Why would I spend five bucks per latte (and take my chances with the barista's skills) when I can make my own cup of foamy happiness in less than a minute, and for so much less? Answer: I wouldn't. At least not any longer. The Medium Roast coffee pods will satisfy you whether you drink it black or take it "regular" (with milk & perhaps sugar). I like to use one Medium pod and one Dark Roast pod for my first cup in the morning...it makes a nice, fragrant cup that packs a jolt. I'd highly recommend buying a few bags of the Medium Roast and the Dark Roast at the same time. If you're like me, you won't want to run out-your mornings just wouldn't be the same without your Senseo. 2004-07-07 US 50199793 R5BEHBPW5E8GP B0000WAHYW 861436013 All One Multi Vitamin & Mineral Powder, Original Formula, 15.9 oz.

Not a protein drink. Not a meal replacement drink. ALL ONE is formulated with a unique, amino acid bonding process that begins with pure vitamins and minerals.\\" ~All One Container<br /><br />If you hate swallowing or chewing vitamins, then this is an alternative. This is a tasteless powder that can be mixed into milk or juice. To mix this powder fully, use a blender like the Braun immersion blender: ASIN: B00006I4YF, you can find this here at Amazon. You can also use a Tupperware shaker or GNC has shakers that work very well to blend this powder.<br /><br />I like blending a level tablespoon of this powder with one scoop of \\"GeniSoy Soy Protein Shake\\" powder (ASIN: B00014DYAI). I find the flavors of the shake make the flavorless vitamin powder very palatable, although you can simply use just the powder and flavor your milk with vanilla and a bit of honey. The powder has a base derived from the sweet milk of New Zealand dairy cows. However, this mixture is \\"lactose and hormone\\" free.<br /><br />High Potency antioxidants: A, C & E + selenium and bioflavanoids<br />Stress B-Complex + a full gram of vitamin C<br />Full spectrum minerals for easy absorption<br />Valuable trace minerals<br />Essential vitamins<br />Includes iron<br />All nutrients in optimal balance<br /><br />One heaping tablespoon ( 15 grams ) contains:<br /><br />35 Calories, 2g Carbohydrates, 7g Protein, 8,000 IU Vitamin A (Vitamin A Palmitate), 7,000IU Vitamin A (Beta Carotene), 1,000mg Vitamin C, 500IU Vitamin D (Ergocalciferol), 400IU Vitamin E (as d-Alphah Tocopherol Succinate), 5mcg Vitamin K (as Phylloquinone), 25mg Thiamin HCL (B-1), 25mg Riboflavin (B-2), 100mg Niacin (Niacinamide), 25mg Pyrodoxine HCL (B-6), 400mcg Folic Acid (as Folate), 25mcg Vitamin B-12 (Cyanocobaliamin), 25mcg Biotin (d-Biotin), 100mg Pantothenic Acid (d-Calcium Panthothenate), 500mg Calcium (as Calcium Caseinate/Calcium Carbonate, Dicalcium Phosphate-AA Chelate), 200mg Phosphorus(as Dicalcium Phosphate from Calcium Caseinate), 18mg Iron (as Ferrous Sulfate-AA Chelate), 180mcg Iodine (as Potassium Iodide), 200mg Magnesium (as Magnesium Carbonate), 15 mg Zinc (as Zinc Oxide), 50mcg Selenium (as Selenium Proteinate), 0.2mg Copper, 4mg Manganese, 50mcg Chromium, 50mcg Molybdenum, and 99mg Potassium.

Take this with Soy protein powder and you will start to notice increased energy levels and other great benefits.<br /><br />The main reason I chose this \\"Original\\" formula was because I was looking for Leucine, isoleucine and valine, which are good for muscle recovery after a workout. This powder contains: 623 mg Leucine, 332mg Isoleucine and 402mg Valine. So, I thought the original formula would be perfect to add to an after-workout shake.<br /><br />\\"Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) have been shown to enhance recovery after exercise.

Well, sorry to disappoint you, but that story is not true. The first Baby Ruth bars were made by the Curtiss Candy Company, which was founded in Chicago in 1916 by Otto Schnering, who used his mother's maiden name since it was much more American-sounding and would not cause the problems that a German surname would during World War I. The first confection made by Curtiss was the Kandy Kate, which featured a pastry center topped with nuts and coated with chocolate. Then in 1921 revised the product so that was now a log-shaped bar made of caramel and peanuts, covered in chocolate. Priced at only five cents, half the cost of competing candy bars, Schnering named it the Baby Ruth bar, which soon became one of the hottest selling candies on the market.<br /><br />Now, the explanation that the candy bar was named for \\"Baby\\" Ruth Cleveland, the former President's first-born daughter, has been the official explanation proffered by the Curtiss Candy Company since the 1920's while the Babe Ruth legend has been the obvious explanation, especially since Ruth had joine the Yankees in 1920 and in 1921, the year the Baby Ruth debuted, he hit a then-record 59 home runs. However, the idea that the Baby Ruth bar was named after Ruth Cleveland is rather morbid given she died of diptheria at the age of 12 in 1904, seventeen years before the candy bar was named.<br /><br />The more reasonable explanation seems that the Curtiss Candy Company did indeed find a way to link their product to the Yankee slugger who was becoming the most famous person in the country. Ironically, Curtiss had to fight off a challenge from a competitor who was attempting to market the Babe Ruth Home Run Bar, endorsed by the Babe himself. The Curtiss claim that the bar was named for Ruth Cleveland was enough to fight off the challenge, since the names were too close to one another to allow the new product to be marketed that way. The fact that Curtiss maintained for years that the Baby Ruth bar came out before years before Babe Ruth became famous is enough to pop the balloon since in 1920 Ruth had broken his single season home run record of 29 by hitting 54 round trippers.<br /><br />Of course all that matters now is that this is still a classic American candy bar. Beneath the milk chocolate coating of Nestles popular 2.1 ounce candy bar is a chewy, peanut-covered center, wrapped in a nougat that is really more of a white or blonde fudge. In terms of caloric ration the Baby Ruth is 46% Carbs, 48% Fats, and 6% Protein. The candy bar is low in Sodium and very low in Cholesterol, which is good, but high in Saturated Fat, which is supposedly bad (where do people think the taste comes from?). A large portion of the calories come from the sugars, which is how nature intended it. If you want a candy bar with actual peanuts in it, the Baby Ruth is still a good choice.<br /><br />Ironically, I did find a Champion Cocker Spaniel named Baby Ruth, whelped in 1892, who was in all probability actually named for President Cleveland's daughter, Ruth, who had been the first child to be born in the White House the previous year. She was bred by Joseph Smith of Canada and sold to Andrew Laidlaw and became the foundation on which Mepal built one of the strongest kennels in the United States.

"Dulce de leche" is a typical Argentinian product, and one of my favorite temptations. In case you are not familiar with it, I must say that you are really losing something great...<br />Dulce de leche is a dessert that can be eaten alone or as a topping (for example, on waffles, bread or ice cream). It is also used a lot in cakes and other pastries, and its savor is sweet. It is made by blending hot milk, sugar, and vanilla, and as a result has some nutritional value. However, the most important thing is that it is mouthwateringly delicious :)<br />Even if this product is extraordinarily good, it is important to choose the right label, because a good one can be guarantee of excellence. In my opinion, "La Salamandra" is one of the few labels that allow you to be certain that what you are going to eat is not only tasty, but also made of superior quality raw ingredients. "La Salamandra" is very well-known in Argentina, but has also won some prizes in USA. For example, this product won the 2000 Fancy Food Show's Gold Trophy for spreads/sweet toppings.<br />All in all, I advise you to indulge yourself and give "La Salamandra"'s dulce de leche a try.

When it arrived, my father-in-law opened this Ghirardelli tower in front of other relatives, there are NO chocolate inside. How dissapointed! I already told everybody that this is called Ghirardelli tower and contains lots of chocolate from Ghirardelli. I am so embarrased and dissapointed and now I am very angry. I want my money back and will never order from them again. I contacted their customer service and they are worst kind of people you want to deal with! They are just terrible. They do not refund unless you have to send the package back to them. Don't waste your money on this and don't order anything from this company. I want to give them MINUS 5 stars. 2004-06-28 US 30779685 R1ZCSHMMHOHUUD B0000TQNIO 404383887 Stramondo Organic Pistachio Cream Grocery 5 8 9 N N Whoever invented this was a genius This is phenomenally delicious!

The can is pressurized with nitrogen, an innovation that Illy introduced in 1933, which will keep the beans fresh.<br />Aroma of the beans is deep and rich, and the oil content is a nice balance - not too much nor too little. A coarse grind will produce a rich cup of espresso that will rival any you'd be served in Firenze or Roma.<br />We use a 1-cup stovetop espresso maker (see ASIN B00015HNEA), which produces perfect espressos every time.<br />If love espresso, but for some reason have never tried Illy brand, you are in for a treat. This brand and blend also is available ground. 2004-06-28 US 52538930 R2OZYK9E4RHWUL B0000CDAAG 848252288 Pemaquid Point Lobster Pot Pies, Four Pies Grocery 2 13 15 N N Not worth the price The lobster was rubbery, the crust had little flavor.

My husband is finicky about olive oil and swears by this brand because it is always fresh, has the 'right' flavor for his Italian palate, and has the perfect balance of fruity and peppery qualities.<br />To clarify the meanings of fruity and peppery, these are two of a large number of qualities associated with olive oils. In fact, there are 21 qualities, ranging from apple to sweet.<br />The fruity quality of this oil is subtle and indicates that it is made from mature olives that have been properly handled. This particular brand holds this quality for about a week after you've opened the bottle, after which it slowly loses it.<br />Peppery describes a 'bite' in the back of your throat from a high-quality oil. This particular brand has a slight peppery quality that is pleasant and compliments the fruity quality.<br />The final quality upon which I judge olive oil is called "harmonious", which is a way of describing the blend. Since there is a slight hint of green leaf as well, this and the fruity and peppery qualities are harmonious to my palate.<br />Colavita brand comes from the Molise region of Italy, which is nestled between Puglia and Campania in central Southern Italy. The flavors from this region lack the heavy grassiness that characterize Tuscan olive oils, yet, are more fruity than Greek oils.<br />For value and everyday cooking - no matter how special the dish - this is one of the better oils on the market, and is certainly as good as many of the gourmet ones we have tried. 2004-06-26 US 47980120 R3A0TG7US9109T B00016JH8Y 341776098 Great Gourmet - Live Lobster Two 1.50-1.34 lbs.

Despite the, previous, scathing review from someone who does not even like black licorice...(What kind of dummy eats black licorice and then complains about it tasting like black licorice???)...I have to say that these are very good, fresh and not too sweet little dogs...They are truly the taste of American licorice as opposed to the European varieties that differ in old fashion licorice taste. The texture is chewy, but not too soft or sticky. They are a tad less sweet than "See's Licorice Medallions", but just as flavorful. The only reason I don't give them a five star rating is because I believe that it belongs to the "King" of all licorices, the discontinued, Heidi/Hershey dome shaped drops, with the imbossed diamond on the top. They were what real, old fashion, American licorice was all about and what made several generations of Dentists rich with their, "near Ju-Ju-Be" chewy-ness and deep licorice flavor... I'd sure appreciate it if someone were to start making them again! In the meantime, these little black dogs will impress the licorice lover, but not the dummies who eat what they don't like! 2004-06-26 US 42489502 R2NS1YXNYOI1J6 B0001IZWIG 583958817 M&M's Plain [52OZ Bag] Grocery 5 4 7 N N Oh boo-hoo, you don't like them.

And I sure wouldn't share, even with my best friend, if I had possession of the very last bar on Earth.<br />The original FLAKE by the same manufacturer is comprised of long, pale, crumbly flakes of an intense chocolate pressed into a stick, the long axis of the flakes being parallel to the long axis of the bar. This is a fragile treat liable to fragmentation within the wrapper if handled roughly, e.g. tossed haphazardly into the backpack or briefcase at the beginning of the day. DIPPED FLAKE solves this problem by being protectively enrobed from end to end in thick milk chocolate.<br />Biting through the firm outer coating, one's tongue encounters the interior layers that melt in the mouth in a rush of endorphins. This isn't a treat dandied-up with raisins, nuts, crisped rice, or other sissy stuff, but a robust confectionery designed for the no-nonsense chocoholic. It's almost better than Getting Lucky.<br />Let's be clear about the nutritional implications, shall we? This little magic wand of sugar, fat, and calories is probably not what the Healthy-Eating Gestapo had in mind as accompanying the daily intake of fruits, veg, tofu, and vitamin supplements. Especially if you find yourself courting ecstasy by wolfing down a half-dozen at a time. But, not being totally unreasonable, I wash down mine with non-fat moo. One can't be too careful.<br />DIPPED FLAKE, in my opinion, puts to shame all those Swiss, Belgian, "organic", and designer chocolates best left to the poncy shoppers crowding Rodeo Drive or Harrods. DIPPED FLAKE may be difficult to find, and you might have to resort to Web order, but it's worth every byte of your on-line credit card transaction. 2004-06-23 US 17536534 R37X4JQXBAVMTZ B0001VS9WE 207508351 Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Mix Grocery 5 5 5 N N It's fabulous I grew up in the Northeast, and have used Spatini for over 30 years...I've even had family buy all the Spatini in their local grocery stores and ship it to me - it's that good.

I liked it so much that upon my return to<br />Seattle I immediately checked for the machine's availability in the<br />United States and was thrilled to find it at Amazon.com. Last week I<br />bought the Senseo machine along with four boxes of medium roast<br />decaffeinated pods. I also received one package of regular medium roast<br />and one package of mild roast with the Senseo machine.<br /> To my horror all of the coffee I received is a very poor<br />substitute of the Douwe Egberts coffee I enjoyed so much in Holland.<br />The coffee that was delivered to me is weak and tasteless. In fact, to<br />get halfway decent coffee I have to use two pods for one four-ounce cup.<br />This is unacceptable not only from the point of view of expense, it also<br />limits the use of the machine to one four-ounce serving at the time.<br /> I request that you provide Senseo coffee machine users here with<br />the same quality coffee you sell in Holland (at $16.99 for a four-pack<br />of pods it is more than twice as expensive here, which I'm willing to<br />pay only if the coffee is of the same superior quality). Starbucks is a<br />huge success in this country because it sells real coffee, not some<br />watered-down version of the real thing.<br /> Until I receive quality coffee to substitute for the poor coffee<br />I now have, I will tell my friends, neighbors, colleagues and anybody<br />else who might be interested not to invest in the Senseo machine. In<br />the meantime I would be happy to return the coffee to you because I have<br />no use for it. Please let me know when and how you expect to remedy<br />this situation. If I do not hear from you within a week or so I will<br />return the Senseo machine and the remaining unused portion of the coffee<br />to Amazon.com for a full refund.<br /> I look forward to hearing from you. 2004-06-14 US 50527768 R19FX1PDMV67SS B0001FUGDK 600299435 Better Made Red Hot!

They made it so you can really enjoy the taste before the heat kicks in and makes your taste buds inoperable. <br />Oh, this sauce is thin. So if you are used to Daves or 100% Pain, don't just pour thinking it will come out like think catchup.

If you get this sauce for the first time, I would take a edge of a toothpick and dip it in the sauce, and get the smallest amount on your tounge. It will burn for a good 10 minutes. This will let you know exactly how hot this sauce is. While I would bet most people use this sauce as an additive in other foods like salsa or chili, I like to put it on burittos (the football sized ones from mexican resturants), about one drop every third bite. But if you eat it that way, be prepared to pay the price. Your mouth will burn with no relief in sight. Your sinuses will clear and your nose will run uncontrollably. Your eyes may turn red, and you might have a hard time breathing. And don't forget about that second burn, the next time you use the toilet (that is a serious warning. I was at a mexican resturant with a friend who ate dave's on his burrito. Dave's kicked in and he had to go. Everyone in the resturant could hear him howling in pain while he was in the bathroom). I only know of one other person who can eat the sauce as a sauce. Everyone else who has tried it has begged for an ambulance or help. It is that hot. And I love it.<br />One other note. If you use it as an additive, a little will crank up the heat level of most foods. If you don't think the hot salsa from the grocery store is hot, a few drops of this will make that salsa much hotter. But do yourself a favor, and make your own salsa. It is easy. I chop up two jalepenjo peppers, a onions, a can of diced tomatoes, maybe subsitute a chipolte if i want more sweetness, the juice of a lime, and a dash of dave's. Salt it and let it sit in the fridge for an hour. After an hour, drain the liquid into the blender, and add in one more can of canned tomatoes. Blend it, and then add it back to the salsa mixing it up. For something different, chop up a bit of mint for the salsa. It will give an odd taste. Your mouth will burn as you breath out, and cool as you breath in. 2004-06-08 US 40848807 R2QMYIT94QLHRV B0000CD02Z 451494881 Corn Grits (Polenta), 24 oz.

After a friend of mine let me try his "Dave's Insanity Sauce", and I loved the heat kick. Since Dave's can only be purchased on-line, I had a limited choice from my grocery store. I was suprised to see Ass Kickin' Cajun Hot Sauce on the shelf, and from looking at the name I guessed it would be hot. Well, after trying it on a burrito, I can say it is not that hot. And the bottle only lets you put a drop on at a time. I spent more time trying to get hot sauce out than eating. And since it was not as hot as I wanted, I kept putting more and more on tyring to get some heat which lead to another problem- the taste of vinigar was too strong. Too bad, I was looking forward for something really hot. I guess I will have to wait for my internet order to come it. For those of you who eat tobasco, this is better than tobasco and has a little more heat.

Due to some strange combination of genetics and ethnicity, I've been shaving since junior high, i.e., about 34 years now, and it goes without saying that it's become a chore. Occasionally, depending on my schedule, my Mediterranean swarth (I'm half Italian) requires a twice-daily pruning, which holds about the same appeal for me as listening to those "American Idol" kids' endearingly bad grabs for the brass ring. While Gillette's shaving gel can't do anything about reversing my hirsuteness, it does make shaving a whole lot easier to take (I'll stop short of using the term "enjoyable"). A very small dollop of this stuff produces much more foam than needed and it goes on easy, conditions and lubricates the skin, and smells great. I've tried about every shaving product out there, both foam and gel, and this one is as dependable as the tides. Highly and unqualifyingly recommended. 2004-05-27 US 47444156 R2629H1RG9W8SG B0001LQK48 903099804 3 Pepper Blast Sweet Dip Grocery 5 1 1 N N Fantastic This goes well in meatloaf, on top of pizza or anything you cook.

