Tasty New Mexican I went to Green Chile for the first time last night, and was pleasantly surprised. It is "New Mexican" cuisine, which I have to admit, I don't really know what that means. However, my enchilada plate was really delicious. It's no $5 dollar burrito from the Mission, but you are definitely getting...

Delicious Decadence Straus is the company that puts out quality, simply. The Vanilla Bean is incredibly rich and fresh tasting, it's hard to stop at eating a little

Misnomer Perhaps, I'm an idiot. Perhaps not. But... I always thought a spork was where the tines fused with the bowl of the spoon, to create a magical hybrid of culinary utility. This "spork" is no such thing. It has a fork on one end, and a spoon on the other--not nearly as mind-blowingly awesome.

A wishy-washy white I'm waiting for the day when you don't have to use the notion of "organic" as a discount for something's quality, but sadly, you still have to do that for the Viognier. Someone else that it was fruity, but I thought it was dry--but the dryness only offered a bitter taste.

A palatable red wine The bottle, to its credit, does not claim to be more than it is. An everyday wine, a blend--not horrible, but not transcendent either. Being organic, it gives it more street cred than a conventional with a similar taste, but it still wouldn't be my go to unless I needed to...

Cote Zero? More like worth zero... A bitter, metallic taste is not what I look for in a bottle of wine. It had to force it down my throat just so I wouldn't feel bad about wasting something. I'll turn to Two-Buck Chuck any day over this stuff.

Yeah, not bad... Yeah, not bad. Saltines are delicious, and surprisingly, these things made a great almond butter & jelly sandwich. I'd recommend it (okay, peanut butter would probably work fine too).

What I expect from jelly. I do not expect transcendence; rather, something to welcome me in the morning without too much extreme. This stuff definitely would do that, but at the same time, I don't think it was spectacular enough for me to go out of my way to get.

Kind of too sweet for me I was looking for something more tart with this jam, something I could walk away still tasting. This thing was a little too sweet, and almost runny.

My First Five Star Rating... ...and it's because it didn't kill me. Perhaps I should preface the fact that I'm allergic to peanuts, and thus, almond butter is the only way to go for me. It's smoothly creamy and has a nice, subtle nutty flavor. A-Ok in my book.
