Survival Food Review: Expired Emergency Food Bar - 1997 Mainstay!



Bottom line: Color is a little darker than it is when new. No scent of lemon. Smells somewhat like wax. Texture is dry and gritty. No hint of spoilage in the taste. A hint of the original lemon and sweetness. Better than expected. Would eat it in an emergency.

Spirits Review #46: Tolon Tolon  - Chocolate Cream Liqueur!



Bottom Line: Nothing much on the nose. Sweet, creamy vanilla with  with only a light chocolate note. Slight alcohol on the end. It’s better in coffee than it is by itself. 4 Thumbs up!

The entire reason we went to Southern Pines Nac, this juice was just released & you can only buy 2. However, we just got one, had to get some Rye and pistachio cream bourbon 

Don’t know if I’ll ever open it…

I actually think it’s trout, but they cook and eat about the same.

Fresh lemon and dill. Basted with a 50/50 melted butter/lemon juice mixture with a good dash of liquid smoke. Grilled on a pellet smoker at high temp until the thick part is 165°