Reese Candy Company first began manufacturing a product made with specially processed peanut butter and Hershey's milk chocolate. Back then the product was simply known as peanut butter cups, but today the popular candy is known as Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Harry Burnett Reese was actually a former dairy employee of Milton S. Hershey, the founder of the Hershey Foods Corporation who was inspired by the example and went off to make his own fortune in the candy industry. Reese made a lot of other products, such as Johnny Bars (caramel-like molasses) and Lizzie Bars (coconut candy), but in the end his fortune was made by this single product, which offered a simple combination of peanut butter and chocolate.<br />In the 1920s, from a factory located down the street from that of Hershey, Reese began selling his peanut butter cups in 5 lb. boxes to be used in candy assortments. In the 1930s he added the cups, which were originally sold for a penny each. During World War II Reese discontinued all his other products and just made the peanut butter cups, which were distributed through wholesale jobbers, vending machine operators and syndicated stores. After World War II the peanut butter cups, now in their familiar orange, yellow and brown wrapping, continued to gain national popularity. In 1963 the H.B. Reese Candy Company, Inc., was sold for $23.5 million to the Hershey Chocolate Company, and in 1976 the first variation in the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup was made with the introduction of Reese's Crunchy Peanut Butter Cup.<br />In 1992 Reese's started selling its own peanut butter in a jar, in 1994 it offered Reese's bits for baking, and in 1998 the company launched ReeseSticks to go along with the Fastbreak, Nutrageous, and Bites, not to mention peanut butter Christmas trees, pumpkins, eggs, and all the other seasonal products. Now even have White Chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which pretty much defines heaven on earth for me in terms of candy making. But behind this growing array of candy products there remains the original Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. There is something to be said for the simple combination of peanut butter and chocolate, as immortalized in the \\"you got chocolate in my peanut butter/you got peanut butter in my chocolate\\" ad campaign that inspired many Americans to walk around eating peanut butter out of a jar.<br />Now, you can certainly make your own peanut butter cups. You just need 12 paper muffin cups, a 12-ounce package of milk chocolate chips, a cup of reduced-fat peanut butter, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, a 1/4 of a teaspoon of salt, a pair of scissors, microwave, and refrigerator. But it will take you a couple of hours to make 12 candies. Or you can buy this 36-count box and just enjoy eating them. Fortunately these are 2 cup packages, because my way of eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is to eat them all. Open up a wrapper with four cups, I eat four. Open up a wrapper with two cups, I eat two.

I was fascinated by the thin layer of ash that runs through the center before I even tasted it. She served a tiny wedge of it to me with a few slightly sweet crumbly wheat crackers. This is hands down the most delicious and unusual goat cheese I've ever tasted. The odd thing is that I would never have identified it as goat cheese; it's smooth, a bit sticky in some parts, though more crumbly and chevre-like in other parts. The ash is, somehow, a tasty counterpoint -- in addition to lending a romantic touch that remarkably captures the feel of an early fog-bound morning in Northern California.<br />If I could have a Personal Official Cheese, this would be it. 2004-05-21 US 49203776 R3N4B0JDA5Q2CT B0000DI1RN 697285329 Popcorn, Light Butter, Microwave, (3 Pop & Serve Bags), Organic, 9 oz.

It is extremely heavy on fact, and I find myself better informed on many issues than other periodical readers. The Economist's point of view is neither that of an American liberal nor that of an American conservative, but rather a particularly British liberalism, one more akin to classical liberalism. Both Democrats and Republicans are bound to be challenged when encountering data and perspectives in this publication. This publication is the most globally focused I know, covering the US, UK, Asia, the Middle East, Technology, Business, Finance, and more very thoroughly. American readers will be delighted by the wry British humor scattered about in picture captions and stashed away in articles.

However, I took a chance while they were on sale here at amazon.com few month ago. After brewing my first cup of espresso with the pod, I realized that I will probably run out them very soon! With those pods, you can brew great tasty espresso with professional coffee shop quality. It tasts strong but not bitter, nor sour. The coffee is well-roasted with full-body flavor.<BR>Most important is that it is so convenient!! Before using those pods, one shortcoming about using non-auto espresso machine was that I had to spend few minutes to wash those coffee away and carefully put coffee into the small holder before make another cup of espresso. It's always messy and time consuming! After using those pods, all I have to do for making next cup of espresso is picking up the pod and put a new pod. It's quick and clean. Now I can really enjoy my espresso. 2004-05-18 US 38404618 R19FWACHL7WDS1 B0001M11YG 839799326 SnackMasters Natural Jerky Original Ahi Tuna -- 2 oz Grocery 4 2 4 N N GREAT snack esp for Low carb dieters This tuna jerky is excellent.

(Granted, they pack them full of vegan sugar!) There are a lot of good vegan cookies out there, but in my opinion, Uncle Eddie's are the absolute best. Super moist and full of rich flavor. The PB/chocolate chip ones and Cocoa Spice are my favorite flavors, but the oatmeal raisin are amazing as well. I've seen herbivores and eaters of animal products alike adore these, so they're not just for vegans.

It is all natural and doesn't contain any preservatives. You can use this flour for bread machine baking too and it produces superior results. I've used the recipe on the back of the bag and adapted it by using a mixture of whole wheat and regular bread flour because I didn't have any \\"gluten\\" as called for in the recipe. If you substitute 1 ½ cups of regular bread flour for part of the whole wheat flour you don't seem to need the gluten.<br /><br />Bob's Red Mill products remind me of my childhood when my father took me to the Graue Mill in Oakbrook, IL where we watched corn being milled. It is now the only operating waterwheel gristmill in Illinois. While Bob's Red Mill products don't arrive in a cloth bag, the paper bags do have an old fashioned feel and have a string-sewn closure. I love the crinkly sound of the high-quality paper bags.<br /><br />Bob's Red Mill uses slow turning, 100-year-old millstones to naturally grind together the bran, endosperm and germ that contains the nutritious oil. This is a \\"cool stone grinding process\\" which preserves nutrients normally lost in high-speed, high-heat milling.<br /><br />This company produces more than 400 products. Look for everything from hot cereals and mixes to flour milled from a wide variety of grains. If you love making natural breads in your bread machine, the flours are superior and produce deliciously nutritious breads.<br /><br />Whole Wheat Oat Rolls<br /><br />1 c. water, warmed to 110°F<br />5 T. fat-free milk powder<br />2 T. clover honey<br />2 T. salted butter, melted<br />2 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast<br />1 lg. egg<br />2 c. bread flour<br />1 c.

Bars., Eight(8) Bars, (36 Ounces Total) Grocery 5 7 8 N N Superb low carb chocolate I came across this chocolate in Seattle in May 2004. I have tried both the dark chocolate and milk chocolate versions, and found the milk chocolate version to be my preference. (I generally prefer dark choclate because of the rich full chocolate flavor.) The Yamate milk chocolate was as rich and full flavored as most dark chocolates, so I was more than pleased - and satisfied - with the milk chocolate version. I did find the chocolate so rich that, a full slab later, I was on a strong caffeine buff, so buyer beware; this is the real thing. The sweetener, maltilol, luckily has no effect on me. I avoid products containing sucralose (Splenda) because this sweetener messed up my liver enzymes big time, and made me ill and nauseous. (On a side note, fellow low carb dieters, please do your research on sucralose; my doctor thought it was my lipitor that was affecting my liver - turned out it was sucralose.) So, the Yamate Chocolatier milk chocolates are ideal for me on my low carb diet, and meet my demands for a rich, European style, genuine chocolate product which I can relish on my diet. 2004-05-10 US 49136406 R2DPOKJ7UMH1PD B0000DZC47 221848930 Big Acres Hot & Spicy Barbeque Sauce Grocery 5 1 1 N N OUR FAVORITE SAUCE I am so happy Amazon now sells this sauce.

The addition of crispy rice makes this granola much easier on your teeth and the flavor is perfect for breakfast or for an addition to a bowl of fruit and yogurt. I like cutting up kiwi or apples or about any fruit and then topping it with a flavored yogurt. Top with this granola and you have a very healthy breakfast or snack.<br /><br />If you enjoy organic and natural products, you will start to taste chemicals in less than natural products. The taste of organic products is so pure you can really taste the difference and you will never want to go back to other granola once you taste the purity in the Cascadian Farm Organic Granolas.<br /><br />If you are allergic to nuts (a top allergy)like almonds then you know how difficult it is to find any granola without nuts. I've been making my own, but recently found this wonderful product. This saves me a lot of time. Making granola is not difficult, just it takes time away from reviewing!<br /><br />Also look for: Wheat Crunch, Honey Nut 0's and Multi Grain Squares.<br /><br />Why should you eat organic?

Dried shaved bonito tuna is also sold as a gourmet cat treat in small amounts like .25 oz for about the same price as the .88 oz bag offered on this page.<br />Most cats go crazy over it, and it's a low calorie, non-fat treat that doesn't ruin the cat's appetite. It can be used when Clicker training or training a cat by other positive reinforcement methods.<br />Do suggest that you order more than one bag, and, if possible, a bigger bag or other products from this company to offset the minimum shipping charge.<br />Shipping is a bigger problem when ordering bonito as cat treats from some online cat supply companies--as if you order only the typical .25 oz container you can pay about $5.00 shipping--thus doubling the cost. <br />So if ordering a bag for yourself, also ordering some for your cat(s), & some more for your friends who cook Japanese food as well as your friends with cats significantly lowers the shipping cost per item. 2004-05-07 US 50834004 R1GEQM9ULYCJYB B0001ES9F8 55327678 Senseo Coffee Pods Grocery 5 6 8 N N Sensational Senseo!

This is the gum to give to your children!<br /><br />Xylitol is believed to be safe, but doses higher than 30 g per day can cause stomach discomfort. A few pieces a day after meals would seem to be best.<br /><br />The advantages of Xylitol are overwhelmingly positive and chewing this gum would almost seem to be a requirement for good dental health.<br /><br />This gum is HIGHLY recommended for health advantages and the amazingly fresh minty taste The minty taste lasts long after the gum is no longer sweet.

Unlike the more famous roquefort, D'Auvergne is slightly milder, with less of an after-flavor. It does not overpower one's tastes and is a good choice for those looking for the strength of a french Bleu but wishing to avoid offending delicate palettes. <br />This cheese is made from Sheep's Milk and contains the famed veins of blueish bacteria that give the cheese its signature flavor. This Blue was not wet nor sticky as many of the trendier Blues of late seem to have become. Neither has it the overly dry texture of say an English Blue Stilton, a traditional holiday Blue cheese on its own or in combination with the English Gloucster Cheddar and referred to as "Huntsman" cheese, whcih is very pretty, but suitable only as a dessert cheese or for afternoon Tea owing to its dryness.<br />Blue D'Auvergne, on the other hand, has a subtle creamy texture without being overly moist. Some Bleus err on the side of moistness now to the point of being more similar to a triple-creme. Not so this Bleu. D'Auvergne slices well with the proper cutlery and can be crumbled if you'd like it that way. It melted well atop a pear tart we made and complimented the sandy sweetness of the pears wtihout overpowering their delicate flavor & scent as a Bleu such as Roquefort would have easily done. This is a fine addition to the French Bleus and it was a pleasure to have on hand at a time when rich foods were bieng served and the D'Auvergne could be used to sprinkle atop a lightly seared Filet mignon with a sultana reduction sauce or tossed into a simple salad of dandilion greens, leftover crushed walnuts,and nasturtium vinegrette. The possibilities are endless.<br />This cheese was not too rich but was just rich enough to enhance any dish it graced. It's light tang was never overpowering, rather it added a gentle dash of excitment to the foods with which we paired it. Although there was none left over for a simpler dish, I would have loved to have tried it on its own either with wine or as part of a fruit plate. I look forward to getting more of this fine cheese. 2004-05-07 US 19157591 R1UJ31E2KH4LDM B0001J2NDW 201536635 COCOA,STARBUCKS,GOUR,24BX Grocery 5 0 0 N N The best coco I have ever had I enjoy hot coco and I must say that this is the best I have ever had. 2004-05-06 US 37779039 R38M1G7S7JO881 B0000CNU0L 230653497 Kikkoman Instant AKA Miso Soup - Red Grocery 5 2 2 N N Kikkoman Aka Miso Soup (instant)- just like the restaurant!

Since then, I have tried many pre-made spice blends, most of them lacking in flavor when compared to what I make myself.

While I find marshmallow repugnant in nearly all forms, save for s'mores, I have to admit that there's something deeply comforting in the gooey center of these pies. Every once in a while I find myself reaching for a Moon Pie just to get a taste of what treats were like in a simpler time. It takes you back to when people didn't obsess over the fact that a single Moon Pie and an RC cola had all the calories you were supposed to take in over the course of a week. It is the flavor of a lazy Tennessee summer afternoon, made so sweet as to distinguish from the sweet waft of breeze through the purple iris blowing down from the mountains. It's the lilt of twanging banjo and the dribble of a nearby creek. It's another southern cliche that somehow remains untouched by time. 2004-05-04 US 42937361 RWZB5MFAJYE2 B00016JH8E 138923200 Great Gourmet - Live Lobster Two 1- 1.25 lbs.

(Six Cans) Grocery 4 20 21 N N Really unique and delicious I bought the Raisin Brown Bread today on a whim at the grocery store (Publix in Florida) and I really liked it. Of special interest to me was the fact that no refined white sugar is used to sweeten it (only molasses) and no white flour is used (only whole wheat and rye flours). This bread is therefore quite closer to a South Beach Diet-acceptable "dessert" versus something you'd get in a typical bakery (with the possible exception of the molasses...didn't read that far).<br />The raisins were sweet and delicious and the bread is rich and hearty. I paid $1.99 locally and found it to be a very good value. It was flavorful and delicious enough by itself that butter actually was a negative when I tried it! That doesn't happen often.<br />I would recommend you try this product at least once to see what you think. I think it would be great to keep on hand as a snack, as one can could easily last you a few days of snacking. 2004-04-27 US 53078852 R1CB2BSPHB6MOT B0000TQ9H4 187139994 Stramondo Organic Marzipan 8.8-oz.

Grocery 5 40 42 N N The Princess of Hot Stuff "Hime" is "Princess Brand" and it is a big seller in Japanese and Korean grocery stores. This faintly green powder is mixed with water to make a thick paste to get wasabi, used for sushi, sashimi and to flavor tuna and other dishes.<br />One trick is to mix the wasabi in a rice bowl or tea bowl and turn the bowl upside-down. Yes, that's what I said, turn it over. The paste will stick in the bowl, and the developing sulfurous gases that make wasabi hot, hot, hot are retained, improving the bite. Get that wasabi buzz.<br />I like to use it in tuna with wasabi-potato crust. Or being short on time, I just grill some yellowtail and mix a wasabi-sugar-soy sauce glaze and brush it on at the end of the grilling. Hot and sweet. Another totally bizarre but quite normal Japanese dish is wasabi nori chazuke, or tea-rice. Get some leftover rice warmed up in a bowl, put a dab of wasabi and a sprinkle of sushi nori strips. Pour hot green tea (bancha) over and drink like a soup.

Great in salads Za'atar is a mixture of herbs and sumac berries (sour due to naturally occuring malic acid on the surface of the berry. Malic acid is the sour used in those popular sour candy treats like Sour Patch Kids, or the "vinegar" flavor in vinegar-and-salt potato chips.) The mix of resinous herbs like thyme and the sour sumac make a zippy seasoning that is a great substitute for SALT and absolutely wonderful in salads and on pita. If you haven't had za'atar in Middle Eastern foods, you can compare the taste to a lemon and Provence herb mix.<br />I use za'atar two ways: one, on a quick appetizer or finger food for guests. Take pita breads, split to single sheets. Brush with GOOD olive oil and sprinkle with za'atar. Bake until crisp, and cut into wedges. (I bake at a 500 degree oven sometimes to make a kind of melba toast, but you must use a LOT of oil and you must watch like a hawk. ) You can also brush with oil and za'atar and heat in a toaster oven.<br />I also use it in Lebanese salad. This is chopped (not torn) leaf lettuce or Romaine, sliced in fine shreds with diced tomato, red onion, cucumber and red or green bell pepper, seasoned with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic salt and za'atar. Let this sit a bit with the dressing on top of the veggies on top of the lettuce, to allow the flavors to merge. Toss and serve with pita. 2004-04-23 US 38173311 R9LDCW15SQXYS B0001CXRKM 451791340 Guayaki Yerba Mate Chocolatte Tea Bags (16 Count box) Chocolate Grocery 5 25 27 N N Enjoyable Mind you, this is my first excursion into the Yerba Mate world so I have nothing to compare it against, but I am quite happy with this product.

It is a resinous (piney) aromatic bitter-sweet spice, rather intense. The green papery pods are broken open, and the dark seeds inside can be pulled out and ground in a mortar for use in breads, cookies, curries, puddings, chai and the like. It is the spice of "kheer"--Indian rice pudding, where sometimes the whole green pods are thrown in. I use it in tea or even coffee, bruising the black seeds slightly with the pestle. It is also commonly used in pilau (pilaf) or biryani, that festive Indian rice and meat or vegetable cassarole. Scandinavian cooking uses this spice in many cookies and cakes.<br />If you aren't used to the flavor, it can be a bit startling--not sweet and spicey like cinnamon or nutmeg. The pods are a nuisance to process, but the volatile essential oils are so fugitive that it's better to put up with the job of extracting the seeds than to use ground cardamom that will just lose its scent. Rather like the difference between fresh grated nutmeg and powdered. 2004-04-23 US 35421402 R3TFXKDW4P6G2Z B0001GZD4Q 83323846 Olive Lover's Sampler Pack / Asst. 8 oz Jars Grocery 1 5 7 N N Broken Jar!!!

Grocery 5 1 1 N N Good and good for you The flax seed, when expanded by moisture (in your tummy or in a bowl of water) has a gummy fiber that is extremely good for your health. It is said to remove cholesterol (don't know if this is true) and certainly contributes to the necessary fiber in the diet. In Europe, it's common to find a bowl of these small, dark, sesame-like seeds on the breakfast table to be strewn on muesli. They are also commonly baked into or on top of breads.<br />I use them in a kind of no-grain muesli. I grate an apple, mix it with plain yogurt, and add a couple of teaspoons of flax, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds. This mush is pretty close to Bircher Muesli, but no sugar nor oatmeal or other grains. So it's low carb but very like cold cereal. If you can't even eat an apple on a low carb regime, use grated jicama or even cabbage or cucumber instead, and some lemon. 2004-04-23 US 42166233 R152MZRM669TGR B0000ESZ42 185161042 Tomei brand premium grade roasted chestnuts (peeled and ready to eat) 60 bags per case.

But the dark roast is quite good. Its on the Starbuck-type bitter side, but not as strong. None of these single serving coffee machines will taste like fresh ground. That is why you get some one star reviews for the Senseo.<br />I keep the Senseo in my office for hassle-free single servings and it is great for that. Even the dark roast is really not strong enough to qualify as espresso, so I suggest you just use the double packets and make a large cup.<br />Here is a further hint.

