Post #3 - April 17th, 2011, 5:36 pmMHays,
I get a vibe from your selection that bacon, cupcakes and wraps are soooo yesterday.
I have yet to have a wrap to my liking. I don't mind burritos with Mexican ingredients. I do mind taking a burrito wrapper and shoving just about anything in it.
Or did I misunderstand you?

Wow, Denny's even manages to make bacon look unappetizing...

I'm so with you on this.

Post #9 - April 19th, 2011, 5:48 pmPosted too soon - because there are "healthy" spaghetti tacos, and "dessert" spaghetti tacos.
Shoot me.

Post #12 - September 8th, 2011, 8:10 amI haven't been able to find a pic of this online, and I know Jewel frowns on photography, but I was astounded by this package in the Produce section:
Paula Deen Bacon and Butter Flavor Sauced Green Beans
Really? One of the simplest produce items to deal with, and you prepackage them with two fats (I'm guessing probably only one and a bunch of flavorings) and a celebrity face on the package.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Yup, apparently she has a whole line, I saw potatoes somewhere too - what's worse, the beans don't come with a "sauce packet" they're just all slimy with it. Why not just package "Bacon and Butter Flavor Sauce" and put it with the &*^% produce? (Though I will admit, I do often buy the pre-trimmed and washed plain raw haricots verts.) Ick.
