beans. Still I eat them, because I paid for them. I don't tend to like the fancy mixes, and stick to this kind. I like peas, carrots, and corn together in my soups and other cooking, so I get this. I don't have room for 3 open bags in the freezer, so I get this instead. If I had a big freezer, I'd definitely get the 3 kinds I like and mix them myself. The price is rather outrageous for the quality of the product, but I can't do any better and still have it delivered. The green beans mess it up for me kind of a lot, but It's a pass in general. 5/10
I think this is worth the price of them. I like the amount of onion, celery and so on that is mixed into it, it's not a lot, just enough to bump up the taste. There is (like ALL of their  tomatoes) always a bunch of bits of skin in them. The premium brands have way less skin in them, but you pay out the nose for them. The amount of salt in these is not all that high, so it's good, but there is salt. They are great for cooking of a quick meal by it's self. The size has not gone down in the last few years, but they have about doubled in price in the last 2 years. But it's still a great buy. 7/10

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

My New Cuisinox Moka Pot

Image
1. My friend Earth sent me the Moka pot I had in my Amazon Wishlist. I'm very grateful to have it, as the old one died (seal went) and I could not get parts to fix it. I'm very happy to have this. I was going to get one next month, but it would have been 2 weeks until I could get one and that long without a nice strong mug of coffee is a horrible fate to say the least. The French press makes coffee, but it's very much NOT strong and lacks the rich flavor that comes out of the Moka pot. 2. There she is, it's bigger than the old one but is supposed to make the same amount of coffee (9 espresso cups). 3. Here it is with the water in the base like you are supposed to do. It does indeed hold slightly more water than the old one does. 4. Nicely filled with Lavazza Rosa coffee (espresso). You don't want to over-fill it, just a bit from the top and don't pack it too tight. I wish I had one of those whisk tools for this task, they tend to make it slightly better, as it t

They Got Mad When I Used the Fun Money for Fun

Image
What can I say. They flipped completely out on my for getting a bottle of whiskey with the money they gifted me and having fun by drinking it. The thing is, they literally said it was for "Fun!" They went on in the comments of my vlog about not putting food on the table. Also said I had to have the booze on hand to drink it. Well what one do you think I did? You think I had it at home, or that I got it just that day? Make sense will ya. They also went on about "this is why I did not donate, I knew you would drink with it." And yet, you donated with the full knowledge that I probably would drink with the money, then you get pissed off that you where correct? How dumb is that? The only other time they "donated" was even less money (don't get me wrong, I'm grateful AF to get anything) they flipped out that I only said thank you in a message back to them, and not in a video for some reason. So I have to think in that case, they only send money to hear
