Kraft Tangy Tomato Bacon Dressing & Marinade, 16-Ounce Plastic Bottles (Pack of 6) Review

This is my favorite salad dressing. It has just the right amount of tangyness and great flavor. Not too overpowering with the bacon. In fact, sometimes I put extra bacon bits in my salad.
I just cannot find this anywhere anymore except for here on Amazon. A bit pricey, though.

Sun Brand Madras Curry Powder, 16 Ounce Cans (Pack of 4) Review

Although the Sun Brand Madras curry powder tastes a little different from other brands that were listed on Amazon a couple of years ago, this stuff is still excellent! It has a slightly deeper orange hue than other Madras curries I've come across, so don't be too surprised if your curry isn't as yellow. If you purchased the Roland curries (red, cylindrical container; also in 1 pound lots), be aware that the Sun Brand is a little saltier and spicier so you won't need to use as much!
I love making curried chicken legs with an apple jelly-based sauce, and this brand of powder goes just as well as the others I've tried. If you plan on following recipes from Cuisine at Home and other similar publications, you're going to need a *lot* of curry, and purchasing through Amazon is the best (and cheapest) method available. I typically purchase between 4 and 8 pounds every year or two from Amazon, and nothing makes for a better method of entertaining guests than an exotic (but not quite Indian) dish with an American twist!
Edit: It seems some other reviews mention the strong, salty flavor of this curry. I don't notice it so much for what I use it for, but if you're trying to watch your sodium intake, be aware that this curry might contain FAR more sodium than you'd expect. I'd strongly recommend looking for the Roland Madras curry (you can search for that exact term--but be aware that it isn't often listed because it's VERY popular stuff) as it is of superior quality and flavor. This stuff makes an excellent substitute, though.
Also, I neglected to notice a comment to my review some one year ago requesting the recipe I mentioned. Assuming I don't get slapped with a DMCA take down by the magazine I borrowed it from (and modified), I've attached it in the comments to this review.
Enjoy!

Sun Brand Madras curry powder is a low-calorie way to season your favorite recipes. Use this piquant and peppery blend of herbs and spices in braises, sauces and to create an intensely flavored oil. Add to yogurt or sour cream for a zesty marinade. We love the simple curry recipe printed on the side of the tin. This British Indian curry spice blend is cholesterol free, fat free, and contains no artificial coloring.

Black & Decker TRO480BS Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Toaster Oven Review

We looked at a number of ovens and wanted something that did the basic things and didn't take up too much space. No convection (we have a convection oven) and no digital - its just a basic appliance. We looked at the B&D 240 but this just seemed too basic and too flimsy. Then we saw this one. It has all the basics, it's a good, small size and its silver / black which matches our kitchen. It has 3 controls (as compared to the basic model w/ 2) making it easy to select temp, function and time. The handle is securely attached to the glass door -the metal ends wrap around the glass so it won't fall off (a complaint about other ovens). It has a nice slide out crumb tray that has access from the front with the oven door close - this makes it very easy to empty. Nicely toasted our first bagel in just a few minutes and it was very evenly browned, something our regular toaster did not do well at all.
Pros
Gets hot fast
Basic controls work well
Easy access crumb tray
Even toasting and heating
Cons
Not many
The top and sides do get hot so don't store anything on this!

Perfect as a second oven or as an energy-efficient alternative to turning on the full-size oven, this countertop appliance offers a large capacity with a curved interior that can fit a 9-inch pizza or toast up to four slices of bread at a time. Use it to toast, bake, broil, and keep foods warm until they're ready to be served. Its user-friendly control panel consists of three knobs. The top knob adjusts the temperature up to 450 degrees F, the middle knob selects the function, and the bottom knob allows for setting the timer up to 30 minutes or choosing continuous "on", as well as selecting the shade setting when toasting bread or bagels. The unit also features a quartz heating element and 1200 watts of power to ensure fast, professional results, plus a dual-position rack for added versatility. Other highlights include an "on" indicator light, a see-through glass door to monitor the cooking progress, a convenient bake and toast signal bell, and a slide-out crumb tray for quick cleanup. A baking pan comes included. With its sleek design, stay-cool door handle, and stable feet, the toaster oven measures approximately 12-2/5 by 18-8/9 by 15 inches.