However, it has better uses than serving directly with meat. For a start, it doesn't really go with strong game or red meat: it is better with goose, turkey, duck or guinea fowl (or maybe squab...). However, it makes a much nicer accompaniment if you whisk it into the roasting juices with a little wine, port or sherry and serve it as a sauce, rather than spooning it straight onto the plate. It is perhaps best used in baking, in coffee gateaux and chocolate or chestnut tortes, and in the traditional French Buche de Noel. If you're feeling decadent, try a little with rice pudding (a novel way to confuse the traditionalist British and irritate the purist French all at the same time). I particularly like using it as part of a glaze or garnish for carrots or roast parsnips, and it can be good mashed into swede, of all things. Jane Grigson has a very strange recipe for a dessert with raw carrot and this stuff, which is excellent, if you're adventurous. However, it is very rich, and depending on what you want to do with it (baking tends to use larger amounts), this container might be too big for you, and once it's opened you might find yourself desperately trying to use up the wretched stuff before it goes off. However, necessity is the mother of invention, and at least it stimulates your creative talents. 2004-04-19 US 20752735 R16ZU0YQT75Z18 B0001ES9FI 55327678 Senseo Coffee Pods Grocery 5 6 6 N N Happy Senseo Customer A year ago we brought the Senseo machine back from Holland and have been using it with a $100 transformer here in the States, but it was worth it all.

Douwe Egberts makes some of the most delicious European coffee. When the Senseo Single Serve Coffee Maker was created, these single use, disposable coffee 'pods' fit together like hand in glove. 5,000,000 European coffee lovers cannot be wrong...Senseo Douwe Egberts is outstanding, fresh tasting coffee, and each imported 4 pack, (72 Single-Serve pods), comes attractively packaged in a resealable pouch.<br />Medium roast is apt to be a particular favorite for American coffee tastes. It has a rich, full-bodied flavor, neither bitter nor astringent. The Senseo coffee machine can make 1 4 oz cup, 2 4 oz cups, or a single 8 oz cup at a time. The self-contained pods use a tea bag filter-type paper and are approximately 2" in diameter.<br />Right now, the price averages 25 cents per 4 ounce cup. The Senseo makes it with a bit of frothe on the top, and this medium roast coffee is fine straight up, or try it with a little sweetner and a dollop of Hazelnut creamer as I do.<br />I do envision the price point coming down a bit, as the Senseo system becomes the US equivalent of the European sensation. Douwe Egberts recommends using your pods within 2 weeks, however, I've had good luck storing the extras in the freezer section of my refrigerator with no dicernable flavor change. 2004-04-16 US 51076657 R2C6JBLEAIKE6F B0000C69FP 481045724 Tazo calm chamomile Tea Bags, 1.1oz, 24 filterbags Grocery 5 1 1 N N Sometimes 5 stars aren't enough.

It doesn't taste quite the same, though very good.

Grocery 1 1 1 N N When smart consumers turn gullible Take any positive reviews of this product with a huge grain of salt!<br />It's amazing that people are suckered into buying this product. The active ingredients listed on the package are "Anas Barbariae Hepatis Et Cordis Extractum 200 CK HPUS" For most folks unfamiliar with Latin, that sounds like it's gotta be some miracle drug, right? Here's the true story.<br />Since 1925, Oscillococcinum has been prepared as follows. Into a one litre bottle, a mixture of pancreatic juice and glucose is poured. Next a Barbary duck (that's the "Anas Barbariae") is decapitated and 35 grams of its liver and 15 grams of its heart are put into the bottle (that's the "Hepatis Et Cordis"). After 40 days in the sterile bottle, liver and heart disintegrate into a kind of goo, which is then diluted with water into the entire world production of Oscillococcinum for the year.<br />There's no logical reason to believe that anything in duck liver or heart will be an effective flu remedy. But even if there were some magic substance, the manufacturing process guarantees that it will not be in the finished product. The laws of chemistry indicate that after the 12th dilution, it is unlikely that a single molecule from the original organs will remain. Moreover, at the dilutions that Boiron indicates on their packaging (that's the "200 CK HPUS" part) the concentration of the original substance would be 1 part in 100^200, which is a 1 followed by 400 zeroes. A 1 followed by 100 zeroes is called a googol. The estimated number of particles in the universe that we can see is a googol, give or take a few zeroes. So in order for one of the original duck molecules to be present in a container of Oscillococcinum, the mass of that container would have to be about a googol googol googol times our world, which would be incomprehensibly larger than the visible universe.<br />A little research is all it takes to discover that there isn't a SINGLE reputable scientificstudy demonstrating the efficacy of this product. And even assuming that the "active ingredients" (duck heart and liver) have any effect on the flu, remember that by spending your $16 on a container of goose liver pate and crackers, you'll be a dose of duck organs that's billions of times stronger than what goes into this so-called "drug". All things considered, your money is better invested in a flu shot BEFORE flu season starts. 2004-04-11 US 47997635 R2KMBCDG6D3XEZ B0001DMTSW 267553661 Lee Kum Kee Sauce for Spicy Garlic Eggplant Grocery 5 0 0 N N Terrific Sauce This sauce is terrific.

It is a constant companion on my daily subway rides and yes, each article is short, succinct and not to mention, extremely well-written. There is the occasional biasness in a few of its articles but generally, it is a far more objective newsmagazine than what you will normally find in other weeklies. The Surveys are extremely good with a wide range of topics. That also provides food for thought and discussion.

Sadly in America have no weekly news magazine that comes within miles of The Economist. This magazine has been around for over 150 years, and the experience shows.<br />I have been a subscriber for 25 years. My college political science professor declared "The Economist has better intelligence than the CIA". I picked up a copy and have been a loyal subscriber since. I challenge anyone to read a few issues at a local library and then pick up Time or Newsweek and marvel at the difference in content, style, and perspective. You won't go back.<br />It is true that the magazine is conservative in the classical sense, but this perspective is in no way limiting. It's ok for a magazine to have a point of view. The writing is tight, intelligent and aimed at thinking adults. The analysis is first rate.<br />The regular "surveys" are a treat. These are in-depth collections of articles on a particular country or other topic (such as technology). Beyond the current affairs reporting, the Arts and Science sections very often contain information I don't see elsewhere for a year. The weekly obituary often illustrates the life of someone you haven't heard of, in the process introducing you to a previously unknown slice of history or art.<br />The Economist simply has no equal!

I grew up in Chicago in an area full of German Import Deli's and this cheese is wonderful. Typically you grate the cheese (which is why often this cheese is also known as "Reibekaese" or grating cheese), and then you mix the grated cheese with butter or margerine before spreading it on bread or crackers. This allows you to control how "herby" your final cheese is. Adding a lot of Sap Sago to a little butter makes for a very sharp tasting cheese, less Sap Sago, of course, makes it milder, but its always full of flavor. 2004-04-08 US 52744980 R10XZ2K8BANQVB B0000CFLCQ 446009380 Perfect Brew Cone Filter (Pack of 12) Grocery 5 8 8 N Y So Happy to Find this again!!!

I'd say one out of every 20 jbs end ups getting crushed or cut up on average.<br />As a result, the chute where you retrieve the candy can get messy from all the damaged jelly belly shards.<br />My only other minor complaints would be that it only dispenses 2-3 jelly bellys at a time (although this could be a blessing considering how addictive the jbs can get), and the chute to retrieve the jbs is a little small making it difficult to fish out the candy with adult fingers. 2004-04-07 US 46611711 R3HELPRG5S45EB B0001T3WCS 134441740 Red Raspberry Puree - 30 Ounces (1 container) Grocery 5 0 0 N N Fabulous Desserts If you've ever made your own raspberry puree, you will appreciate this product!

I have been drinking Douwe Egberts red label coffee for about 4 years now and the last time I was in Holland visiting friends I had a taste of Senseo Crema Dark Roast... I love this coffee...

I would not pass on this coffee ever.. It is adictive, it is that good...<br />Buy this coffee maker and this Dark Roast blend and you will see what I mean... It is well worth the money...<br />Also for those who didn't like the coffee, remember to read the instructions carefully because you first have to run clear water thru the Senseo before you use it.... It adds to the flavor of the coffee and prepares the maker for use...

A great paper to read about it is entitled "Experiments in Pemmican Preparation," which apparently appeared in the Journal of the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society.

The articles are clear and insightful.

But don't let that fool you. It is there meerly to cheer up some of the most thoughtful and thorough analysis of economics, politics, foreign affairs, and anything else important affecting the world. The magazine is weekly, so articles are timely as well.<br />Their credibility is impeccable. There is no discernable bias in my opinion, save a pro free market stance. This is very appealing in a world where I cannot even think of another news source of which I believe to be politically unbiased.<br />The recent train bombings in Madrid were an issue on which I wanted to see the Economist's take. Conservatives are claiming Spain is appeasing terrorism, while liberals are defending Spain as exercising its democrat free rights to choose its government... and of course, as is the standard today, neither are willing to give an inch on their positions.

When they say "mild," "medium" or "hot," you can trust them. The roasted tomato flavor has a pleasant "thereness" in the chipotle version. The cilantro is also discernible. Exacting foodies may be disappointed that the chipotle presence is achieved by the combination of jalapenos and natural smoke flavoring (a barley malt product), rather than, apparently, peppers that have been smoked over wood chips. Those for whom chipotle means fiery may not appreciate the "medium" level of heat in this product. 2004-03-21 US 52122231 R105PRZOLT0GNU B0000D18YP 870053315 Lyle's Golden Syrup Grocery 5 0 0 N N Best Syrup Available If you like corn syrup, this is the best available anywhere. 2004-03-20 US 43573045 R1WRGR848UMN0N B0000TM9KA 535682042 Aunt Lizzie's Zero Carb Cheese Straw Bites - 20 oz Tin Grocery 5 4 6 N Y YUMMY YUMMY , BUT SPICY AS ALL GETOUT!!

I had to depend on gifts from them or when I would visit for my supply. It became a tradition for my sister, sister-in-law, my mom, and I to have Market Spice tea at our family Christmas party each year. It makes the whole house smell wonderful and nothing beats the slightly sweet, spicy taste. I am so glad Amazon has it available now and I can get some any time, especially since I have gotten several of my friends hooked on it too. Although I no longer have to make my supply last I do have a tip. If not used within 6-8 months the tea will get a bitter taste. However I have started storing my tea bags in the refrigerator or freezer and they last a year or longer. However, once you try this tea you'll want to brew all of it up long before then. 2004-03-17 US 40652845 RCNVU0QAMF58L B0001DB6M2 728840058 Brew-in-Mu g Tea Mug with Lid and Infuser - White Grocery 5 17 17 N N great mug!

I'll also break off pieces to eat with low-carb ice cream. A real treat there.<br />I purchased several of the other flavors of Ross Chocolates for my husband's birthday. He practically inhaled them all. He gave a piece to our chocolate-loving 7 year old niece who enthusiatically ate it and gave it her seal of approval.<br />The only potential drawback is that it's a bit pricey. But if you need a chocolate fix while on a low-carb diet, this chocolate (or any other of Ross's flavors) will definitely help you.

The Economist never fails to cover the stories that really matter in the world, whether they are flashy or not. Including politics, technology, and the arts, as well as economics, it delves deeper and argues more rationally than any other magazine or newspaper available.<BR>Like all newspapers and magazines, it has an angle. As its editors freely admit, it was founded in the 19th century with the express purpose of promoting globalization and free trade around the world- a mission which it continues to this day. Many people mistakenly label the Economist as "conservative". The term "liberal" is only used to label those politically or socially (as opposed to economically) left-of-center in the US. In Britain (the home of this magazine), "liberal" refers to economically liberal- e.g. pro free-trade- a stance more often associated with the right, at least in America. It is also a uniquely American custom to mix social mores up with politics- a path rarely (if ever) followed in Britain. (Many Brits consider it absurd, for example, that the debate about abortion in the States is actually in the hands of lawmakers and the judicial system, making it a debate about 'right' and 'wrong' rather than safety and feasability). Thus, this magazine takes its stands in this British tradition. It is not steeped in what Americans consider conservative mainstays- Christianity, "traditional" values, or naked hatred toward the welfare state as the root of all evil. Judgments are rationally made on sound (usually economic) policy, nothing more.<BR>I describe myself as a social liberal and, though I have, on rare occassions, disagreed with some of the stances taken by the Economist, I have never seen a piece of writing between its covers which I considered unfair, or which drew unfounded conclusions. (Perhaps it helps that I am also pro-global free trade).Rather than a (American-term) conservative mouth-piece, I find this publication refreshingly level-headed and non-partisan. It is unfortunate there are not more such news sources available. 2004-03-06 US 48428676 RGWYFJJCUYK15 B0000DG72H 144203420 Bavaria Munich Weisswurst Grocery 5 17 17 N N don't fry it, but.....

I gave him a sampler pak of Ross Chocolates for Valentine's Day, and he loves this chocolate. He's ordered more of it on his own. The flavor is very good, and the consistency (what others are calling "mouth feel") is extremely close to "real" chocolate. All the flavors are delicious. My one caution is that it is more expensive to order this chocolate through whatever service is selling this through Amazon than from Ross directly. A sampler pak direct from Ross is about $13, as compared to the "sale" price of $15 here, allegedly marked down from $22. One wonders what the mark-up is for. 2004-03-05 US 36800123 RZXCHBR0IDWEF B0000CD04X 657069593 Cereal, Optimum Slim, Organic, 14 oz. Grocery 5 2 2 N N The best cereal out there!

Not many cereal can boast 11gm of fiber per serving. On top of that, Optimum Slim is USDA Organic. But best of all, it tastes great! I can eat without milk. It's like I was eating Chex mix (no kidding)! Also I might add, as a side effect, I feel full all the time cuz of the fiber and therefore I lost 5 pounds after eating it.

Although the aroma has a strong note of cocoa from the crushed cocoa shells and beans present as ingredients, there is only a subtle background taste of cocoa. The predominant flavor is cinnamon and ginger. Considering the flavor, I have given this tea only 3 stars because there are better spice teas on the market. But I give it 5 stars for originality. The tea is packaged in keeping with a yoga theme, claiming that it is a tea formulated to uplift body and soul. The box contains instructions on meditation, a note from Yogi Bhajan, the yogi that guides the business practices of the company, and a poem that inspired the illustration of the tea cup on the front of the box. Whether you find this kitschy or useful, it certainly does make for distinctive packaging.

I use one drop in about 25 ounces of home-made tomato sauce and it makes the sauce noticibly hot. This is NOT a sauce to dash into your soup or to liven up some salsa. DON'T USE IT LIKE TABASCO!!! It is a heavy-duty hot sauce that should be used as in ingredient when cooking a decent amount of a dish. My brother doubted its powers so I poked the end of a toothpick into the sauce and gave it to him. The poor guy freaked and ate more Italian bread than I've ever seen anyone eat in my life.

Tazo has taken Rooibos tea to a new level by blending African Rooibos (red bush) with hibiscus, lemon myrtle, lemon verbena, orange peel, rosemary, and lemon balm.<br /><br />Rooibos has quite a distinctive fragrance that reminds me a bit of a fragrant flowers waving in a warm afternoon breeze after an African veld fire. I remember mixing in a tablespoon of condensed milk as a child. Now I mix in powdered milk and honey. Honey seems to bring out the rich flavors in this particular tea blend.<br /><br />For some reason, this blend is rather delicious with a toasted and buttered cinnamon/raisin bagel.<br /><br />I've recently rediscovered the health benefits of Rooibos although I can truly say I've been drinking this tea for most of my existence on this planet. Rooibos is naturally sweet, very aromatic and is high in magnesium, calcium, iron and copper. Mothers in Africa will often add an infusion of this tea to a bottle of milk for babies to cure colic.<br /><br />An application of cold Rooibos tea can also aid in clearing the skin or is recommended for allergies, indigestion, insomnia and nervous tension. Just drinking the tea seems to improve your skin due to the high antioxidant levels, 50 times that of green tea!<br /><br />This is one of the Tazo teas that should not be steeped for too long because of all the delicate flavors. If you enjoy this tea, you might also want to try Tazo Honeybush tea.

Unlike FOX News, whose "reporters" pretty much say whatever Rupert tells them to, or CNN, which often seems like the adult version of the old kids' show with Gary Gnu ("No Gnus is Good Gnus"), or the pro-American big business magazines in the states, The Economist provides deep and insightful analysis of global issues. It does have a lean - it is of course pro-free markets, pro-trade, and pro-capitalism - but it does not hide this lean, and neither do I. What's great is that when the writers of the Economist give their opinion, they tell you flat out that it is their opinion that they are giving; it's not hidden in sentimentally-charged rhetoric. It is also pro-science, pro-technology, pro-reason, and pro-progress, which is something foreign to American-style conservatism, the adherents of which tend to rely on religiously-based and highly sentimental rhetoric to back the claims they make. (For one example, The Economist has maintained for years a compelling economic argument that drugs should be legalized.) The Economist is much closer to the spirit of those who founded this country, more interesting and persuasive than either its conservative or semi-liberal counterparts in America, and, frankly, makes a lot of sense on most issues. 2004-02-19 US 38556194 RH8B7ZBRU2WC B0000CH4F7 259812694 Hot Cinnamon Spice Loose Tea, 4 Ounce Tin Grocery 4 5 6 N N Mmmm....

According to the Harney literature, the tea contains no sugar, but to taste the tea you will insist that it has sugar in it. I think the sweet taste comes from the sweet cloves used within the tea.

It is a coffee that is deeply fragrant, pungent, smooth as a wine. This is a spectacular coffee as are all those in this series. One must note that the king of coffees, Popoyan, is still as good as it always was.

The result is a wide range of deep, ultra-smooth delicious cup that is intoxicating.<br />By all means, get the whole bean and grind it. Some have argued that whole bean coffee cheats the buyer since the space between the beans takes up room for the product.

This is because of its low tannin content. It is reputedly high in antioxidants (many web sites say this of its main ingredient, the rooibos, or "red bush"). It reaches full flavor after about 4 minutes steeping, but supposedly continues to release antioxidants if it is steeped even 10-20 minutes. I like it with 3 teaspoons of raw cane sugar added, but that is not because of any bitterness. 2004-02-10 US 49969443 R396T3711P1M4T B00018H5VS 490847718 Koeze's Colossal Cashews - 30 oz.

(i had been sitting in the sun and roasting in peanut butter for a while at that point). in any event, i got up and did just what that magical creature said, and, i have to say, this truly is the telekinesis for which i'd been searching. i feel younger (the monk-unicorn showed me how to reverse time), lighter (i ditched the anvil i'd been carrying around when i bought the bread), and smarter (i think that speaks for itself). <br />in short, this peanut butter has singlehandedly changed my life, and if you feel like you're missing something, you might try spreading some of this stuff on crackers. also, you could try taking a look behind the couch. 2004-02-06 US 39595908 R2PB5MMAPGLTGJ B0000CE405 781713324 Cookie Waffles, Honey & Maple (8 per pk), Organic, 8.5 oz.

