We picked up some Oscar Mayer Selects Turkey Dogs at the store yesterday, looking for a healthier but still tasty option to satisfy a hot dog craving. We enjoyed some of the other products in the Selects line, and were hopeful for these.

We found these awesome Kinder's Pale Ale Applewood Smoked Brats at Costco. They're some of the best bratwurst we've had! Very worth the buy. :-)

I'm not much of a frozen waffle person, but I saw these Pumpkin Spice Eggo Waffles in Target and just had to give them a try. Boy, am I glad I did! They smelled absolutely amazing as they came out of the toaster, and tasted almost as good. ...

I just got back from seeing ParaNorman. It was awesome! A good story, absolutely awesome animation, and lots of funny moments and fun sight gags. It would be on the scary side for the little ones, but overall a great film for just about anyone. The ...
