Kool-Aide Pickles Exist

Posted on

So I admit it, I haven’t traveled to the south and until today I never knew that Kool-Aide Pickles were a thing. Sometimes they are reffered to as  Koolickles and even sold at Walmart under the name of Tropickles. I can’t find too much about it other than it’s Delta region thing and may have been around since the 40’s or 50’s.

 

Here is a recipe and review for Koolickles. The look on her face when she first tries one is classic. She looks like she is going to throw up but insists they are pretty good.

Spicey Burger and Caesar

Posted on

Started the weekend off with a little spice. Hit one of our local gourmet burger places. There was lots to choose from like and Elvis Burger with peanut butter or Breakfast Burger with egg and bacon. Ended up with a Hottie Burger. Jalapeno and Hot Peppers with Pepper Jack Cheese and special hot sauce. Washed it down with a Spicy Vodka Caesar and draught beer.

Wondering about the Vodka Caesar? It’s a Canadian thing.

Rim a highball glass with the juice from the lime wedge and a combination of celery salt.

Add the vodka and clamato juice. Season with pepper, Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces to taste. Stir well.

Garnish with a celery stick.

The Amount of Sugar in Your Drinks

Posted on

Have you ever wondered how much sugar is in your drinks? Maybe you have never thought about it. Maybe you have heard but saying a cup really doesn’t mean much until you see it in a photograph. We were surprised when we came across these random photos that depict just how much sugar is contained in soda, sports drinks and juices. Bit of an eye opener to just how much sugar you are taking in after consuming just one of these drinks.

Remember this when looking at these photos:
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day are (7): Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons). Women: 100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons).
