Bellavitano Merlot Wisconsin cheese by Wisconsin Cheese Mart
I first tried some at a local cider mill last month and knew it was love at first bite. Once I got home, I called local stores in the area that carried a nice selection of cheeses. I can't keep enough on hand, it's that good...Just get yourself some crackers and you're set! I also grated some over pasta with olive oil, and grated some over tomato's then put it under the broiler. It has a nice dry consistency and the merlot is not overpowering. I highly recommend this award winning cheese!I randomly pick up cheese from the grocery store and this was what I picked up last week. It was gone in two days between myself and my boyfriend. I, guiltlessly, ate 2/3's of it! It is a unique taste and so creamy with a hint of Merlot. I've been telling any of my friends who like either wine or cheese! I went back last night to pick up another wedge. It, by a long shot, replaced Brie as my favorite cheese.

Delicious, amazing. I am not a cheese expert, so I can't use fancy words to describe the flavors. If you love sharp cheddar, this is the ultimate in sharp, full-flavored cheese.Read Best Reviews of Bellavitano Merlot Wisconsin cheese by Wisconsin Cheese Mart Here
... not the orgasm others describe. Why? The best cheeses I've experienced have a certain "delight" about them that is unique, that distinguishes them from all others. A certain surprise factor. This cheese is very good and may well be the best of it's kind. But it is not distinctive.Want Bellavitano Merlot Wisconsin cheese by Wisconsin Cheese Mart Discount?
I have previously tried some of their cheeses and thought they were very good. This cheese, however, is extremely salty tasting.Bremner Wafers, Original Plain, 4-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)

I love Bremner Wafers, but the crackers in these boxes are stale and rancid tasting. Unfortunately I didn't open the first box until it was too late to return them. I had checked the sell by date when they arrived last month, and they are supposed to be OK until September of this year, BUT they aren't. Very, very disappointing.Read Best Reviews of Bremner Wafers, Original Plain, 4-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) Here

Funny you should ask!...We've been purchasing Bremners from Amazon.comfor several years, but the last two shipments that arrived contained an unusually
large percentage of broken crackers. My wife is trying to convince me that if this
is going to be the case from now on we are going to resort to purchasing them in
the local store.

Nuby 2 Handle Flip n' Sip Straw Cup, 8 Ounce, 12 Months +
my one concern, when your child is teething. teething children gnaw on everything, and the handles & lid are NOT BPA free. my child started to chew on the handles and actually bit one of the rubber nubs off [i luckily got it before he swallowed it]. i have since put the handle cups away for after the "everything goes in my mouth" phase.
as for the drinking aspect of the cup, it isn't difficult to use. i started using these around 9 months and he had no problem. the straw uses compression to allow the liquid to come out, it also prevents it from spilling when not being used.
when reassembling, make sure you put the clear straw into the lid first, pull it until you hear a slight pop, and make sure it is over the hole. then push the white hard straw into the clear straw. it won't leak if you do it correctly.
overall, these cups are great if you are tired of helping your child lift up the sippy cup. the cleaning of them is just part of enjoying a product that let's your child drink independently. and cleaning them doesn't really take any more time than other cups i've tried.I was really attracted by the design of this cup. I was looking for something my son wouldn't have to tip up to drink from since he is just starting out, and can't get his bottle up in the air. It's a nice size, and the handles are perfect, he took to it right away. The problem is that he wasn't really able to drink out of it. He got a little bit, but became really frustrated. After washing it, I tried it out myself, and it really isn't easy to use!! It relies on using your lips to squeeze the straw and then sucking to get the water out. No wonder he got frustrated! I am going to keep it around, and keep trying here and there to see if he gets it, but I wish it was a little easier for him to use.

This product gets 5 stars because baby does not have to have to suction power of a Hoover to drink from it. It is totally leak proof. Shake it upside down, do whatever you want it will not leak. I offered this cup to my daughter the day she turned 7 months old and she figured out how to use the straw almost instantly! Very impressed. The one thing I don't like is that you cannot choose what color cup you want to order. We got lucky and ended up with a pink one, but I can only imagine having a boy and opening up the box to find a neon pink and green cup, yikes!Read Best Reviews of Nuby 2 Handle Flip n' Sip Straw Cup, 8 Ounce, 12 Months + Here
These are great cups that lasted us a long time. If you have a kiddo that chews on straws though watch out because the plastic does breakdown easy and can be a hazard. We bought several of these cups and then always had one available. I used them for about 21/2 years until we moved on to larger water bottles.Want Nuby 2 Handle Flip n' Sip Straw Cup, 8 Ounce, 12 Months + Discount?