I dipped a finger in each and couldn't decide which to put on the salad, so I ate three mini bowls with one of each! <br />I started with Very Blue Cheese, which is full of the flavor of its namesake and adds punch to a fresh, crunchy romaine salad. Bold Balsamic tastes wonderful on mixed greens- truly the only readymade vinaigrette that tastes better than something you could whip up at home. The Mango-Lime sounds unconventional, but it has a wonderful tart citrus flavor to balance out the sweetness of the mangoes, and goes well on a spicy green like arugula.<br />These three dressings knock the living daylights out of anything you'd find in a conventional supermarket!

I've also been adding a scoop of All One Vitamin Powder to the blend.<br /><br />This is my favorite Chocolate Flavor Soy Shake. If you have tried a lot of health shakes in the past few years, you will become very loyal to GeniSoy brand products. They just taste better. I can't wait to try the other flavors since I've only tasted the vanilla and chocolate. I hear they now have a Strawberry Banana flavor. Hey, you can't have too many Soy Protein powders!

I especially love this blend when eating a Caramel Apple Cobbler Clif Bar. For some reason, the flavors mingle nicely. I think it is the slightly nutty flavor of the Darjeeling.<br /><br />While many of the Tazo teas are blends of a variety of teas, this tea is purely a blend of Organic Black Darjeeling teas. The tea is grown near India's border with Bhutan. There are only \\"true Darjeeling\\" tea leaves in this tea.<br /><br />This tea is just perfect when blended with an Organic Sucanat: Natural Sugar Cane. You might also want to try using \\"milk powder\\" instead of cold milk with your tea. I find it helps to keep the tea strength and adds a creamy element to the smoothness of this tea.<br /><br />Darjeeling is a very satisfying blend for morning tea. You might also enjoy AWAKE and Earl Grey if you enjoy this tea.<br /><br />I just love the packaging of the Tazo Teas. The individual wrappings have a nice crinkly sound and the colors are all so soothing and quite beautiful. These teas are definitely for the aesthetically aware. Drinking Tazo teas literally becomes a magical experience. There is something mysterious going on here. The teas even seem to have a magical glint or luster to them. When you drink Tazo teas the world looks more beautiful and you feel much more aware of life itself.

This sugar takes baking and tea drinking to new levels of pleasure.<br /><br />When holding this sugar in the palm of your hand, you will notice the irregularity of the crystals and the \\"dark brown sugar\\" color. This does have a flavor that is reminiscent of brown sugar and yet the texture is much more natural and the crystals take longer to melt on your tongue.<br /><br />Recently I've been discovering a variety of more natural sweeteners. This on is perfect for tea because it not only adds sweetness; it adds a caramel flavor to teas in which you use milk. There is a purity in the flavor and you feel better because you are supporting organic farms and keeping your body healthy.<br /><br />This is a one-for-one replacement for refined white or brown sugar.<br /><br />Sucanat is made from 100% certified organic sugar cane. The sugar cane is \\"green cut.\\" This means the fields are not burned and the leaves and tops of the cane plant are left in the field. The sugar is minimally processed and once the sugar cane is harvested it is pressed to squeeze out all the cane juice. This juice is then clarified, filtered and evaporated. This helps to remove excess water. The syrup is then crystallized and a sugar with a molasses flavor is produced. There are also vitamins, minerals and trace elements from the sugar cane plant. One teaspoon of Sucanat contains 10mg of Potassium and 6mg of Calcium.<br /><br />If you are still using white sugar, try Sucanat. It might surprise you with added flavor, goodness and purity. I find the flavor to be superior to refined white sugar. This sugar will add a touch of caramel flavor to all your baking.<br /><br />If you are looking for an even deeper flavor for chocolate recipes, try Muscovado sugar. It has a rich flavor that can't be matched by any regular brown sugar you would find in your grocery store. With Muscovado and Sucanat, you can take your baking to the next level.<br /><br />~The Rebecca Review 2004-01-25 US 33869990 RG9Q0Z3RIAF0S B0000DD90O 583772665 Lemon Oil, 1 fl oz Grocery 5 0 0 N N Wonderful!

Then I found it in the U.S. and realized that the instructions he gave me were not at all a translation, but they are better than what's printed on the box. So disregard the printed directions and use my recipe instead! 1 lb. chicken, 1 large onion, 3 medium potatoes (peeled), 2 carrots (peeled). Cut all the preceding into medium-sized pieces. Brown the onion and chicken. Add 3-4 cups of water and the potatoes and carrots. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are done. Remove from heat and add the Golden Curry (cut it into pieces for easier melting). Mix well and it's soooooo tasty! Serve over rice or udon noodles. 5 servings?

Blair isn't joking: that plastic skull is a cogent, stark warning not to take this sauce lightly. And another note: this isn't so much a sauce as it is an additive.<br />Here's how you can literally fire up your mouth: take one 24 ounce jar of generic hot salsa from your supermarket. Let's say you laugh at their idea of "hot", which means you're ready to go with Blair's Sudden Death Sauce.<br />Put the salsa in a blender. Do not blend yet. Pour about 1/4" of water in the empty jar, shake it up, pour into the blender (get all of your salsa's worth). Put four-six drops of Blair's into the blender. Cover and blend on "Liquify".<br />Pour into a serving bowl. Take a nacho chip, dip, and eat. Now run to your kitchen sink, and stick your mouth under the tap. After five minutes, the burning should stop.<br />Repeat until the bag of chips are gone.<br />I add a few drops to canned chicken soup, and it really makes it far more tasty and hot than you could ever buy. I'm impressed at how tasty the sauce really is, if you use it properly. It takes a little practice to get the right balance of flavor-to-hot, but it really does add flavor to soups, salads, chili (man, does it ever), hamburger, just about anything. A single bottle might last you about three months, and you'll sneer at lesser sauces in your grocer's aisles.<br />fred 2004-01-09 US 44294769 RKMYY36UEO9JR B0000TL5HI 403519112 Organic Fruit Basket Grocery 4 5 5 N N service with a smile I purchased the organic fruit basket as a gift for a coworker.

Whenever I eat at a new diner -- and in Jersey we have many fine ones -- I order a Taylor Ham and cheddar omelette, and ask for a bottle of Tabasco when it arrives. If I get Texas Pete or some other substitution, I just pass, because it's not even close: Tabasco has the aged vinegar and pepper taste unique among its peers. It's hot without being too hot, and the flavor, if one acquires the taste for it, can make your breakfast omelette or lunchtime chicken soup much improved for the addition. 2004-01-09 US 50199793 R21S8T2AS81P4P B0000DBN1H 961708685 Tazo Awake Tea for Keurig Brewers - English Breakfast Grocery 5 3 5 N Y English Breakfast Style - High Quality Tea \\"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.\\" -Henry James, Portrait of a Lady<br /><br />This \\"English Breakfast\\" style tea is quite satisfying and has a rich flavor that is quite delicious.<br /><br />I'd like to say that their teas are best steeped for an extra 5-10 minutes to draw out all the delicious flavors. You can use a teapot or a coffee maker to make tea. Simply put the tea in a coffee filter or the tea bags in the coffee pot, then allow the boiling water to drip over the tea leaves.<br /><br />The sensual blend of exotic spices, teas and herbs used in their teas include a mixture of the following: Black tea, green tea, hibiscus flowers, chamomile flowers, lemongrass, spearmint leaves, blackberry leaves, cinnamon, Rooibos, Gingerroot, rose hips, orange peel, rose petals, licorice root, safflowers, black pepper, lemon verbena leaves, cardamom, cloves, peppermint leaves, chicory, sarsaparilla root, lemon balm leaf, star anise and red poppy flowers.<br /><br />This is a blend of black teas, but all their teas are worth trying.

When I came to live in the US it was very difficult to find them and I sorely missed them. <BR>Now they are omnipresent and I don't miss them anymore. My knowledge and taste for chocolate has evolved since, so I find them too sweet and I can taste the vanillin (used instead of the more expensive vanilla). I would not buy a box for private consumption, or for a gift, but I do pick up one, once in a while, next to a shop chash register in memory of the time past.<BR>OK, but what are they?<BR>Each of them looks like a small truffle. The filling is gianduja chocolate (gianduja chocolate is milk chcolate with hazelnut powder mixed until it forms a paste. It is basically like Nutella, just denser), with small pieces of hazelnut and at least one full hazelnut on top. The whole thing is covered by dark chocolate.<BR>It looks like they are in fashion now, because I see them everywhere 2004-01-07 US 49272736 R22LSPY7LENOYQ B0000TU98E 897392698 Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) Grocery 5 14 17 N N Great Flavor for pre-ground coffee. After traveling to the Netherlands and drinking Douwe Egberts coffee in just about every restaurant I decided to try to get some DE Coffee in the US. It's not very easy to find!

Very much similar to the one you would find in a supermarket. Very sugary, very much taste of milk, vanillin instead of vanilla.<BR>The Perugina brand still carries a lot of renoun in Italy (I am Italian), but there is so much, so much better than this now on the market.<BR>It is not bad, don't get me wrong. It is equivalent to the other chocolates in it's price range. <BR>If you are ready to spend something more try Valrhona Le Lacte Milk Chocolate, for a totally different experience.<BR>Then again, I am a "believer" in dark chocolate, so no milk chocolate is ever good enougth :) 2004-01-07 US 52172688 RQORJR5OCWRET B0000TM9KA 535682042 Aunt Lizzie's Zero Carb Cheese Straw Bites - 20 oz Tin Grocery 5 11 11 N Y Hooray for Aunt Lizzie! I just got my first tin today -- and I say "first," because I know there will be many, many more in my future! These cheese straws are just divine -- delicious, savory, great texture. You really feel like you're eating a batch of "fully loaded" premium cheese straws. Having started on the Atkins plan, I've been looking high and low for something that actually tastes good that satisfies that craving for a "munchie." This has been a super find! (My other super find, also available on Amazon, is Ross chocolates...super-low-carb and amazingly delicious.)

Could be even better This is good, but other brands are better.<BR>Torrone is the italian way of making nougat. This torrone is the hazelnut one in the usual white paste (honey, sugar and something else that I don't remember). This particular torrone is the \\"morbido\\" version, by now prevalent. \\"Morbido\\" meas \\"soft\\". Actually, in this product a lot of the white paste is softer even for the morbido type; it is almost fluid.<BR>This particular product is a variation of torrone, quite popular in Piedmont during Winter Vacations. Is a variation because it has other things besides torrone itself. This particular brand has 2 layers: 1 torrone layer and 1 layer of rum chocolate (it is rum chocolate paste; it is not chocolate filled with rum liquor). The whole thing is covered with dark chocolate. The dark chocolate is very, very thick below constituting a 3rd layer. On top and to the side the chocolate it thinner: just a cover to keep the hole thing together.<BR>The rum flavor is strong (in a good sense) and the hazelnut is strong too, but could/should be stronger.<BR>By now I got so snotty with chocolate that I can see how the chocolate could be better (both the chocolate in chocolate-rum paste) and the chocolate in the covering. Anyway, as a whole this torrone al rhum e cioccolato is quite good, and until I can find the brand I was used to in Italy I'll keep on buying it.<BR> 2004-01-07 US 51875945 R1VG667K3KSU7B B0000SX9U0 795013473 Fresh Jumbo Shrimp, 2 Lbs Grocery 5 16 23 N Y Surprisingly good shrimp I wanted to order something from the gourmet food section besides chocolate, so I picked this package of 1lb of jumbo shrimp.<br />The packaging was very nice, they came in a large styrofoam box with icepacks keeping them cold. I immediately froze them when I got them, as I wasn't cooking them within the next 24-48 hours.<br />They dethawed well and I made them as a shrimp cocktail. They were just as good as any shrimp I've bought in a grocery store, though far from the best I've tasted.<br />While they were good, I will probably just buy my shrimp from the grocery store as the taste is comparable and then I don't have to pay for shipping. They were decent shrimp though, so I recommend them to people who live in areas where shrimp is not readily available. 2004-01-06 US 52771966 R1EPFUMEOL7YS6 B00005IX97 513634569 Espressione Classic Coffee Pods, Box of 150 Grocery 5 4 4 N Y Delicious We ordered these to go with our new espresso machine and have been so pleased with them. We were really shocked at how delicious and tasty this coffee is - I bought it based on the Amazon reviews and they were right on. I decided these deserved another good review after I tried a Starbucks pod this morning and had to throw it out it was so terrible - it had no flavor and tasted watered down even though I made the correct amount (1 oz.) I have been lavishing praise on our espresso machine, which it does deserve, but I have now realized that the Espressione pods are the big reason that we've fallen so in love with our home espressos. The coffee is very flavorful, richly so. The price is also competitive when ordered in bulk like this, a great deal (these pods come out to be $.40 each whereas the Starbucks pods were $.41 each). They are certainly worth more.<br />One caveat, make sure to order the 100% Arabica pods - you would be well advised to always buy Arabica coffee as it is far superior to coffee made with the cheaper, more acidic Robusto beans. 2004-01-06 US 52982485 RQ5CZ5IMTZ8E5 B0000ESWO4 589427690 Caviar, 3.5 oz.

Serious salt -- and I like salt. So be sure to order a mirror to go with them, because the twisted pucker your face will go into will be worth the price, plus shipping. Buy these, and buy a mirror.

I haven't found a rice that compares with basmati. The rice is aromatic ans has a nutty almost sweet flavor that adds a wonderful richess to many savory dishes. While I don't use this with asian dishes (I think there is too much flavor) I use this in most other things. It adds a great flavor to stuffings, rice pilafs and plain cooked meant to be served with a topping (like a meat/veggie mix). It holds its own against thick flavored sauces and its a real winner on my table.<br />I usually will wash this rice a few times before cooking to carry away some of the starch. Some people would find this rinses some flavor but as long as you dont over-do the pre-rinse you will be fine. It works especially will when briefly sauteed in butter or olive oil proir to cooking. That will accentuate all the wonderful naturally occuring nutty traits.<br />The grains are generally separate and get longer rather than plumper when cooked. So if you are expecting a very plump grain you may have a hard to deciding when its done. I have used this in a rice cooker and found it needs quite a bit more water than the rice cooker directions suggest (just as an fyi in case you open the lid and find dry grains at the top, like I did)<br />As an all purpose rice I just love this. Its a flavor that works very well with most savory dishes and I think you will enjoy the texture once you experieince it 2003-12-21 US 50754297 R19OU2AH2YQ4KN B0000DG5EA 56881987 Frank's ® Original RedHot ® Cayenne Pepper Sauce, 5 fl oz Grocery 5 3 4 N N Top-Notch Hot Sauce Frank's RedHot Original has been marketed since 1920 and is one of the best Louisiana-style hot sauces widely available.

Sriracha, on the other hand, is a common sauce in Thailand and is named after the largest harbor in that country. This version, made in California, is a wonderful diversion from Tabasco-like sauces. Although made with peppers and relatively hot, the sauce has a generous helping of garlic taste that really perks up food. It's ideal for Asian recipes, but it can be used with any food to which you want to add some heat, including soups, pasta, and chicken wings (the company also has a website that includes some excellent recipes). The sauce comes in a handy plastic squeeze bottle that is ideal for squirting just the right amount into your food. If you're tired of the usual old hot sauce, give Sriracha a try. 2003-12-19 US 25011350 R152CH4RK19XYA B0000CDAY2 799057450 Downeast Lobster Rolls Grocery 5 8 8 N N Just like being in Maine I recently received the Maine Lobster Salad, complete with authentic split-top rolls (just like the kind I had as a kid growing up in New England).

Coconut oil that can be used for body and for cooking. I was suspect. Opened jar to get a wiff of my beloved coconut fragrance. NONE. Only after the fact did I do my reading to learn the benefits of this product. I Like it. Texture while cold seems gritty upon scooping out, but goes on smooth upon application. If heated, turns completely liquid. Left mine by a heating element accidently and I thought someone had poured water into the jar. Firmed back up on window sill. I used this product for after bath with great results. Used it on the kids. Used it for sauteing something when I ran out of regular oil. Worked fine. I didn't rate 5 stars because I didn't like the idea of scooping it out while firm which is my preferred texture for body application. I'd buy it again as I'm moving towards more natural products. 2003-12-18 US 51043906 R1DGFJXHE8B85A B0000CNU2Q 463526503 Welpac Panko Bread Crumbs Grocery 5 28 28 N N The best bread crumbs...you'll never go back Panko bread crumbs are just awesome. When used for breading they make a light yet crispy coating...The are different than traditional *american type* crumbs in the way that soft powder snow is different than heavy packed snow.<br />The crumbs themselves are larger and irregularly shaped so as they lie on eachother they don't form a dense compressed breading but one with substance that still remains airy. Their flavor is very light and seasoning is needed but this is a plus for me as I can season to taste.<br />I have also mixed these with traditional bread crumbs at times as these tend to be expensive for a lighter style coating but still essentially very much like all panko dishes. I tend to use a light egg wash with these as I find using just eggs to dip the meat/poulty/fish in a bit heavy for these crumbs.<br />In general I find these far superior for coating food. These aren't the kind of bread crumbs I use for adding bulk (ie meatloaf, meatballs etc). I have been using these for a few years now an there is a huge difference between these and the others. I think if you try them you will really enjoy the light crisp crusts you can achieve... 2003-12-18 US 51721867 R36JBZNW1XH1YX B0000D9ND6 362411336 Munster d'Alsace (7 ounce) Grocery 5 11 12 N N A Great Cheese - But Buyer Beware! Let's just start with a few points of clarification. First, Alsace is NOT German speaking as is mentioned above. Say that to an Alsatian and you're likely to start a fight. Second, while this cheese is one of the strongest smelling cheeses I can think of, the strength of the cheese changes drastically depending on age. That is to say that most Alsatians consider this a seasonal cheese; most young Munsters are quite mild in flavor, given their smell anyway. Old Munsters are exceedingly strong. Therefore, it would be quite a gamble to buy this cheese online without knowing the age or the state of the cheese. With all that said this cheese might very well be worth the gamble. In Alsace it is also quite common to sprinkle the cheese with caraway seeds. In addition to the wine pairings (try an Alsatian Tokay), it goes great with beer (Alsatian or German beers, though my favorite is Hoegaarden). 2003-12-17 US 53045829 R6CC05NLCHN23 B0000D9MTI 254458973 igourmet Black Diamond Grand Reserve Cheddar - Pound Cut (15.5 ounce) Grocery 4 11 13 N N Excellent Cheese Indeed - but Check this out This cheese is slightly crumbly, tangy, I believe it *would* go well with chutney, but it's more versatile than that. <br />Still, if this type of cheese hits your hot button, you should consider trying the "special reserve" Black Diamond.

In addition, the sodium content is relatively low - 110mg per teaspoon (many comparable brands have 200-250mg), making it an excellent, low-sodium way to add flavor to your food.

