Cheetos Popcorn

I had no idea the Cheetos product line was quite so extensive.  I mean, wow, they've really made, well, a brand. "CHEETOS® snacks are the much-loved cheesy treats that are fun for everyone! You just can’t eat a CHEETOS® snack without licking the signature “cheetle” off your fingertips. And wherever the CHEETOS® brand and CHESTER CHEETAH® go, cheesy smiles are sure to follow."I've reviewed Crunchy Cheetos chips before, certainly not my thing, but, I can't...

Whittaker's Chocolate

I'm always eager to try new types of chocolate bars.  I'm not a major chocolate-o-holic, and usually don't opt for chocolate desserts, but a little piece of quality chocolate in the morning alongside my coffee always hits the spot.  Or in the afternoon, for a little pick-me-up.  So, on a recent flight to Sydney, when I saw a new brand of chocolate onboard my various Air New Zealand flights, I was happy to drive in. The brand was Whittaker's,...

Boloco, Catering and Take-out, Hanover, NH

Update Review, July 2020Boloco isn't somewhere I expected to seek out again (or, ever really - I'm not that into Mexican cuisine, and my first experience, at a catered event, didn't give me a reason to try to visit myself), but, in July of 2020, I found myself nearby one, and needed a light meal.  Ok, and I was drawn in by the $1 mini burrito of the week! Thus, Boloco it was.Limited Menu During COVID.Due to the COVID situation, Boloco has reduced the menu down,...

Singapore Airlines, SQ33, SFO-SIN

Update Review, January 2020 FlightI've reviewed the glory of Singapore Airlines before (SFO-SIN, SIN-SFO), a new discovery for me, as I had never had opportunity to fly to Singapore before.  My first experience was in November 2019, and I was able to quickly follow it up with another flight, same route (SFO-SIN), just two months later ... which was amazing, until, well, COVID broke out, and I had to cancel the rest of my trip, to Thailand, which was...