However, I was disappointed in the packaging. They used to come in a charming tin. Now the container is thin plastic. I should have guessed. But that destroyed some of the elegance of the presentation.I'm annoyed that through negligence or incompetence there is a picture online of the product for sale (a box of cookies and a jar of something that looks like lemon curd or preserves), which does not match the item that arrived. The cookies were to be a gift for a French friend from Aix. Not knowing if she'd like the "lemon curd", I bought 2 of the item, thinking I'd try the "preserves" to make sure they were tasty or suitable for a gift; if not, I'd use it.
Imagine my disappointment when only 2 boxes of cookies showed up the cookies may be good and my French friend was touched I went to so much trouble, but I'm annoyed that through negligence or incompetence there is a picture online of the product for sale, which does not match the item that arrived.
Lame. I won't bother shopping here again.

So, unwilling to throw $17.00 away, we read everything we could find on the web on Oyster Mushrooms. Then we cut 1/4 off the block and seeded a couple pounds of fresh, damp coffee grounds with the "seed".
We soaked the remainder for 48 hours This time we re-sealed the block in our vacuum sealer, cut an opening and covered the block with a clear plastic bag --placing it in exactly the same place in our kitchen. Mushrooms happened again! And again, even with the plastic bag serving as an incubator, they dried up.
Meanwhile, the mycellium in the fresh coffee grounds have taken off!
So, unwilling to give up, we resoaked the "Brick" and put in under a plastic cube. Mushrooms are forming again -this time we think they will make it!
After much thought, it seems clear that some "bricks" of used coffee grounds are too compressed and dry to take on adequate moisture. We love the concept of re-use and think the developers of this product are on to something. The bricks are innoculated with ample spores, however the substrate at least in some cases is too compressed to have mushrooms survive -even in a humid environment. If you try this kit, soak it for a long time and put it in a plastic cube or bell jar from the outset. Good luck!I purchased this as a gift for my wife for Christmas, we followed the instructions EXACTLY and after 10 days, we just got a lot of white mold no mushrooms.
We contacted customer service (twice) since they state on the site that they guarantee their product. After 2 days, no response.
UPDATE: 1/15/12
Last Tuesday January 11, the company finally contacted me and said they were committed to customer service, would replace it if it was dead and could I please send pictures. So I sent pictures, and they told me it was still viable but just a "late bloomer" and to send pictures again on Tuesday, 1/17. If the kit still didn't show any mushrooms, then they'd send me a new kit.
Wouldn't you know it, yesterday morning the kit started showing significant signs of mushrooms after about 14 days, and today they're much bigger (and more of them).
So, at this point, I would say it's a ok kit, but I just think they need to revise their marketing materials and change the "mushrooms in as little as 10 days" part. I was VERY close to throwing it away twice.
Bottom line, be patient. If you get this kit and you don't have any luck, email the company with pictures of your kit(feedback@backtotheroots.com). They probably won't get back to you the next day, but hopefully they will within a few days.

(#1 REVIEWER)These mushroom are fun to watch and tasty to eat! I just cut the package, sprayed twice a day with a provided mister, and in about 10 days got the mushrooms! I got 4 crops out of one package, with each successive crop being a little smaller than the previous one. Note that the mushrooms don't like drafts, so keep them away from fans and air conditioners.Oyster mushrooms are mild in flavor, have a slightly nutty taste. The oyster mushroom absorbs other flavors well and change their flavor to go well with whatever you are cooking. You can use the whole mushroom the cap and the stem. They are easy to use in many different ways. They taste great just sauteed in butter. I saute and then add them to pasta. I also add them to stews or as ingredient for any sauce I make for cooking chicken. I also found they go great with any Indian sauce, like Pataks: Pataks Vindaloo Curry Paste 10 Oz
In this order you will receive 1 package of mushrooms (even though three packages are shown in a photo). However the product description does say that the total weight of the package is 2.6 pounds, and the title says that each kit is 3-pounds. So the info is there, but could have been more clear.

