Welch's Grape Juice Cocktail, 10-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 24)

Welch's Grape Juice Cocktail, 10-Ounce BottlesI've been a happy buyer of this product for about a year now, and I love it. I'm a student living in a dorm, so it's nice to have a little 10-ounce bottle on hand every once in a while.

Just as a precaution to people, the default price that shows up, sold by BABYWUVINC, is a gigantic rip off. The original price of this product was around $20, so it rounded out to about a dollar per juice bottle, plus shipping. A little pricey, but I was happy with it. But apparently as of this month (July 2012), the default page that pops up shows the price at $42. Unreasonable much? There's no way I'm paying $42 for a 24-pack of 10-ounce juice bottles, delicious Welch's grape juice aside.

Make sure you hit the New From section and Amazon sells it for the original price (With Prime if you have Prime). I almost missed that option and was about to go shopping the old-fashioned way, so just a heads up.

Otherwise, as far as the actual product goes, it's perfect. 24 sounds like a lot, but they go fast. The size is great for kids, adults, college students wanting to stock their mini-fridges, and it goes great next to a meal as a single serving. Plus it's Welch's. What grape juice is better than Welch's?

This stuff has been around for practically forever, and still has no equal! Welches is the perfect mixture of sweet and tart. It has a signature grape flavor that you'll find nowhere else; it is a truly fantastic and refreshing juice. At slightly over a buck a bottle, some might see this item as pricey, but then, look what 'Fourbucks' is chargin' these days, for even their basic 'cuppa-mud'. As for its nutritional bang-fer-the-buck, Welches certainly prevails.

Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese (8oz or 1lb)

Point Reyes Original Blue CheeseMy husband I recently ate at an outside cafe in Geneva, IL. It was late afternoon so we just wanted something light to eat with a glass of wine. We ordered a cheese plate that include a choice of three cheese. One of the choices on the menu was a blue cheese listed as "Pointed Reyes Original Farmstead Blue". It was exceptionally good completly outshining the sharp cheedar and the mild Wisconsin Gouda. So much so that I asked to take a copy of the menu home so I could order the cheese on the internet. Not as easy as I thought, but I did find it on Amazon and ordered it, after I corrected the spelling to "Point" Reyes rather than "Pointed" Reyes Blue Cheese.

It was delievered in a couple of days intact and as delicious as I remembered. This really is a standout blue cheese especially if you like a tangy sharp blue cheese. It is creamy but not overpowering and does not have the musky taste that some blue cheeses do. The only downside was the cost of shipping. The cheese was $18.00 for a pound but the shipping was unexpectely high at $26.00. The combined cost makes for a very expensive cheese. I'm sure I will enjoying eating this blue cheese and make certain that I perserve every valuble bite of it until it is gone.

Eden Foods Mirin, Rice Cooking Wine, 10.50-Ounce

Eden Foods Mirin, Rice Cooking Wine, 10.50-OunceI do a lot of wok cooking and I use this mirin as one of several ingredients when I marinade flank steak. I've tried other types of wine, but find I prefer this one. The difference in flavor is noticeable. I only use about a splash or two at a time on (at most) a pound of meat. And I use the marinade in the cooking as well. At that rate, the bottle is good for a fair amount of meals.

This is a great Mirin, but I wish it was a little cheaper. Taste is very good and makes good sauces.

Okay, decent drinking wines are $20 for larger bottles! What gives? And don't tell me it's because it's organic and because it's for Japanese cooking. This is the USA where people cook all kinds of ethnic food and they use lots of mirin, when they can find it. Btw you can find this exact bottle of Eden Mirin for 1/2 this price and free shipping, elsewhere.