It is a wonderful item that adds *restuant-quality* to your soups, stocks, sauces and flavored rices. Including a teaspoon of this to a recipe (even if you have alread added stock) brings a body and taste that isn't usually expected in cooking outside a professional cooking.<br />I have tried this flavor as well as the chicken and roasted chicken and they are all excellent. It is the essenese of stock cooked down to a very thick paste/gel consistancy. You can use this in water to make a stock but I have found that adding a small amount to what ever stock you normally use is very good and more cost effective.<br />Once opened it will stay good a little while in the fridge. I have kept it about a week after opening. If I am going to have it longer I will portion it up into small pieces and freeze the pieces individually.<br />It is not a salted item like a soup stock cube which is very welcome. If you want more flavor you just can add more without worrying that you item will become so salty you won't be able to eat it. You can season according to your own preference.<br />I have found this a great help to add to home made soup stocks that are a bit weak in body and flavor. I have also added it to things like risotto and stir frys. Its a wonderful, although not inexpensive pantry item. 2003-12-14 US 51043906 R3G8HIPSL5AZNW B0000D171J 288183442 Dried Mangoes Grocery 5 1 1 N N Yummy... These are a really satisfying snack. Unlike some snack food that can be swallowed almost without chewing ...this has a nice chewy consistancy. It is sweet but not overly so (take into consideration that mangos are pretty sweet and the dried ones probably more so, so these are sweeter than dried apricots or peaches. They probably are more on the line of dried pineapple)<br />I had originally got these to try to find more healthy options for my son to eat. I thought maybe the taste and consistancy would be similar to fruit roll ups and that he would like them. In the end, I ended up liking them much more than he did. Perhaps you need to be a mango fan to begin with to enjoy them.<br />I buy them every once in a while as I find them an expensive dried fruit option but they are my very favorite dried fruit option. 2003-12-14 US 51697178 R2NO13W62OE5E3 B00015F5NQ 161796004 Olive Tapenade Spread, Double Gift Pack Grocery 5 0 0 N N Fantastic This one's a little less bold than the Black Olive Tapenade Spread, and it's got a fantastic flavor all it's own.

A classic is romaine lettuce, gorgonzola and apple slices.<br />In contrast, gouda is a milder creamy cheese, great for breads. If cheddar were a starting point, I would say gouda is more creamy. It tends to break and crumble less easily, and really stick to bread surfaces better.<br />Both will make you forget about the normal supermarket colby or cheddar.

It is more like carbonated water with a splash of real orange juice and flavor.<br /><br />I think I first tasted this juice in a café next to the Moulin Rouge in Paris. At least, that is what I remember when we ate lunch after stepping off the tour bus. Anyway, imagine my surprise when I found it was also being sold over here in local tea shops and grocery stores.

Though if eaten alone they will not tantalize your taste buds, when mixed with other foods will add much to the nutrition of your meal.<br />They are especially important in the daily diet of women, as many experts say that women over the age of 40 benefit greatly from adding soy products to their diet, helping to turn down the heat index of those "hot flashes".<br />You will be surprised when you open an Eden Black Soy Bean can, that unlike some other brands, it is packed to the top with beans, and with very little liquid; other than the small quantity of water, the only other ingredient in Eden Black Soy Beans is kombu seaweed, and that does not make it taste salty or fishy, in fact, the aftertaste these beans have is slightly sweet. The black beans are somewhat more delicate than their yellow soy bean relatives, and these have been cooked, but still retain their shape, density, and are shiny dark brown in color.<br />The versatility of the soy bean is amazing. It will help your budget and cholesterol level if you mix it in with your ground beef dishes, are excellent in soups, and can be blended into just about anything. I simply add these beans to a salad to make it a complete and satisfying meal.<br />A serving size of ½ a cup provides:<br />Calories: 120<br />Dietary Fiber: 28%<br />Protein (11 g.) 22%<br />and good percentages of calcium ( 8%), potassium (9%), vitamin A (10%), and iron, phophorous, magnesium, and zinc, all at 15% each.

Rooibos, cinnamon, ginger, decaffeinated black tea, cardamom, ginger, chicory, cloves, star anise and other natural flavors seem to take a back seat to the delicious peppery flavor of this tea. This tea tastes similar to a tea I first tasted in Africa, where Rooibos tea is grown.<br /><br />Best served with milk/powdered milk/soy milk or a dash of cream and some honey.

I really don't think the carmel tastes that good and would perfer a box of Cracker Jacks any day. However, the buttered and cheesy corn isn't too bad and tastes slightly better than other brands you can find in stores. You can find tins like these for a much cheaper price in almost any department or grocery store. However, it is worth the price if you know someone who not only likes popcorn, but who wants a home decoration or needs a convenient place to store things. 2003-12-05 US 51010646 RNM3VBUW7XQYM B0000CEQCA 220805995 Sesame Tahini, Raw, No Salt, Organic, 16 oz.

This creates a magical apple cider experience with hints of cranberry and hibiscus flowers gathered in an ancient land.<br /><br />Snuggle Up Spiced Cider is a good choice because you can then spoon in the exact amount you desire, but packets of cider work equally well. This is the type of tea you would expect to enjoy after skiing in some distant forest where you are also munching on homemade brownies or eggnog cookies. Apple cider also works very well with the Gypsy Teas, especially the Lemon Jasmine.<br /><br />The deep purple/red color and hibiscus fragrance of Tazo Tea is enough to make anyone passionate about tea. Yet, is this really tea? It looks like tea, but it is really an herbal infusion made by steeping hibiscus flowers, orange peel, licorice, cinnamon, rose hips, lemongrass and red poppy in a swirling of hot water.<br /><br />The original flavor is also slightly reminiscent of hot apple cider or hot cranberry juice which is why it is extra delicious with a cider mix. Tazo Teas are a mysterious experience into which you can lose yourself with a sense of abandon.

My favorite part is the lingering flavor that 'washes' down the back of your throat. I don't know of any other way to describe it. It is a truly divine experience to relax with a cup of this tea.

I love it; I have gotten my best friend \\"addicted\\" to it.<BR>It is somewhat unexpected. When I first received it it smelled of green wood. Even hot cocoa smelled of green wood, and I was puzzled. I found out that I needed to adjust my recipe for hot cocoa a bit: I used to drink it with no sugar, no vanilla, whole milk. Valrhona is so powerful and rich that even I like to have the tip of a tea spoon of sugar in it. Adding a vanilla bean is great. Great with half&half. It is not overpowered by orange extract or almond extract.<BR>Great for chocolate cookies too.<br />This cocoa is \\"dutch\\" processed, which means that it's acidity is lowered during process of obtaining the cocoa powder from the beans. This is general advice: when you read a recipe you have to make sure whether it calls for \\"regular\\" or \\"dutch\\" processed cocoa powder, otherwise it might not work.<br />Of course this cocoa is for pastry of the highest quality (...)also sold by Amazon in which you can find the most amazing recipes, but I use it to make excellent what I do everyday.<br />Enjoy! 2003-12-03 US 51803808 R7TMX8RE7BT3D B0001218XK 44566149 Milk Chocolate "Jivara" in a Tin Box - 40% Cocoa - 18 Squares Grocery 4 3 3 N N Truly unique milk chocolate I want to start out by saying that I am dark-chocolate guy.

Also, The Economist leads the news cycle. I have often read an article in The Economist and seen it recycled in The New York Times a week later, then on CNN that night, and then on the network news a few days later. Why settled for a watered-down version of The Economist's original article?<br />While The Economist is serious (no chance Madonna will ever grace it's over), it does have a humorous side and strong British wit (hence the cover with the cactus giving the finger or the decision to run an obituary of Uday and Qusay Hussein).<br />Also, while a news outlet having an agenda is nothing new, the frankness with which The Economist acknowledges its slant is rare. (While it is one of the more \\"fair and balance\\" media outlets out there, it would never make such a claim). It's pro freedom (and not in the warped post-9/11 sense): free trades, free markets, and freedom for citizens from government intervention.<br />Finally, the subscription gives you full access to The Economist's website, which contains a huge archives of articles, along with some reference material. 2003-12-02 US 36544881 RUAYQI7FRQBY B0000YQULO 241681742 Blueberries & Almonds Granola, 16 oz.

I've just "graduated" from Atkins' Phase 1 and the only problem I've had while on it is wanting chocolate. I'm not fond at all of their shakes or chocolate syrup (too chemically), though the Atkins ice cream cups are very good, if not exactly just like ice cream. But Ross low-carb chocolate... I could not believe it when I ate a bit after Thanksgiving dinner. There is finally something I can eat that doesn't hurt my diet AND satisfies my (somewhat picky) sweet tooth. No chemical taste, no aftertaste, no gritty texture. The dark chocolate bar and the orange milk chocolate bar are all I've had so far but I absolutely plan to work my way through all of them.

The result is a fantastic marriage whose combined flavor can put the taste buds into a state of euphoria (if you're not careful!). Of course, being weight conscious, eating a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is a treat for me today. In my humble opinion, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are one of the best confections ever created!

But if your pallet is discriminating and you enjoy fine, quality foods, then indulge yourself. You won't regret anything except the fact that you didn't buy more!<br />PS: Have a good white wine ready if you plan to make fondue, or a good red wine ready if you have a slice with some fruit!

An east Indian dish, Madras soup (named after the town of Madras) is a combination of tomato juice, coconut milk, shredded coconut and various spices.<br />I have been serving it hot on cold holidays and always get requests for the recipe. Getting "A Taste of Thai" sure beats cracking your own coconuts and getting the milk the hard way. No extra sweeteners are added - just the natural, subtle sweet goodness of coconut.<br />My less than perfect rating is for the lack of a warning to shake before opening and stir well before pouring. The contents settle when sitting on a shelf, so the coconut "meat" portion which is much thicker, rests on the bottom while the thinner viscosity portion pours right out. If you don't stir it well or use the entire can in your recipe, the remaining portion will not be good for much and spoils within a few days of being opened. 2003-11-26 US 37355867 R1KDLQZK5AWGNA B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 5 5 N N The ONLY News and Infomation source worth examining In this age of Left Wing dominated print media and Right Wing dominated television and radio media, it is increasingly imperative to find a source of unbiased (or at least equally biased) international news and information.

Everybody in New Orleans eats it on Mondays, from cab drivers and port workers to businesspeople and Tulane kids.<br /><br />New Orleaneans (native or adopted, displaced or otherwise) know that red beans and rice is a very subtle dish. The beans at Dunbar's, Mother's, and Ye Olde College Inn (all famous for the dish) are all different, and everybody's mother has her own recipe, too. There are many variables involved in getting it to come out just right, from the choice of meat to the number of bay leaves to add to the pot.<br /><br />The most important is in choosing beans. Red beans and rice cooked by displaced New Orleaneans elsewhere doesn't always come out as creamy as people in the city are used to--often they're thick and starchy and the beans need to be put in a blender to get anything resembling the gravy in the authentic dish. One reason for this is that Americans outside of New Orleans and the Deep South really don't eat beans, red or otherwise, and the beans sit on the shelf and toughen. The second reason is that the \\"red kidney bean\\" popular in New Orleans is not the same thing as the kidney bean used in three-bean salad or Texas chili. It's smaller, hence it cooks faster, gets creamier faster, and has a more intense color and flavor.<br /><br />Camellia beans are authentic Louisiana red beans--the small variety--and they're probably the most popular in New Orleans. They enjoy such a good reputation because they're almost invariably fresh and they produce the creamy pot of beans that, more than any other dish, reminds us of New Orleans. 2003-11-25 US 26452049 R2GXTM2NCXV1FT B0000YQULY 546675535 Cherries & Cashews Granola, 16 oz.

To begin with, it comes with a catalog from A. G. Ferrari Foods which tells you that's it's been aged for \\"at least 12 years,\\" NOT 20 YEARS as stated above. Whoops, a bad omen. The next bad omen is this: Nowhere on the box or the bottle does it actually have the name \\"Affinato\\" or the real age. It does say Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale, but at this price, I like the label on the product to tell me that it is what I thought I ordered. And I like to know that they keep track of their aging process better than my wife does (we're celebrating her 39th birthday for the 10th time). <br />Bad omen number three: When you swirl it around in the bottle, it does coat the inside of the glass briefly - but it is NOT as thick as syrup. Now, one of the selling points for aceto balsamico that has been awarded the \\"Tradizionale\\" designation is that \\"the real stuff,\\" as Ferrari's catalog calls it, is as thick as syrup and a few luxurious (Ferrari's adjective is \\"voluptuous\\") drops on a slice of Parmigiano Reggiano will give your palate intense pleasure. Hmmm. Well, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting. Let's open it. <br />My wife and I tried it on the finest Parmigiano Reggiano that money can buy and the most perfect strawberries we could find. Conclusion: The \\"Affinato\\" vinegar is sweet-and-sour but not exceptionally complex, and it more or less detracts from the natural taste of a plain strawberry. On quality Parmesan cheese it is better - but again, we decided we'd rather enjoy the perfection of the Reggiano cheese on its own. I do think it would go very well with avocado, but we didn't have one handy. <br />Complexity is the point. Aceto balsamico becomes complex when it is moved from one kind of barrel to another during the aging process. It spends a few years in oak barrels, then moves on to another kind of wood (they never tell you exactly what) and so on. From each type of wood it's supposed to pick up subtle nuances of flavor. It's like winemaking, where for example aging a chardonnay in French oak barrels makes it lose some of its chalky-tasting tannic acid and absorb some of the vanillin that occurs naturally in the wood. That added vanilla taste gives us what we call an \\"oaky\\" chardonnay. Alas, the \\"Affinato\\" vinegar is not oaky, not mysteriously subtle, it's just a very good sweet-and-sour vinegar. <br />They also say you can sip it. Fair warning: if you do that, the fumes go up your nose and it makes you cough. Hey, it's still vinegar. The best use of the \\"Affinato\\" is to make an oil-and-vinegar salad dressing with extra virgin olive oil and a kiss of garlic, and in that application it makes a truly outstanding dressing. Lip-smacking. <br />My wife and I have been using \\"balsamic vinegar\\" that's in the $20 - $25 range for many years. We looked forward with great anticipation to this step-up to a true \\"Tradizionale\\" aceto balsamico at 3 times the price. The Tradizionale designation is the equivalent of the "Premier Grand Cru" designation that's awarded to top Bordeaux wines - like Chateau Lafite Rothchild or Chateau Haut Brion - and we were expecting something on that level, where every sip gives you subtle new surprises in flavor. We didn't get it. <br />One more thing. Though neither the Ferrari catalog nor the product description above tells you how much you're getting in a bottle of Affinato, it's 100 milliliters (3 fluid ounces). As for product information, even if you can read Italian, the type font on the label is so small that it literally takes a magnifying glass to read it. <br />Let me add that I write this negative review reluctantly. I am one of Amazon.com's greatest fans. I greatly value Amazon's unique democracy of customer reviews and spend at least a couple thousand dollars a year on Amazon.com. I've contributed positive, five-star reviews ofbooks and CDs that are really special. This negative review does not in the least weaken my faith in Amazon, but in this case the product discription is misleading. <br />Who knows, maybe you'd be better off spending your hard-earned money on Ferrari's $150 Extra Vecchio (\\"Extra Age\\") balsamic, which the catalog states is \\"aged for at least 25 years\\" (not 30 years as stated above). As for me, I can't afford the experiment. And so far, what I've tasted from the Merchants of Modena has not lived up to the legend or the hype. 2003-11-23 US 31191652 R2YU63Q9PL4LCC B0000DG5G3 601245427 Popcorn Seasoning Gift Set, 6 pc Grocery 5 0 0 N N Yum-yum-yum!

Its texture is closer to that of full-fat cheddar by far; none of that rubbery feel here. The flavor is distinctly cheddar, not as sharp as the best full-fat extra sharp cheddars, but it definitely has a presence and stands up to mustard (other lite cheddars tend to taste like American cheese). We use this for nachos, cheese omelets, and grilled cheese sandwiches. It melts with grace. It is good to eat straight, as I've learned when I get it out to shred--people show up and carve off slices, never complaining that it is "lite." I do recommend sharing the 10-pound loaf with friends if you have a small household--after a month or so, an opened package, even one that has been carefully wrapped, may suffer some mold. 2003-11-19 US 51236198 RDDC7YIWEAUQC B0000D17Y8 464183714 Golden Peach 100% Fruit Grocery 5 4 4 N N The best preserves ever!

As with most sugar free products they taste great if you have not been eating sugar, but taste a little off if you switch straight from eating full sugar/fat desserts. The cake mixes only require water to make. The first lemon flavored Sweet `N Low cake I made was adequate but did not have any fresh tart lemon flavor. The next time I tried using half lemon juice and half water and something very strange happened to the texture, it felt like a sponge. Not a sponge cake but a dish sponge. I keep trying to find the right amount of lemon juice to add and have not hit on it yet. If you do not mind a mild and slightly artificial lemon flavor, than this is a great product. For first time users I wish that the product description here specified that these mixes make a single thin eight-inch layer.

In fact, it's become a staple in our house and a regular at mealtimes.<br />Sun dried tomatoes tend to have more "tang" than other tomatoes and this pesto will certainly give your crostini added spiciness. Don't get me wrong, you don't have to use this pesto on crostini alone. That's just our favorite way of using it. It would be great on pasta, too.<br />If you love tomatoes, especially sun dried tomatoes, I don't think you can go wrong with this pesto.

As with most sugar free products they taste great if you have not been eating sugar, but taste a little off if you switch straight from eating full sugar/fat desserts. The cake mixes only require water to make. A teaspoon of real vanilla or almond extract improves the flavor. I like to make the chocolate cake with iced coffee. Then rather than use sugar free frosting (ugggh!) I sprinkle the top with either unsweetened cocoa or with chopped coffee beans. The bitterness of the cocoa and the coffee beans enhances the sweetness of the cake. These mixes make a very thin eight-inch layer.

Grocery 5 24 27 N N 100% Kona - not easy to find! Many coffee brands that advertise their beans as "Kona" are blends, containing only ten percent beans from the highly desirable region, but these Aloha Island Gold beans are pure Kona, all from plants grown on the Big Island in the designated microclimate that produces some of the smoothest coffee beans in the world. While the Aloha brand may not be Hawaii's best, it is certainly one of the more available brands on the mainland. Store in the freezer to maintain optimal freshness, and grind the beans immediately before brewing.<br />For coffee connoisseurs, two phrases light up their eyes, "Jamaican Blue Mountain" and "Kona."

As much as my family and I love cheese from Italy and Spain, we love French cheese more. France is a country that produces more than 100 cheeses, so it must have been difficult to choose only four for this assortment, but in my opinion, four of the very best were chosen.<br />We are all watching our weight at my house, so we eat a lot of salads. While cheese is definitely not a "diet food," a little in a salad goes a long way, especially when you're using Buche Chevre. My children love it on crackers as well.<br />My wife and I reserved the chaource and the epoisses for a "wine and cheese" party, but believe me, they are so wonderful and so special, you'll be tempted to eat them anytime, party or not.<br />The Gruyère de Comté is just so special I can't really find words to describe it. It's rich. It's creamy. It's delectable. We often eat it as a dessert cheese. Yes, it's really that good!<br />If you're looking for a special gift, you can't go wrong with this French Cheese Assortment.

