Yellow grits have not been available in our local supermarkets for quite some time, so when I needed some to make my new favorite, Zea's Corn Grits, I searched online. The first brand that I tried made much of being "stone ground", but the texture when cooked was too coarse for the dish. These Arrowhead Mills Organic Yellow Corn Grits were my second purchase, and they have the perfect texture. They cook quickly and are full of good corn flavor. Highly recommended.

Pappy's Choice Seasonings, 5 oz. Review

Pappy's Choice Seasonings, 5 oz.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This seasoning is delicious! It is especially good on baked chicken and baby back ribs as a dry rub. It's a nice change from Montreal seasoning for beef and lamb. I even put it in my omelettes. The company doesn't advertise and it's reputation is basically word of mouth, take my word for it, you won't be disappointed. My wife is a great cook but even she admits that Pappy's is her secret weapon for savory meats. No MSG either! If you like it you can buy a 32oz. direct from Pappy's, but they only take check or money order.
Bon Appetit!

Crown Prince Skinless & Boneless Sardines in Olive Oil;3.75-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) Review

Crown Prince Skinless and Boneless Sardines in Olive Oil;3.75-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been buying this brand of boneless and skinless sardines for years and still love to just open a can and eat them for a snack. I know that being boneless and skinless lowers the calcium level but I've never liked the crunch or taste of eating a whole sardine right from the sea. And they are packed in olive oil which is loaded with Omega 3's too so it's as good for you as are the sardines. However, I am not so sure about their actual mercury levels. Buying them from Amazon with their $10. off sale on $49. purchases is a great price. I've even found that many of the local grocery stores as well as Costco and BJ's NO longer carry this product. Or their price has skyrocketed. It's great to be able to stock pile them from Amazon. If you like sardines, you'll love these! And they are just so nutritious for us all.

Wellness Super5Mix, Just For Puppy Dog Food, 30-Pound Bag Review

Wellness Super5Mix, Just For Puppy Dog Food, 30-Pound Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My boston terrier/english bulldog puppy's coat became shiny on this food, his breath smelled good, his gas wasn't stinky, and the food appears to have excellent ingredients. However, after over a month of eating Wellness, his stool never became firm (which it was on whatever cheap food he was eating at the breeders). It alternated between runny and mushy. I'd read similar reviews on various websites, but decided to try it anyway (everyone's experiences are different). Although I have no way of knowing this, I wonder if some of the fancier dogfoods overdo it with the flax and greentea---it would certainly give me the runs. Anyway, I think it's a good food and may work well for some dogs, but we've had to transition off of it to Merrick puppy plate, which, although it has similar ingredients, seems to be firming up the poop.

Patak's Brinjal Egg Plant Relish, Medium, 10-Ounce Glass Jars (Pack of 6) Review

Patak's Brinjal Egg Plant Relish, Medium, 10-Ounce Glass Jars (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I discovered Patak's Brinjal Egg Plant Relish in the 1990s, before the label was sold to a UK food conglomerate. At the time, it was called Patak's Brinjal Aubergine (or Bringal Pickle Aubergine in some markets).
When the company transferred across the Atlantic, the new owners chose to abandon this little gem in favor of Patak's other chutney's and mint pastes -- all of them terrific. But for me, it was like losing a best friend. Talk about COMFORT food... I called the new owners at least once a year begging for a return of ambrosia.
For me, it was like trying to break a drug addiction, but in this case, there was no methadone in site. It's difficult to describe a flavor in a text review, but let me try...
Some of us like our pastes, sauces and relishes *HOT*. (This one is modestly rated as "medium"). But when recipes add chili or other heat, it is far too easy to drop the ball on the other flavors. Would you like some sweet, spicy & natural flavors dancing amongst the tangy heat? Do want a flavor that makes you close your eyes and praise the designer for giving you a tongue? If this describes you, then this is as close to paradise as it gets. Next, let's talk about VERSATILE. I spread this baby on everything (the word "spread" requires artistic license. Some firm eggplant chunks are as big as your little finger!)
Do you have to be Indian to eat this relish? Heck no! I'm a mid-west raised, New England Yankee. But this little jar of heaven has become one of my raison's d'etre (Translation: "reasons for existence"). To be fair, you have to love Indian or Mediterranean spice. It's loaded with chili, fenugreek, coriander, mustard and turmeric -- and especially fresh garlic (definitely not roasted or denatured!). And of course, it has just the right amount of heat. The basic flavor component is a bit like fermented raisins or rum w/raisin, though I doubt that there is any alcohol.
Verdict: 6 out of 5 stars. (That's not a mistake. It's THAT good!)
Want a sanity check? Sure, why not! Write to me:

If the dressing for the salad is too tart or not creamy enuf for you, you can mix with a creamy variety of Ceasar dressing, we use Marie's.

Huey Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce (28oz) Review

Huey Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce (28oz)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a bit of spice hound and have flirted with other hot sauces before, but nothing has ever seized hold of me like Sriracha. An old Greenwich Village burger joint near where I worked at NYU used to serve it on the tables with popcorn and the combo was killer. The memory haunted me for years before I finally picked up a bottle. I shouldn't have waited. This stuff is amazingly addictive with a garlicky sweet hot yumminess that's hard to describe. It sits on my table in front of the salt and pepper and I've drained a bottle in a 3 month period. Incredible on eggs, superb on burritos, utterly transforms dull dietetic chicken vegitable dishes from the Chinese restaurant. I put a squirt in the health low-sodium soups instead of more salt and all of a sudden all the flavors perk up. Utterly highest recommendation.
I, personally, do not buy the 28oz size - even though it's almost the same price as the 17oz size. (it's not a total freebie - Shipping is a bit higher on the 28oz). While Sriracha has preservatives and doesn't need refrigeration it does oxidize a bit and at the pace I use it the bottom third of the 28oz gets a bit stale for me, while I suck the 17oz down while it's still fresh. If I lived in a house with more spice hounds (I'm the only one around here) or if I were cooking with it more often in larger recipies the 28oz would be a big bargain.