Be careful on this one. I followed all the instructions: soaking it 24 hours, misting twice a day, keeping it out of direct sunlight... and all I grew was a lot of white mold. And guess what, there's no guarantee or return policy at all, so a moldy brick of coffee grounds which promises, but does not deliver mushrooms, goes for $20 on Amazon and the buyer is SOL. Very disappointing buy.I received this as a Christmas gift and was delighted. I followed directions EXACTLY presoaking, misting, temperature range correct, lighting correct. No mushrooms ever appeared from the "front" of the box several stems tried to grow from the covered sides, withered and died. I harvested one mushroom from "side one." As directed, I repeated the presoak, misting, etc on the second side of the box, with the same results.... nothing from the "back", but several stems weakly tried to grow from the sides, withered and died. One mushoom harvested from that side as well not a cluster a single mushroom. I'm so appreciative for the thoughtfulness of the gift givers, but extremely disappointed that the kit was a complete failure. Don't waste your money.18oz can Salted Virginia Peanuts

This is about the best and easiest thing you can buy to get perfect tasting sushi rice when you make homemade sushi! It is so amazing (i actually didnt think it would be, but haha jokes on me:P) and I was so (happily) shocked when I tasted the rice after mixing it in, and finding it tasted just as good as real sushi, Maybe better, since I made the rice myself! I wish the price could be lower, but the quality can't be beat for this real made-in-Japan mix!But now it is gone, and there is no Asian market near me, so I use this recipe: 1 TBPS Apple-cider vinegar (should be rice-vin, but odnt have any, and it works in a pinch!), 1 TBSP Sugar, and 1 Tsp Salt. Stir these over heat until dissolved, then mix into cooked warm rice. Tastes almost good!

Distiller's Yeast (DADY) (1 lb. bulk pack)
This yeast strain also does not have any problem functioning in high gravity sugar solutions. So, I have found it unnecessary to do multi-stage fermenting. This is a moderate sulphur producing yeast. Nothing that should be a problem given some conditioning.
The flavor profile is actually fairly neutral, with just a little fruitiness. There is noticeable phenol alcohol production at temps above 80F. This is a bit of a "take no prisoners" kind of yeast. As in, it tends to ferment anything even remotely fermentable. In that way it's a bit like a champagne yeast.
Overall, I'm very pleased indeed. This is a great yeast for un-sticking your fermentation, or for making a fast batch of cider. Unless you like your cider very dry, you will probably want to cold-crash your cider during peak fermentation. If you wait until primary fermentation is done, your likely to end up with rocket fuel instead of cider.Proofed good, no delay or after taste for wine. Honey wine, apple cider, pumpkin cider, changing grape juice to wine.

We make a lot of extract beer. Instead of the minuscule amounts of yeast usually in packets, having a jar of good yeast is great. It overwhelms any possible infection in beer by enabling the use of tablespoons, not a teaspoon or less of yeast at the start of fermentation. We have not yet had a bad batch of beer using this.Want Distiller's Yeast (DADY) (1 lb. bulk pack) Discount?
While I did not buy this product on Amazon, I will the next time I need it. Which should be soon. This is a highly aggressive yeast and will convert anything. Keep away from small children. LOL.This stuff is the best. I use a cold wash recipe where I do not boil the grains and though it does increase the time, it makes a clean product. After proofing the yeast and pitching I wait one hour and stir. Next morning I stir. Next morning I stir. I wait and check ABV and when I think I am at that point, this takes about another 5 to 7 days depending upon temp, I stir one more time and let sit til next day. Constant 20 to 24 percent each time. First runs come out at 130 to 140 Proof each time and very clean. Tails come out ar 80 proof constant. Produces a very clean and favorable taste. Also, I take a gallon of the backset (liquid left over after distillation) from previous batch and and add to next mash run. This gives me the proper acidity and a bunch of nutrients to make yeast even happier. Also called a sour mash. I remove 1/3 of the grain each time from my fermenter and add sufficient grains to take up the slack. I have tried other yeasts, but this is so far my very favorite. I think if you give it a try, it will be yours too. P.S. I drop a 1/4 tsp. into my Irish stout beer recipe with a little extra corn sugar and get export stout ABV. Do this halfway through fermenting. Nice............