I could make a meal on them, but I try to behave and save some for my guests.<br />These oysters are an elegant food, not meant for everyday. Just knowing they're on the menu helps to put me in a festive, party mood. Many of our guests have told us that one of the things they love most about our dinner parties are the oyster appetizers.<br />If you've never served oysters as an appetizer to an elegant meal before, you can't go wrong with these.

We recently received this cheese assortment as a gift and we really loved all of them.<br />Our favorite cheese in this group was definitely the Manchego. It was decadently rich and creamy and the flavor transported me back to the days when I was a student, hitchhiking my way across Europe.<br />Neither my wife nor I had ever had the Mahon Reserva, but we really liked it. It's sharp and tangy, so we ate it in much smaller portions than the Manchego. We had never had the Idiazabal, either, and I have to say this smoky cheese has become one of our family's favorite, rivaling even the Manchego. It's perfect for cooler weather or to nibble on with an apple, a loaf of crusty bread and a glass of full-bodied Rioja.<br />The Murcia al Vino was divine. This is a special cheese and one that we love sharing with friends. All of the cheeses in this Spanish Cheese Assortment make a wonderful gift for yourself or for the cheese lovers in your life. 2003-11-16 US 50258510 R1HOFX4LI6ULQG B0000DCXFW 102209939 Natural Basil Pesto from Genova (Pesto Genovese) Grocery 5 2 4 N N My Favorite Pesto Pesto Genovese is, without a doubt, my favorite pesto. My family and I eat it on capelli d'angeli at least once every week. We add a salad and a loaf of crusty Italian bread and the meal is simple but delicious beyond compare.<br />This brand of Pesto Genovese is one of my alltime favorites. So many times, Peste Genovese can be too oily, covering up the taste of the basil and the pine nuts. Not so with this pesto. Every ingredient seems to be perfectly balanced so you get the freshest, most flavorful Pesto Genovese available. The taste of the basil and the pine nuts is delicate, but so exquisite.<br />If you like Pesto Genovese or just want a change from more "traditional" tomato sauces, I urge you to give this pesto a try. I don't think you can go wrong. 2003-11-16 US 50258510 R1CLOSZBZ15TEI B0000D9N7U 102193092 Set of Fondue Cheeses (30 ounce) Grocery 5 29 29 N N Try It! If you've never had real Swiss fondue, you're really missing something special. My only regret is that I live in an area that usually doesn't get cold enough to really enjoy fondue to its fullest. To compensate (and because we love winter), my wife and I often go to the mountains where it does snow and when we do, one of the first things we enjoy is Swiss fondue.<br />I've found that the cheeses in this assortment make a wonderful and very authentic Swiss fondue. Just be sure to have a loaf of crusty French bread handy as well as white wine and kirsch. And don't skimp on the kirsch; it really makes the fondue special.<br />My family and I have found that fondue is best served the traditional Swiss way...as a main course. It's just too filling for an appetizer and just so good you want to eat your fill! There's nothing quite as relaxing as a good fondue on a cold winter's night. This cheese assortment is the first really authentic fondue assortment I've found since my days of backpacking and hitchhiking around Europe.<br />I really can't praise this cheese assortment highly enough. You really have to make a fondue yourself and taste how good it is to believe it. Try it! Please! Once you do, you'll become an addict! 2003-11-16 US 44842625 RF057Q7WGZ468 B0000E5JV4 801946381 Savoie's Crawfish & Crab Pie Grocery 5 3 3 N N A real Cajun treat! This pie is delicious.

I gave it to my father for his birthday because the packaging was just so beautiful, but when he shared it with me, I couldn't stop eating it!<br />I'm happy to say that this Christmas will be very easy to buy presents, because I'm going to buy this smoked salmon for everyone in my family.

Grocery 5 1 1 N N Something good and crunchy for snacking I'm a big fan of rice crackers in general. I like the thin, crisp texture of them and the snappy crunch when you eat them. This flavor is very good with a great balance of saltiness to perk it up.<br />Alot of crackers are quite bland in flavor and while they may be flaky in the sense of baked products do not have the crispy mouth feel of these. I love these added to a cheese platter (with milder, less sharp cheeses). These also are good added to a home made party mix recipe(once you are done with the baking and seasoning of the party mix...these don't need the baking of flavoring).<br />These arent the kind of crackers I reach for when I want to add crackers to soup or just want to eat mindlessly in front of the TV (due to cost) but I love these as part of an hors d'ourve, light lunch or small snack. I love their punchy adult taste and crunchy texture. 2003-11-15 US 50413926 R2E8372JSWXS8L B0000DK44G 433210519 Dodoni Greek Feta - 1 KG Chunk Grocery 5 2 2 N N Absolutely the best Feta! This particular feta comes from northern Greece, specifically the Epirus region. It is not hard like the horrible american cow's milk type of feta, instead coming across as creamy and slightly soft. As a chef and a Greek, it's the only feta that I buy. Use it in salads, cheese pies or even by itself with a little bread and olive oil. Amazon needs to correct the name of it though. It's Dodoni, not Dodino. 2003-11-14 US 52140711 R2MJ716CH2P14W B0000DHHU5 288014273 Habanero Heat Grocery 5 1 1 N N As a hot food lover I love hot food. I'm also a big beef jerky fan.

Multiply that by this 6 box bundle and you get $27.00. So what am I paying the extra 2 bucks for, not the dispenser--which is just a cardboard-like box the tea comes! You've got to be kidding me.

Over the past six months I have been trying out different sugar free and no-sugar added cookies, candies etc. A few months back, from a local discount store, I bought and tried Joseph's cookies (including these coconut ones) and they were wonderful! Alas, when I went back to buy some more the store no longer had any. I have searched my three more popular nearby grocery stores but none carry Joseph's (I shall be asking them to do so!)

Tasty and pretty addictive, which is why I bought it in this quantity. Check out the Ginger People web site for recipes and info about their products.<br />One thing to be careful of -- I'm told that these types of candies will go somewhat stale after about a month unless stored in an airtight container. When you buy the 5kg, it comes in one giant bag in a box, so after you get it you should divide it in individual baggies so that you can save the rest for later. Or share the candy with lots of friends (or just eat it all yourself within a month. ;-) Repackaged, it should stay fresh for up to a year. 2003-11-13 US 52927360 RJGAODCFT5RR2 B0000D9N7P 621265075 igourmet Sbrinz AOC by Rolf Beeler (7.5 ounce) Grocery 5 3 3 N Y Finally I found you My favorite of all swiss cheeses.

It is made from 100% superior Arabica coffee beans, electronically sorted to insure that only the best are chosen. Roasted perfectly and air-cooled, ground and packed into precisely measured pods. Then sealed in a pressurized, modified atmosphere to enhance the aroma and insure freshness. The ESPRESSIONE single-serve espresso pods are designed to drop into your home espresso machine one at a time. There's no mess and no fuss. Just be sure to use an E.S.E compatible espresso machine. <br />It's like having the aroma and taste of Italy in the privacy of your own home.

Here in Texas we sometimes like fire coming out of our ears, but Big Acres is a lot more polite to their dinner guests. So if you are more rowdy than reserved, you might want to throw in some jalapeno on this one. Why not add some zip to their Hot @ Spicy sauce instead? Well, that'd be like gilding the lily, frankly. And I LOVE the maple syrup/dark molasses flavor of this one, with the zip of jalapeno added for "bite."<br />The best thing about using it straight is that it's not only a good marinade (three or four hours is great, overnight is Special), but you can also use it as a brush-on sauce during cooking. It doesn't overpower the flavor of your barbecue, whether fish, pork, chicken, or beef.<br />Big Acres' Web site has lots of recipes -- try those, too.

I picked up a sample pack of all the Big Acres' flavors last year, and they're all good, but I am Stuck on the teriyaki. It is especially great with fish. I've never really liked any of my efforts at grilled fish before, but with Big Acres Teriyaki it's no problem at all to wow your dinner guests. It's also great just for dipping (warm it in the oven first). My favorite thing to do is jerked pork or beef, grilled in a cast-iron skillet, and served in a simmering quarter-cup of teriyaki. Stab 'em on toothpicks or party picks and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Yee-ha!<br />It's all natural, with zero preservatives -- but don't worry about how it "keeps" ... there won't be any left over! 2003-11-09 US 38246048 R12RV1F8MA1FZZ B0000E5JKV 649400680 Zatarain's Black Eye Pea with Rice Mix Grocery 5 1 1 N N Jumpin' Jehosephat... it's HOPPIN' JOHN!!! This is an easy, and very versatile, sidedish that goes great with beef & chicken, and pork. I discovered this product when I lived in Georgia, and introduced it to my hubby. We loved it so much that we probably ate it at least once a week because it's easy to prep, inexpensive, and tasty. My favorite (and most simple recipe) for it is to brown some ground beef, cook the Hoppin' John as directed, and then fold in the beef. Instant main dish. In the winter we would take that simple dish, add two cups of Knorr beef boullion broth, and we had a hearty soup. Of course, the product is great simply as a side dish for pork chops, pork roast, baked or fried chicken... whatever! Since we moved to Nevada, we have not been able to locate this particular item among the Zatarain's offerings on the grocer's shelves. I am thrilled to know that it is now only a few clicks away from being in my pantry on a regular basis once again. 2003-11-09 US 50476614 RLKK27WF6O7H3 B0000DHZNZ 527707145 Tea, Creme Caramel, Decaf, 18 ct.

In California, the lines to buy chocolate can snake out the door. I've had See's Candies many times, most recently this assortment, and while See's makes an excellent product, the chocolate coating could be richer in flavor. Still, these confections are above average; they easily outclass ordinary brands such as Russell Stover and Whitman's with fresher and more flavorful fillings.<br />Anyone receiving a box of See's Candies for a gift knows that an extra effort has been made. Although they aren't the best I've had, they certainly rank up there with the finest chocolate assortments available in a box. 2003-11-08 US 36247714 R1W3E2F4QS11XI B0000VG5BC 411319110 Pop Rocks Strawberry Watermelon Combo [36CT Box] Grocery 5 4 7 N N Great Candy I haven't seen these as much lately as I did when I was younger, but they are still out there.

This Belgian chocolate adds much better flavor to baked goods and specialty desserts than does the average chocolate found in the grocery store. I highly recommend it for serious bakers and those who want their desserts to stand out.<br />Bittersweet chocolate is not to be confused with unsweetened; it is a dark chocolate without an overly sweet taste. Special occasion cakes and pastries often use bittersweet to give an intense chocolate flavor without overwhelming the palate. 2003-11-08 US 50380074 R1MDO0KSYTVOON B0000TU8VM 484332785 Peppadew Peppers (14 Ounce) Grocery 5 7 8 N N Unique and delicious A piquant, sweet, colorful treat.

A Japanese-American friend of mine introduced me to Pocky a couple of years ago, and I ate two full boxes at that first sitting. These Almond Crush Pocky are even better than the original chocolate, in my opinion.<br />For anyone unfamiliar with Pocky, they're basically sweet "bread" sticks dipped in chocolate or other flavor icings. It doesn't sound nearly as good as it tastes, though. They aren't overly sweet, but they give you a wonderful feeling of decadence. The Almond Crush Pocky has a light coffee flavor to the icing, and it has -- you guessed it -- crunchy bits of almond mixed into the icing. The combination of textures is very satisfying. Try these with tea in the afternoon, alone as a light dessert, with ice cream, or just as a not-so-very-bad-for-you snack.

I was looking for some chocolate that I could enjoy on the Atkins diet since I'm a chocoholic.

When it arrived the first one I tried was the "Almond" bar, and with my first bite my mouth exploded in pure delight, and my eyes opened as wide as saucers!

It is excellent iced cold and I prefer it without ice as it has a light flavor. The texture is more like that of a juice and sparkling water than that of a commerically produced soda. There are no artificial tastes with this product.<br />The flavor is more on the tart side of the orange spectrum with the hint of tangerine for pizazz...

The noodles are thicker than most ramen noodles (somewhere in between traditional ramen and udon noodles) and have more substance. The soup base is salty and very spicy - keep in mind that the less water you add, the spicier it gets. <br />It is very delicious alone or with some added goodies like an egg (crack it in with the soup base when the water is boiling), sliced ham and veggies. <br />Just make sure you have a large cup of cold water nearby, since the noodles will be both spicy and hot. 2003-10-31 US 47968674 R2G8HWJ1NEL1A9 B0000D17J6 976105453 Bowl Noodle Soup - Hot and Spicy Grocery 4 2 2 N N college dorm necessity "Bowl noodle soup" is instant noodles (ramen) that come in a styrofoam bowl (kind of like the cup-o-noodles that are sold in grocery stores). It stores easily and super-convenient to prepare. All you have to do is add a cup of hot water (or put it all in the microwave for a minute with some cold water) and wait a few minutes for the noodles and reconstituted vegetables to cook up.<br />This particular brand is supposed to be spicy, especially since it is kimchi-flavored. For those not familiar with Korean food, kimchi is the spicy pickled cabbage that is an absolute staple on the Korean peninsula. <br />I'm not sure how this particular item made it onto the gourmet list (perhaps simply because it's foreign?). Nevertheless, it's a decent meal when you have nothing else in the house and don't feel like cooking. The spicy soup also feels really great when you have a hangover. For these two reasons, they are especially popular with college guys - I remember that back in college, some of my male friends would have a whole box of it stored under their beds...<br />Anyway, if you like noodles and also like spicy-hot dishes, I think it's definitely worth trying. 2003-10-31 US 47968674 R1CIKZJ7TA4ZNK B0000C69FC 772569816 TZO149899 - Tazo Tea Bags Earl Grey Grocery 5 4 5 N N Best part of waking up...

This is quite different from most instant noodles out there - you get noodles with a nice sauce instead of a soup.

You have to first boil the noodles, and then drain some of the water before you add the packets of veggies, sauce, and oil and boil the water down into the Chapaghetti sauce<br />It's a great instant meal but I've found that you have to try it a few times before you get the sauce thickness to your liking (not enough water and it's too dry; too much and it's too watery). 2003-10-31 US 47968674 R1X6GYSX8UG1G5 B0000SY9U4 320529562 The Extraordinary Artisan Handcrafted Organic Coffees of Aloha Island Grocery 5 24 24 N N Yummy If you've never tried Kona coffee, Aloha Island is definitely the one to start with. <br />Kona coffee is grown in the Kona district of the Big Island and regarded by some to be the best coffee in the world.

Which just means that you're guaranteed to get quality Kona coffee if you order from them. <br />Keep in mind that Aloha Island has three grades of Kona coffee that they sell - gold, platinum, and diamond (which is supposed to be their private reserve).

This magazine, which originated in England, mixes together eye- catching economic statistics, important world news, and volatile political situations into one complete magazine.<br />Unlike other news magazines, The Economist is very thorough and very analytical. Instead of just rambling on about an issue and talking in superficial ways, the Economist presents the hard facts. And to help readers get a better understanding, many of these facts are backed up with graphs, tables, and charts throughout the magazine. Since I am interested in the subject of economics and I have studied it extensively in school, I particularly like these graphics and tables. They really help to drive the point home.<br />There's only one bad aspect I can think of with this magazine: the high price. The cover price is $4.95 and a subscription for a year costs more than $100. This is more than double the price of other news magazines, and the cost alone will likely deter many potential readers from giving this magazine a look. I think is's worth the extra cost to get something that's higher in quality, but others will disagree.<br />The Economist, in a nutshell, is a very serious, very intelligent magazine intended for those who want a little more substance and who prefer reading the facts. It's an informative read; educating and fascinating in its coverage of world leaders, world events, and economic changes on a global scale. 2003-10-02 US 52249118 R2K5I2PMDNNEQ B0000A0BS5 116070868 Starbucks Espresso Roast Dark Roast Ground Coffee, 12-Ounce Bag Grocery 2 83 100 N N Not actually for use in espresso machines Few things I'd like to point out:<br />1. "Espresso" is not a roast. It's a drink. In northern Italy they make espresso from Vienna roast, in southern Italy they use French. Starbucks appears to be using French roast, so they should just label it French roast like any normal person would.<br />2. The product description says "Taste Espresso Roast as both a shot of espresso and brewed in a coffee press. This is one versatile coffee!" This is patently absurd. It's pre-ground coffee, and it's either for use in espresso machines or presses, but not both. Here's why:<br />Making a shot of espresso requires a very fine grind. Making coffee press coffee requires a very course grind. If you have ground coffee that is appropriate for espresso machines, it will pass through the filter in a coffee press and you will have a cup of sludge. If you use ground coffee that does not pass through a press's filter in an espresso machine, you do not get espresso. You get cafe crema, which is a good, but entirely different, beverage.<br />Therefore, a "Universal Grind" is an impossibility. They should tell you on the label what kind of coffee maker it's ground for, like normal people.<br />3. It's over-roasted. Starbucks has an excellent bean-sourcing operation that buys better coffee than any other company of its size. Then they roast all their beans Vienna or French. Most beans taste best at a particular level of roasting that varies with the bean, and for most beans that level is not Vienna or French. So why roast all your beans too dark? I guess it's just easier that way. Also, it lets them rename Vienna Roast as "Starbucks Roast" because the Austrians don't seem to care.<br />That said, this is still better than what you get in the supermarket - Starbucks specializes in coffee and sources much better beans than any of the companies that also make cheese, hot dogs, shampoo or cigarettes.<br />Anyway, if you really want somegood coffee, do this:<br />Buy a grinder. Nothing makes coffee lose flavor like keeping it around after grinding. If you have a drip coffee machine, get a grinder with spinning blades; if you have something else like a press or vacuum pot, get a grinder with burrs. If you have an espresso machine, get a very nice grinder with burrs. Amazon has good deals on all three kinds, just do a search for 'coffee grinder'. It's not that much money, and if you're somebody who's willing to pay for Starbucks you should invest in one.<br />Find a local coffee shop that roasts their own coffee and gives you the date it's roasted on. Freshness matters! Good beans don't taste nearly as good after they've been sitting around.<br />Ask the people at your local shop to tell you about the correct amount of beans to use. Most people don't use the right amount. If you don't use enough, your coffee comes out bitter, especially if you have a drip machine. Not enough coffee means the beans you do have get too much exposure to hot water, which makes bitter coffee. 2003-09-25 US 52892135 R27Y08ER5ZWRI2 B00005IX97 513634569 Espressione Classic Coffee Pods, Box of 150 Grocery 5 6 6 N Y Great pods if you make the right choice and can wait The Arabica pods provide great, full flavored true espresso in my Briel machine. Be careful what you order, however, as the "default" pods that turn up when I search on Amazon are the regular, not the Arabica. The regular (all red package) is much less appealing in its flavors, with more of the cereal component that comes with Robusta beans. The Arabica (black package with red icon) is the one to get.<br />Also, both times I have ordered this product I have had to wait several weeks for it to arrive, which has never happened with any other product I have purchased from Amazon. 2003-09-23 US 52155017 RV3904G4992C7 B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 9 11 N N Subscribe it from American college service Only $77 if you are in college, grad school, etc... best deal for the most influential magazine.

