if i were famous, i'd be willing to sell fruit tortes from our bakery. those are really good. mm. and i'd be willing to sell certain bands. and pop rocks.

So I was at Acme doing my grocery shopping one night, when I stumbled across this new frozen pizza called Home Run Pizza. Apparently, it is the frozen product of a Chicago chain. I've never heard of them, but I figured I'd try the pizza.

Man, it is incredibly good! The crust is just right...a bit on the thick side. Toppings are generous. It tastes just like a Chicago-style pizza. I was incredibly impressed. Another product I would be happy to endorse.

elSicomoro · 07-18-2002, 09:08 PM

Tropicana Orange-Banana juice: It was on sale at Genuardi's this week, so I picked up a carton. Excellent! I'll definitely have to grab some more of this.

Griff · 07-19-2002, 06:11 AM

I'm gonna sell my name to Cruz de Malta brand Yerba Mate. 1Kg bag goes for like $3.75. It replaces your hot morning caffeine liquid with meteine (sp?) from the same class of chemicals except non addictive and it supposedly relaxes your muscles rather than tensing them like caffeine. Lots of vitamins etc, very relaxing, and makes your time on the crapper more ah productive...

elSicomoro · 07-24-2002, 09:13 PM

Griff...that sounds like liquid pot. Where do you get that stuff?

Today's endorsement is for Minute Maid Orange-Tangerine blend: Just a hint of tangerine to give it that different taste...great stuff. I generally prefer Tropicana, but you gotta go with what's cheapest sometimes.

However, I will NOT endorse Sominex sleeping pills or the like. More on that in a new thread tomorrow...

Griff · 07-25-2002, 06:21 AM

Shhhhh. Not so loud, there are regulators about.

I get mine at Wegmans Supermarket.

Undertoad · 07-25-2002, 05:59 PM

I just realized, if I were famous, I'd push Red Hat Linux at everyone. Not that there aren't other distributions, just that they're the commercially-oriented one that would know how to take advantage.

I'd do it for free and use my new-found pull to get product placement in movies and such.

elSicomoro · 07-30-2002, 06:54 PM

Today's promo is for Texas Pete Hot Sauce. It happened to be on sale at Acme last week and I picked up a bottle. Hot as hell...great on Mexican food and fish (thus far). Not as good as Tabasco, but still good.

Urbane Guerrilla · 08-16-2002, 04:28 AM

No, for hot sauce of the interesting but thermonuclear persuasion, it's got to be Endorphin Rush. Specialist hot sauce joints have it. You know it's dangerous when you unscrew the cap and it smells like sawn wood -- all the real ass-in-the-washtub/burns goin' in, burns comin' out high-Scoville-numbers hot sauces have that sawdust smell to them.

Endorphin Rush and some of the others like Dave's Death Sauce -- Dave has an After Death Sauce too -- come with directions printed on the label that tell you to use their stuff a couple drops at a time, on something like fried potatoes, for example. I'd heed the directions if I were you. It does make for an impressive party in your mouth once the steam stops venting from your ears and nostrils and you've got your eyeballs caged again.

See if you can find any hot sauce like Bufalo, made with chipotle peppers -- smoked jalapeño.

Griff · 08-16-2002, 06:15 AM

Its a mole' style hot sauce made with chipotle and habenero peppers. It has a rich (molasses cocoa) flavor thats plenty hot which is perfect for your morning eggs. It also has a cute label with three peppers sharing a joint.

I got mine at a pepper sauce place in Syracuse with an unbelievable selection. I'll remember the name and put a link here later. You can also get it direct from Chris Selkirk by calling (518) 424-6220.

elSicomoro · 08-18-2002, 06:19 PM

Today, el Sicómoro sponsors:

--San Pellegrino Mineral Water: Maybe it's the carbonation factor, but it tastes so good!

--Dr. Pepper: IMO, it is the greatest beverage ever created. It's like liquid acid.

elSicomoro · 11-07-2002, 08:08 AM

I mentioned this in the initial post, but I have to give a shoutout to Dunkin Donuts coffee. Picked up a cup on my way to work this morning...fantastic. Gave me a nice little boost coming into work this morning.

elSicomoro · 11-17-2002, 03:20 AM

Okay, so these aren't exactly good for you, but I have to give props to Uncle Ben's Breakfast Bowls. There are several varieties, but the one I've had is a sausage, egg, and biscuit bowl. You have the above mentioned items, along with gravy and red pepper pieces. Good stuff, but again, not good for you.

elSicomoro · 02-01-2003, 02:23 PM

I've been using this Salt Free All-Purpose Seasoning from McCormick quite a bit over the past couple of weeks. It consists of onion, parsley, basil, oregano, red pepper, garlic, lemon peel, celery, and paprika. Absolutely no calories, sodium, etc. And it really adds some zest to soups. Delicious.