These are a little different than your average ramen noodle. They still contain the artery-clogging amounts of fat (they are FRIED in palm oil, after all,) the high sodium and the whopping 380 calories per pack.
However, these are Taiwanese-style noodles, which are a little thinner and have somewhat more flavor - good enough to eat dry. They also contain two packets of seasoning. One of sesame oil, and one of chicken flavor with sesame seeds. In all, a hard on the body but oh-so-tasty edible. Just don't eat them for every meal!

While planning a tapas dinner, we sampled an excellent roasted pork tenderloin rubbed with Ras El Hanout, a Moroccan spice mixture of over 30 spices in its most traditional version. Even our local metropolitan spice emporium didn't have it. We were delighted to locate it from this seller on Amazon. A wonderful spice mixture from a vendor who shipped promptly. I look forward to trying it added to a stew and rubbed on other meats. Ras El Hanout 4 Oz By Zamouri Spices

As featured in The Oprah Magazine Cookbook and O, The Oprah Magazine.This is NOT a simple version of Ras el Hanout found in cookbooks; this is AUTHENTIC! In Moroccan language, Ras el Hanout literally means head of the store or the best spice mixture a merchant has to offer. (also known as ras al hanout or ras el hanouth, raz al hanout or Moroccan Seasoning)Ras el Hanout is a spice blend that Zamouri Spices is proud to present as its best and most unique mix that any adventurous palate would love to experience. The secret of this mix and its recipe is passed down through generations. Native to Morocco, every spice vendor in the region has its own recipe. Zamouri's, too, has its original blend used only in the remote region of Zamour (North Africa Atlas Mountains) for a thousand years.Ingredients from over 30 different herbs and spices include: Grains of Paradise, Lavender, turmeric, ajawan seeds, kalajeera, ginger, galangal, oris root, rose buds, monk's pepper, cinnamon and more! (Sorry, no spanish fly. It is illegal in the USA)This blend is claimed to have aphrodisiac properties. Used mostly during cold seasons by locals, but it is essential in B'Stilla (Almond Chicken Pie) and nearly every Moroccan tagine recipe, especially Chicken Tagines. You can add a pinch or tsp to your favorite soup or stew or rub it into meats before cooking.

Patak's Sweet Mango Chutney, Mild, 12-Ounce Glass Jars (Pack of 6) Review

Patak's Sweet Mango Chutney, Mild, 12-Ounce Glass Jars (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like to tinker in the kitchen and make my own chutney but when winter comes I fill my pantry with Patak's. Compared with other chutney brands, I find Patak's offers a bolder taste that is both spicy and salty.
We buy Sweet Mango Chutney for the entire family because Patak's rates this blend at two chilies on a five-chili scale. Our sons, ages 7 and 5, have no trouble enjoying the chutney. I like hotter chutney as well but don't want to use up the refrigerator space by storing multiple jars.
Chutneys - derived from the Hindu word chatni - have many variations and can range from sweet, sour, hot or mild. Chutney consists of fruits, vegetables or a combination of both that is reduced to a pulp that is roasted or simmered and flavored with spices, sugar and vinegar.
Patak's Sweet Mango Chutney blends juicy mangoes with authentic spices and is served as a condiment to a curry but is also delicious on sandwiches (especially turkey, so keep it handy after Thanksgiving!) and hot salads.
Aida Mollenkamp at Chow offers this recipe for Cheddar and Chutney Tea Sandwiches.
TIME/SERVINGS
Total: 35 mins
Active: 5 mins
Makes: 8 tea sandwiches
The question is not whether cheese and chutney go well together, but rather which cheese to choose. As a nod to the British, we've opted for an aged sharp cheddar to star in this sandwich, but snacking in the test kitchen revealed that fresh goat cheese is a close runner-up.
Game plan: Let the sandwiches rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving, so the chutney has time to soak into the bread.
INGREDIENTS
8 tablespoons mango chutney
16 slices (2-1/2-by-2-1/2-inch) dark pumpernickel cocktail bread
4 ounces aged sharp cheddar, thinly sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
Spread a thin layer of chutney on one side of each bread slice. (You will use 1 tablespoon per sandwich or 1 1/2 teaspoons [1/2 tablespoon] per slice of bread.)
Top 8 slices with a layer of cheese (about 1/2 ounce per slice) and close sandwiches with remaining 8 slices of bread. Let sit about 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve sandwiches whole, or if you like, slice each sandwich in half on the diagonal.
Here's another delicious chutney recipe I found online:
Chutney-Glazed Cheese Pate
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons dry Sherry
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 green onions, finely sliced (optional)
Mango chutney
Process the first five ingredients using a food processor until well blended. Spread cheese mixture in a ½" thick disc on a serving platter. Cover and chill until serving time. At serving time, spread the top of the cheese with chutney. Top with sliced green onions. Serve with crackers.