In a single magazine, some 35 or 40 countries may be reviewed, with intriguing insights, commentary, and analysis that provokes, insights, and sometimes creates heated debate.<br />I'll admit that sometimes I am surprised by the opinion pieces that The Economist magazine publishes. For instance, The Economist magazine takes the editorial position that makes it one of the most popular libertarian journals around -- they support free-markets, but yet they appear skeptical of President Bush's tax cuts that make our economy even more free.<br />All the articles are unsigned. I once asked my professor why this is. Amazingly, she had no answer. So I did research on this topic and I learned that the main reason is that The Economist thinks of itself as an organization, where each member sees to it that the organization succeeds. Thus, some articles have multiple people assisting in the writing and editing. And that solves the big secret -- how are the articles constructed by this special force known as "anonymous."<br />My favorite section is Lexington, which The Economist magazine uses to highlight the person of the week they wish to focus on. Now, if you read Time or Newsweek to learn about a specific person, you often will learn very superficial information about them. But with The Economist, the information provides scintillating facts and analysis. Often the article will present both sides to information relating to the person with equal vigor, but at the end will issue The Economist's true position. A remarkable magazine and well worth the money. 2003-09-13 US 52964091 R7U50IX6KAXI6 B0000CH3A2 413228818 See's Candies 1 lb. Almond Royal(r) by See's Candies Grocery 5 1 2 N N Love it!

We try to tell the world about the world, to persuade the expert and reach the amateur, with an injection of opinion and argument.\\"<br />The Economist is written in lively, concise, and often humorous language; it discusses international politics, business, finance, science and technology, and has book reviews and an obituary. Alone, the breadth of topics it covers (and the brevity in which it does so) is enough to set it apart from other newspapers. <br />But The Economist stands out because it refuses to conform to the standards of the industry: it is anonymous (\\"The main reason for anonymity ... is a belief that what is written is more important than who writes it.\\"); it manages to surprise even its dedicated readers; and, it is factual, opinionated and appeals to the highest common denominator, tackling complex and controversial topics. <br />In the end, though, The Economist has a different selling point: newspapers live by the \\"if it bleeds, it leads\\" rule; The Economist, however, emphasizes the ways in which our lives are becoming better and suggests ways to improve them further. It is this injection of well grounded idealism, rather than an exposure to tragedy, that makes The Economist unique and a pleasure to read. 2003-09-03 US 51038303 R1IC8MIKBS5JMF B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 6 7 N N The best journalism in the English language I've read \\"The Economist\\" on & off for at least 25 years, since my early teens, when I used to snag my father's copies. At my British high school, it was offered at a discounted rate, presumably because it was (rightly) considered such a valuable educational tool. My understanding of current events has been shaped more by \\"The Economist\\" than any other media source -- the newspaper (as it calls itself) is an education. It does what the best journalism should: educates, informs, entertains, provokes. ... The newspaper has a point of view when discussing ideas. Americans (often told that journalists are unbiased) may find this unfamiliar. In my opinion, the British media (\\"The Economist\\" is British) is more honest than the media in the U.S. in that there is no pretense that journalists lack all personal biases. Readers understand that reporters have clear biases reflected in their stories, & they are able to make up their own minds. This seems fundamentally more honest, easier all round & simpler than the fiction of pure objectivity, which the older I get increasingly seems to me humanly impossible. ... \\"The Economist,\\" however, isn't wedded to political parties. It's quite capable of soundly trashing Republicans & praising Democrats & vice versa, issue to issue. ... That most of the copy is written anonymously has always seemed to me a huge advantage, if hard on reporters' egos. The result is the feeling of reading a newspaper with its own point of view, something so tightly edited it feels like it might all have been written by one person, if one person could cover so much. This is a strength, because it gives the newspaper a distinctive style. ... The writing is outstanding. The reporting is outstanding. The breadth is outstanding. ... Among all the noise out there, I really only need one news source to be well-informed on the most important news, and that's \\"The Economist.\\" Great value for money.

They have reporters based in countries around the world who report on economics, politics, culture, society, and everything else. They offer a perspective on international news not easily available in the American press. This is the only readily available source where you can read about usually-ignored countries, from Uganda to Tahiti. It provides opinion pieces too (i.e. Lexington), which are wonderfully written and erudite. All articles are written anonymously by field reporters, putting the focus on the reporting and not the personality. <br />The Economist does assume you know something about the issues, as most of the articles are short and don't provide much background. But as you continue to read issue after issue, it becomes easier to keep up. It is a dense magazine, and not one to be flipped through, like Time or Newsweek; it instead requires time and effort, but rewards with depth and breadth of knowledge. <br />The Economist does have an agenda: it promotes free-trade and democracy (the libertarian form). It supported George W. Bush in 2000. However, as a voting Democrat, I can still attest that is refreshing to read a magazine that is not afraid to have an opinion, whether you agree with it or not. <br />Summary: Bar-none, the best and smartest newsmagazine available. 2003-08-12 US 47790850 R3QBAI4B8FP80I B00005IX96 513634569 Espressione Classic Coffee Pods, Box of 150 Grocery 4 1 2 N N Good quality and Flavor.

This is how a friend of mine once described The Economist. This is a newsmagazine par excellence; it is head and shoulders above the rest, and claims (which great justification) to be the newsreporter of the world.<br />'Since its founding by James Wilson in 1843, The Economist has been the world's most enduring and distinguished proponent of free markest and free trade. 'To be sensible without being heavy, to be lively without being silly, to be original without being eccentric,' as editor Geoffrey Gowther stated 50 years ago, has steadfastly been its mission.'<br />This magazine is read by the powerful and the power-hope-fuls in every capital in the world. The Economist prides itself on being one edition, consistent in publication throughout the world; it will not succumb to the temptation of 'regional' editions, which might boost sales but lessen the 'one news source for the world'; it also will not do so, that it may tell those governments which threaten it (hoping for a censoring ability) that they must take it or leave it--when various nations have banned The Economist from their shores, it becomes a hot commodity for smugglers!<br />Until it recently went to regional publications, only once did The Economist make a change; the paper is released on Friday mornings in London, but is already put to print and shipped out for the rest of the world prior to this release. When Margaret Thatcher resigned, the world copies had been issued, but the British printing hadn't been completed. So, they changed the leader. The following week, however, in great integrity, they owned up to the switch, and printed in its entirety the texts of the changed bits.<br />One source for the world.<br />In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the magazine, a special book entitled 'The Pursuit of Reason' was released, which includes an exhaustive survey of the history of the magazine, including some very notable contributors (such as English Constitutional commentator Walter Bagehot, whose name still graces the weekly British political commentary). This was a difficult task of reconstruction, considering that the archives of The Economist prior to the 1940s had been destroyed in the London Blitz.<br />The Economist has a rule of anonymity among authors -- you will find few by-lines on opinions and leaders, and rarely among stories. This helps maintains a sense of 'one voice' for the magazine.<br />This is a publication with power and clout. The Economist first coined the term 'privatisation' to describe the process of putting a nationalised industry back in private property ownership; the newsmagazine's way of saying this was, however, [a term] 'to describe the returning to profitable private motivation of anything that had declined through unprofitable state intervention--in Europe usually through state ownership, in America usually through excessive regulation.'<br />When it began 160 years ago, The Economist had a circulation and readership of a little under 2000; now it has nearly a million, with over 80% outside of Britain. This has caused some changes in the magazine. When I worked in Parliament, it was part of my required duties to go to the newsagent each Friday morning and collect copies of the magazine, and spend the morning with one or two MPs reading over the articles. At that time, the sections on Britain and Europe were much more extensive than they are now. The newsmagazine covers America, Asia, Africa, Finance, Industry, Business; it almost always has a special section supplement on an idea (the internet), a particular country (the country reports are required reading for potential investors and diplomats alike), or some such topic.<br />The Economist has a moderate-conservative social stances, a free-market business and economy bias, and a common sense approach to most issues. It strives to steer clear of social commentary, save when it is of such great import that it is likely to impact on politics or economics. The Economist features short sections for book reviews, science articles, etc., and these are often creative and a little less reigned in by the conventional writers' required standards. But The Economist has maintained a non-affiliation with party politics, rare among British journalists.<br />'The Economist's radicalism and genuine absence of party loyalty lead to much misunderstanding of its position [of wanting a Conservative victory in 1992, under the banner of 'May the Worst Lot Lose'] particularly because of the often arrogant nature of its criticism and its gift for the wounding phrase. The British press in general is so partisan and so predictable that the concept of an independent organ is a difficult one to grasp.'<br />The Economist indeed can be haughty and condescending, scathing and arrogant. But, as the opinions will tell you, they have a right to be. They are usually right. This, of course, is the same attitude of Empire that built the Pax Britannia and free trade as a model that survives to this day. Perhaps a little arrogance is not unwarranted, as The Economist has served as the principal organ of record for the free market for 160 years, and shows no signs of slowing.features short sections for book reviews, science articles, etc., and these are often creative and a little less reigned in by the conventional writers' required standards.

I first started reading The Economist 2 years ago, right after the september 11 attacks. I was attracted to its dramatic cover picture of ground zero, supported by a visionary title: \\"The day the world changed\\". I never missed any issue since then, more and more attracted by the depth of its coverage, the clearness of its analysis, the diversity of topics discussed, and the strange yet appealing mixture of dryness with sense of humour. The newspaper (as it likes to call itself) simply has a sex appeal; Unfortunately, in the recent iraq war, something strange happened to The Economist. It suddenly lost objectivity (in that particular topic) and became very annoying. Don't get me wrong, it has always been provocative (in a good way,) but in iraq, their coverage was becoming ridiculous. It suddenly became preacher in chief for the war, (although i conceed that it did put the most extreme opposition opinions in its letters section), and got transformed suddenly from internationalists to promoters of british interests, complete with sneering at France (they have never admired france anyway). All that has cost them the fifth star that they strongly used to deserve, i hope the economist will revert to its missed self. 2003-06-02 US 33252821 R3JOLB1ZO3YNVT B00005IX98 513634569 Espressione Classic Coffee Pods, Box of 150 Grocery 5 11 12 N Y Good coffee / Good espresso Though the \\"best used by date\\" is Nov '03 for the decaf, I am sure the pods will be used up well before then. The coffee taste compares well to the much more expensive (read almost twice as expensive)Illy pods, with a much more pleasing aroma and taste - more nut like - while the Illy has a more traditional espresso dark roast flavor (read burnt - which I am not as fond of, as there is a fine line between dark roasting and ending up burning the beans). The pods produce a nice crema, equal to the Illy. Most of the pods will be used to produce \\"crema coffe\\" and the flavor stands up well to sugar, flavored syrups, and steamed milk. (Crema coffee: Put sweetner in the bottom of your warmed empty cup / mug. Then brew into the cup mug: a double shot 3~4 oz - I brew each shot 25 seconds to draw out the most flavor, aroma. Add 3~4 oz 170 to 180 degree hot water, 3~4 oz steamed milk, and \\"cap\\" with Frothed milk or whipped cream. <BR>I am extremely dissapointed, as of this writing (Late May, 2003) the decaf pods are the only available - been watching the Arabica pods for some time now - \\"coming in soon\\" has been the mantra for the last month. I hope this coffee doesn't disappear, like so many other great offerings here at Amazon - will have to wait and see...<BR>As to the one poor review I have seen here - I suspect the individual who submitted the poor rating does not have his machine set up for pods - different brew head, screen, and brew cup from what is used with ground coffee. If you do not know if there is a brew head for pods available for you machine, contact your dealer / manufacturer - the set up generally runs between thirty and fifty dollars. Although ground coffees can produce a superior cup of espresso - the convenience and the consitency of the brewed cup from pods far outweighs sometimes superior ground / brewed espresso.

Actually, what you may find about the conflict on iraq is not different from what you see in the sensasionalist media like fox-news or the national review for example, but at least in these last ones the opinions have signature.

Wrigley's really on to something with this chemical concoction, a testimony to the market-driven forces of progress. After going through a box in a couple of days, I bought ten shares of the company to give to my son (better than giving him ten cartons of the gum). At a buck a box, it's a steep price (compared to the twenty-five cent packs), but in exchange you're getting a true designer-label product, the Perrier of chewing gums. The package is more like an elegant "case," emitting a redolent aroma each time it's opened, followed by a deliriously pungent after-jet of fragrance each time an individually wrapped confectionary treasure is exposed. As for the morsel itself, it clearly has more staying power than any of its rivals, providing hours of masticating merriment. But its greatest claim to the consumer's affection for confection is not visual, olfactory or gustatory: it's decidedly tactile. No gum comes close to this one in the critical areas of texture and viscosity. The action is positively "springy," guaranteed to put new life in any user's jaw for all of the stressful events of the day. And at day's end, when the gum's still going strong and you're not, don't be surprised if you suddenly find a use for that neglected bedpost. 2003-04-05 US 52633565 R2CV6R2INVQ8R8 B00005QXXG 338404334 El Paso Chile Viva Fajitas Gourmet Food Gift Set Grocery 5 0 0 N Y Great Gift Idea I cannot attest to the taste of the sauces because I bought this for someone else, but I can say that they were very impressed by all that was included.

After years of using Starbuck's decaf and regular single serving espresso pods, I finally found a substitute that's more economical and MUCH better tasting.<br />I've used three different brands of pods in my Starbuck's Barista machine, and have found that the quality of the pod and the flavor of the espresso inside is, by far, the best in the Espressione pods. The flavor is more full bodied and stronger than in the Starbuck's pods. I actually use one pod to make two shots of espresso, and the flavor is more intense than when I buy my specialty drinks from Starbucks or other coffee houses.<br />Also, the pod itself is of very high quality. Each pod is individually wrapped in an airtight, hard foil wrapper, and I've never opened a package yet that contained a torn pod with coffee spilling out.

From time to time, they publish a "survey" (an in-depth look) of a nation or an issue.<br />I greatly admire the non-condescending tone of the magazine.

The martini has the lowest rating on Amazon and only one review. The others are highly rated. I can't figure why the martini set does not have more positive feedback. It's my favorite.<br />The music CD has some great cocktail standards and some less obvious selections to keep it interesting. I like the olive design of the glass picks. The cocktail olives and onions are pretty typical and come in matching bottles. The drink guide is silly but might be useful to a novice mixologist. Likely your drunken guests will just look at the pictures!<br />At the list price this is your typical gift set markup ripoff but at the reduced price you could not buy the raw materials in a market let alone add on a swing mix CD.<br />I gave it five stars to offset the two star review and because at the reduced price you really CAN'T go wrong.

It is concise, witty, hilarious (honestly, at times I've bursted laughing at their sarcasm), and open-minded. It's amazing that a magazine can cover so much and say so much in about 90 pages week in and week out. For a British publication, they cover a lot of the US. I heavily rely on it to get my news and analyses. And I would say that it is perhaps the only reliable news publication (yes, a big statement). In fact, I cancelled my subscription to Business Week in favor of the Economist.<br />They are also not afraid to tackle difficult subjects like the Israel, race relations, corruption, etc. They give credit where credit is due, and are quick dish out blame as well. No one escapes unscathed.<br />I add that I don't agree with all their views (like when they advocated for Clinton to 'Just go' or when they made the case to legalize drugs), however I feel that there is a little bit of everything for everyone in the magazine. And even if they say something that turns your stomach, at least you'll have something to discuss or be outraged.<br />The best features of this magazine are their technology reports (released quarterly), industry and country surveys, and year-end Christmas, special issue.<br />The magazine is expensive when compared to Time or Newsweek. But the analyses and news coverage you get is certainly worth it.

This is definitely a game to look at. I've been looking at other platformers and I know that this one is going to be missed be some of the other games out there, but I hope this helps you at least find out what this game is all about.<br />I've been playing this game for about 15 hours and I'm still finishing the third world. I found it hilarious in some cases, and frustrating at times, but over all it's a very fun game. I love the look of the levels and characters.<BR>It gets better and better. It's targeted for the gamer in mind. You won't finish it in a few hours that's for sure.<br />"Quote from a reviewer:<br />The sheer amount of platform games this holiday season is truly uncanny. With the likes of Sly Cooper, Mario, Ratchet and Clank, and Blinx the platform fans are sure to have their fills this x-mas. Midway has decided to join the action with it's quirky title Dr. Muto. A bizarre game about a mad scientist that can morph into creatures after compiling their DNA structure. While this is a truly unique concept, not not original, can this game survive amongst the larger and more widely known characters fighting for your platforming buck? The answer is a resounding yes and even in some way Muto exceeds their efforts. Let's take a look at another perfect example of an underground hit shall we?<br />Graphics<BR>Visually this game is beautiful, large environments sporting some of the most unique architecture this side of Tim Burton. Very organic in it's look and design Muto's worlds are chock full of amazingly animated enemies and colorful hazards such as toxic sludge. The frame rate is as smooth as ice and the animations are flawless. From Muto's outrageous victory dances to the enemies scattering when being trapped this game has style to match it's unique look and feel. The only downsides are a lack of super textures, the ones here are damn good but could be better, and some nice XBox touches like reflections and bump mapping. All in all an absolutely gorgeous game.<br />Sound<BR>Having memorable music is a must in a platform game, you can still hear the Mario theme in your head can you not? Dr. Muto comes across pretty standard in the department. With some typical techno beats mixed with peculiar sound effects the fare seems to drive the game forward, yet it fails to excel or leave anything for you to hum along with. The sound effects on the other hand are top notch, creepy sounds of cockroaches, putrid sounds of liquid and waste, mixed with some excellent voice acting add to the strange personality this game portrays. Dr. Muto himself muttering his "sometimes" understandable lingo to Al your personal computer with his monotone jokes about how the current situation is suitable for a videogame but not a mad scientist are of the highest quality.<br />Gameplay<BR>This is where the game draws you in and doesn't let go. You are in control of Dr. Muto, a mad scientist with the ability to morph into creatures to accomplish goals. Sounds like a simple concept but the best part is the game does it so well by teaching you only what you need to know thus perfecting your skills for the later levels. You use the X button to perform what is called trapping, by trapping so many of the same creature you are given the ability to morph into it. This adds depth and personality and requires you to learn each function continuing to add more game for your buck. The game also switches styles on you from time to time adding challenge and variety, the screen often flips to the side for some old school 2D side scrolling action. Making jumps and timing are key to these challenges and continue to excel this game further in this department. While easy to pick up and taking a good amount of time to master Muto has certainly been designed with gamers in mind!<br />Overall<BR>What this game does it does well and that is deliver a truly unique and fun experience for gamers. If you are a fan of platforming games and are tired of the same old crap then definitely pick this masterpiece up. It will deliver to you many hours of gaming goodness on top of being just downright entertaining to play. Watching this game is almost as fun as playing it and that is a feat less and less achieved in the gaming realm these days. I suggest giving this sleeper a rent, it may mutate your thoughts on platforming games in general.

It gives short term gamesmanship and chaotic theory short shrift (somebody once noted most corporations in the long run go bankrupt, so the short-term is very important for an economy). As such, it tends to get a bit boring and predictable.<br />Also, as a minor quibble, it is much more liberal (modern sense) and less anti-statist and doom and gloom than it was a while ago, as another poster noted. I prefer a liberarian, no-government advocacy in op-eds, but that is just an advocacy position, which reasonable people can quibble over.<br />However, all in all, the Economist is good, only because of the poor competition.

The writers and editors are generally upfront about their views: news articles, as well as the leaders (editorials to Americans) are forthright and opinionated.

Although it is in a magazine format, it's own editors refer to it as a newspaper, and it may be better understood in that context. Here are a few reasons why it is so superior:<br />- There are no bylines, on any articles. The Economist maintains the belief that \\"what is written is more important than who wrote it.\\" This removes opportunities for vanity reporting and grandstanding by authors with agendas.<br />- It's charter prohibits majority ownership by any one particular media group, further cutting down on bias.<br />- Everything written in the magazine must withstand the test of fact. As such, rumour, conjecture, or any other tabloid type news is not found within it's pages. As such, it may not break open too many new stories, but you'll certainly never risk embarrasment by saying, \\"well, as I was reading in the Economist...\\"<br />- I've heard, though not verified, that only two news publication can be quoted for doctoral theses in Ivy league schools. Those are the Christian Science Monitor and the Economist.<br />With a framework like that, you know you are going to be spared the tabloidism of the broadcast media, the \\"lifestyle management\\" of the \\"lite\\" newsmagazines, and be treated to the most thorough and factual analysis of important issues anywhere. The Economist is one of the few last bastions of JOURNALISM left. Most so-called \\"news\\" media is really broadcasting, rather than journalism, and as such is more concerned with selling product rather than reporting events.<br />As to concerns with bias, yes the Economist has it's biases, just like any magazine. However, to attempt to characterize it as \\"liberal\\" or \\"conservative\\" does not make sense in the context of the Economist. A magazine that is pro-gay rights, pro-euthanasia, and anti-capital punishment, yet at the same time, highly pro-trade, free market and very pro-defense, defies characterization in any one direction. While you may disagree with it on certain stances, at least you will never wonder how they reached their conclusion. 2002-09-25 US 53093290 R24D6Q55E2QOQL B00005IX97 513634569 Espressione Classic Coffee Pods, Box of 150 Grocery 5 7 7 N N the best pods Something odd must have happened to Mr. Kelly.<br />I have compared the espressione pods with those made by Illy, Starbucks, Saeco, and another I've forgotten, and the espressione pods produce the best espresso with the strongest taste of any. 2002-09-23 US 49320636 R3M49ZQPPGAGYL B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 4 5 N N Required Reading This magazine is absolutely amazing. The Economist was first suggested to me during a lecture my freshman year in college.

It was the passion in his voice that convinced me to try it out. \\"How good could it possibly be?\\"<br />Admittedly, it took me a while to get into it. It is very dense, and if you haven't ever really studied world issues, you'll have some catching up to do. But within 6 months, I was hooked.

I'm now studying abroad in Hong Kong, and I plan to work in Latin America and then later in Asia.<br />But, I would suggest this to anyone, whether or not they are in business. The Economist has a network of reporters all over the world. It is very well written and it covers a broad range of issues/disciplines/geographical areas. Unlike most Western media sources, it provides deserved coverage of Africa and Asia. It is also extremely progressive (and arguably liberal, despite what its critics may say).<br />While reading the magazine, I have been approached by people on subways and in cafes. \\"You read The Economist? Isn't it great!?\\" People who read it know.<br />Read The Economist for 3-6 months... give it that long. You won't be disappointed. And if you're reading some [stuff]like \\"Newsweek,\\" burn it.

Asia, Africa, Europe, USA, South America - in politics, economics, science, arts - if its happening, the Economist will probably have something to say about it.<br />You might not always agree with it, but you have to admire its analytical depth and perspective. 2002-09-20 US 43965309 R1Z60SACD0V4OC B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 5 6 N N man, it is a very good magazine I dont need to say much, since other people have basically said it all, but I want to add that its special surveys rock.<br />Although its a quite right-wing magazine, and it sometimes says stuff that i disagree, its logic and reasons are relevant, which makes its opinions quite useful.

For one, the quality of reporting is only a few steps above that of a supermarket tabloid. They are trite, superficial and sensationalistic.

It is able to distill the significant world events into a weekly format without loss of quality while providing superior analysis.<br />Critics have complained that The Economist does little true original reporting, relying on news that has already hit television and newspapers around the world.

Back in my college days, I once heard that there was the Economist and then there was Slime, Newspeak and Useless News and World Distort. I won't disagree. Its not perfect since, occasionally, the other American newsmagazines will cover some US stories in more detail than will the Economist but then you have to wade through umpteen pointless human interest stories or even stupider stories on celebrities.<br />Over the past 20+ years, roughly how long I've been reading the Economist, its editorial slant has gone from Far Right to Right of Center (assuming that old fashioned Liberals are considered center-right) on economic/financial matters and Left of Center on social issues. It is very difficult to exactly categorize the publication since it is usually too intelligent to slavishly toe any line other than one of abhorring waste and stupidity.<br />If you are trying to 'pin' it down, the slant of the Economist is in favor of 'market based' solutions to virtually any problem that can be analyzed in those terms: <br />Trade? For it! What about displaced workers? Retrain them! What if they are too old or too ill-educated to be retrained? Would be better to buy 'em off with a lump-sum payment! Net, all of society will still be better off!<br />Pollution? Against it! BUT use the market mechanism to reduce it at the lowest cost in terms of jobs lost or firms forced out of business.<br />Abortion? Pro-choice since it is in favor of maximizing individual choice and responsibilities (the sine qua non of any market society).<br />I think you get the idea. The particular strength of the Economist is its ability to explain very complex, abstract economic theory in terms any intelligent layman can understand. (Note: I do NOT say, "any person" as there are far too many stupid people out there who cannot understand anything, no matter how hard you try to explain it). The Economist is the best all-round news weekly available but falls behind the Far Eastern Economic Review if that part of the world is what you are interested in.

Unlike the fluff that fills the pages of Time, USNWR, and Newsweek, the Economist covers news that's fit to print, not just what will sell magazines (i.e. no celebrity photos, no \\"God Bless America\\" patriotism, no health-news infotainment, and no avalanche of advertising that falls out of the magazine when you pick it up.). Unlike Business Week and other business news sources, the Economist isn't into stock picking, cheesy management books, hot sectors, and celebrity investors. The Economist is about facts, about reporters doing real research, and about consistent excellence.<br />Time, Newsweek, and friends may have their place in the dentist's waiting room, but when I want to know what's going on in the world, or gather facts to make an opinion, the Economist is the first news source at hand.<br />The Economist has<BR> * detailed news on events all over the globe<BR> * heads of state, nobel prize winners, company leaders, and informed citizens' opinions on the letters page<BR> * long surveys of difficult problems (corporate finance problems, Chinese political reform, open source software)<BR> * real criticism on policies and plans<BR> * accessible ways to understand complex concepts (i.e. explaining purchasing-power parity by comparing the prices of Big Macs in various countries)<BR> * remarkably fresh language for such a serious news source<br />I've been reading it for years, starting from high school debate, college libraries, and borrowing copies from friends. After graduating, I bought it from newstands for a year, and a few months back I gave in and got a three year subscription. It's expensive, but I'm sure it's money well spent.<br />Besides saving money by subscribing, print subscriptions often include online access, as well. I haven't used it yet, but I imagine the searchable archives are excellent for research. 2002-06-19 US 42852820 R1I7S88Y2RO6TZ B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 3 10 30 N N Excellent writing from a corporate globalist perspective Unlike most of the reviewers, I noticed a stong bias in the coverage of the magazine. The writing is clever and well done, and the breadth of issues covered is quite wide. They are not writing for dummies, which does make it more enjoyable to read than most weeklies. For that reason, as well as the fact that I majored in Economics in college, I subscribed for a year.<br /> I enjoyed the 'unbiased' reporting for a few months and then picked up on a quite strong bias actually. While not being partisan for any political party, it is quite partisan in its 'cosmopolitanism', i.e. it is very pro global business. Fair enough, by examining the advertisements in the magazine, global business pays a lot of the magazine's bills. My populist sentiments from a Midwestern upbringing led me to stop my subscription.<br /> Shortly afterwards, I became aware of informal global business powwows, like the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg. Often, political leaders are invited to these conferences, as well as central bankers, media figures, NGO leaders as well as business leaders. They meet once a year, similar to the G-8 meetings. Anyhow, editors from the Economist are often rapporteurs at these meetings that get almost no coverage in mainstream media. I recalled the Economist calling Ian Duncan Smith(current leader of the Conservative party in Britain) akin with Atilla the Hun. Why? He is(or was) opposed to Britain joining the European Union and wants to keep the Pound. Who did they support to take over the reins of the Conservative Party? Kenneth Clark, Bilderberg participant. When the race for the Conservative Party leadership ended up between these two, and Smith looked like the probable winner, I remember the 'unbiased' Economist suggesting that the Conservative Party might be buying a one-way ticket to the political wilderness if the Conservative Party becomes anti-Europe(pro-Smith), while Labor would become the new center-right party. If our political process reflected the will of the people(which it doesn't), this statement by the Economist would have been ludicrous. <br /> The Economist propogates the views of a coterie of central bankers, financiers, and industrialists with a pro-globalism viewpoint. Not all financiers and industrialists are part of this coterie, Burlusconi for example, but the political goals and institutions of this coterie escape critical analysis. Fair enough, if they want to propagate their views, that is their own business, but objective it ain't. 2002-06-13 US 53020253 RG9YCME7OAZFD B00005IX96 513634569 Espressione Classic Coffee Pods, Box of 150 Grocery 5 26 29 N Y Better than Starbucks espresso pods Using the Briel Chamonix machine I purchased from Amazon, I have produced delicious lattes using these pods.

It offers a full range of coverage about politics, world affairs, business, books, arts, culture... and of course, finance and economics. As an American, I especially appreciate the Economist's outsider perspective on U.S. issues; it puts all the silly things that the American media focus on in a more balanced perspective. Of particular note, the weekly "Lexington" column offers perhaps the most insightful commentary on U.S. politics of any newspaper or magazine, and it does it with prose that is witty and direct.<br />Many people complain about the price, but let me tell you: it is worth every penny. I started a subscription on a lark several years ago and thought I would not renew it when it expired, but I became addicted. It is the only magazine I read. I eagerly await the mailman's arrival every Saturday afternoon, because I know he'll be bringing me the best and most comprehensive news and analysis magazine in this world.<br />One minor criticism: if you live in parts of the country that are away from postal hubs, you may not get your magazine on Saturday like you are supposed to. When I lived in Hawaii, it was always several days late -- and this was maddening. Even in the Washington DC area, I sometimes wouldn't get my copy until Monday.

Indeed, my weekend does not really commence until I have strolled home with the week's edition of The Economist in hand.<br />Through wars, market corrections and the occasional political scandal, The Economist has always provided a critical filter to make sense of what has transpired. In an ever changing world its unique form of journalism is the one constant I can count on. I know it will fairly and succintly present the major issues of the day; oftentimes too with a wit and verve one would not expect from a newspaper that bills itself as a "specialist publication."<br />So, do not let its dry title fool you.

However, it is an incredibly well-rounded magazine covering world politics, business, and a little technology and culture. The British slant is obvious, but there is actually more coverage of the USA and its individual states than anything else. The authors are nameless, but I suspect some writers are clearly Americans by the evident conservative and pro-Bush tone that's so fashionable these days.

I was a little suprised with the puffery, but curious enough to see if this little British rag could live up to its own hype.<br />Could it ever. It's the one thing in the world -- sorry New York Times, sorry Wall Street Journal, and I just feel bad for you, USA TODAY -- that can keep you fully aware of global events every week. And not just aware of Europe. Not just aware of British politics. And not just aware of remarkably cogent issues concerning American politics. But knowledgeable about a potential Caribbean stock exchange, Robert Mugabe's worthless leadership in Zimbabwe, and more. <br />When I spent a few months messin around with Eastern Europe, I missed my plane out of Prague, just so I could go back and grab my copy of that week's Economist.

There was a sharp editorial turn to the right in 1978, but it's been ameliorated lately to the more traditional dispassionate (but cutting) neutrality. Changes in format and style have been more frequent in the recent 5 years (which I have not always endorsed - I'm still not pleased about their switch to color, as I think the black & white forced them to be more trenchant in their illustrations), but where else could one go to find out the political machinations of remote corners of the earth that American magazines never heard of?<BR>It may be hard going to read at first, especially if you're accustomed to the "look boys and girls, today we're going to visit the White House. Oooh, is that the President we see? Has he been naughty or nice?" tone of Time and Newsweek. Stick with it - you'll never go back. Sometimes the American reporting has appeared to analyze everything according to its effect in Washington DC, but this too shall pass.<BR>The business reporting is spectacular, and there are nuggets throughout each issue in various areas including the frequently oddball statistics in the Economic Indicators section. Never miss the Letters section: I recall brutal and searing exchanges between Henry Kissinger and William Shawcross when his book on the bombing of Cambodia was reviewed, as just one example.<BR>There is no finer magazine since the demise of Ross's New Yorker.

Please do not be mislead by the magazines title 'The Economist.' While it covers business and the economy in detail it offers so much more, including a detailed analysis of all the major news stories from around the world.The magazine is published weekly in sections which cover all the geographic areas (for in depth news analysis - and not just when there is a war going on there), Business and Finance, and Arts amongst others. One of my favorite sections is the one page obituary they always devote to someone of distinction (not necessarily the most famous) every week.The writing is always concise (and always without a byline) and a certain dry humor permeates the magazine throughout. Sometimes the amount of information contained in the weekly can be a bit overwhelming, but it is always presented in a very clear manner. The analysis is always well thought out and well researched and typically, the Economist, will not shy away from giving its own opinions. This is the sort of magazine that you may not always agree with, but one which you will always respect. 2002-01-28 US 52675743 R3PN4R7QGZ2WZB B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 4 5 N N Outstanding News and Analysis -- In Great Quantities The Economist's reputation for insightful and expert reporting generally overshadows a wonderfully pointed humor that is rarely petty. Moreover, the writing is possessed of much greater confidence than is the norm in the press. A recent article on Enron has a nice example of both, it noted: <br />"In August 2001, an Enron employee, Sherron Watkins, had written to her boss, Kenneth Lay, expressing her concern that \\"we will implode in a wave of accounting scandals.\\" If Ms Watkins, whose field was \\"corporate development\\", could see the writing on the wall, surely Andersen should have been able to read it." <br />Much of the press seems to have no instinct for when to hedge about what allegedly may be true and when to draw sensible conclusions and address the consequences. This inability is the chief cause for the shallow coverage of which many of us are tiring. The Economist, on the other hand, has an almost unerring sense in this regard and it is very refreshing.<br />One note of warning . . . The Economist is the finest monthly newsmagazine currently being published. The only problem is that it comes out once a week.

Eventhough, I am only 36 years old, I am really looking forward to retirement so that I can have the time to sit down with this magazine every week and read it from cover to cover. It is fantastic.<br />The writing is superb. All its competitors rely on verbatim quoting to tell a story or rely on smarmy puns and cliche's to carry the story. Not this magazine. They let the story or issue tell itself. No matter what the editor or authors bias is on the subject, they will always air the other side's point of view as well. The coverage is very wide and the articles hit the core without going on forever. 2001-12-13 US 50001003 RJVE7D9OXOJOD B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 1 5 N N Simply the best Some people complain that the magazine is dry. I would offer that if you read it regularly it becomes more palatable over time (remember when differential equations were hard?). More importantly it will give you insights and depth into the world that Time and Newsweek cant in there "News for Dummies" incarnation. Reading the Economist is an investment in yourself and will improve your understanding of the world and you're thinking process as well. The magazine authors are truly gifted and superlatively smart and witty to boot. Needless to say I like this magazine (sic even better then Juggs). 2001-12-06 US 52601972 R2YTQYDNOB9K9F B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 10 10 N N Nothing compares to The Economist Simply put, The Economist is the best news magazine available. It provides excellent coverage of international and economic affairs, and its "Leaders" which provide insight into major events of the day, including the war on terrorism, are exceptional. There are special reports, extended reporting on a single topic, in at least two issues every month.<br />Delving into such serious topics as war, finance and politics, one would expect The Economist to be very dry reading. Far from it. The magazine's jounalists (who are never credited with a byline) are the best news writers I have ever read. It is intelligent, witty and informative reading. If you're sick of Time and Newsweek, and are looking for something with greater depth, The Economist is the way to go. 2001-12-05 US 40456254 R1N4ORMBDLRWZ B00005QXXG 338404334 El Paso Chile Viva Fajitas Gourmet Food Gift Set Grocery 5 12 14 N N That's ONE BIG fajita!

First off the writing is great, the stories are easy to read but don't treat you like a child. Unlike other weekly news magazines the Economist covers every corner of the globe in detail, so you can find an article about South America or Africa (and not just when a war is starting). Of course they also offer articles on business, but unlike other publications they avoid all of the silly hype and focus on the facts. Even the book reviews and obituaries are always made interesting to read! While you may not always agree on the viewpoint presented in the Economist, it is always a point of view worth thinking about. While you may not get rich from reading this publication, it will make you wiser. It's the perfect gift for the person who likes to think and explore the world from their living room. 2001-11-24 US 52569779 R28HAPS2100TOY B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 16 17 N N Best news and analysis, worldwide coverage, int'l viewpoint The Economist is simply the finest magazine I have encountered. 11 sections with 5-10 full page articles each: Leaders, Europe, Britian, International, United States, The Americas, Asia, Business, Finance & Economics, Science & Technology, and Books & Arts.<br />Makes Newsweek, Time, US News look like People.

Full of information on International economies, livlihoods, developments, politics, and issues pertinent to those international locations. Don't let the name of this magazine full you. Although there is a general overtone, it is very informative in many areas. With this magazine arriving weekly, I have difficulty getting through each one before the next arrives.<br />A great value! 2001-11-04 US 50103760 R2XP1RFUXZWU9B B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 114 126 N N Perhaps the world's greatest magazine This may be the most difficult review I ever write, for what can be said about this publication that anyone who reads these words does not already know? The title suggests news of interest only to accountants and bankers, so the insightful views of world affairs found in every issue go unappreciated by all but few.<br />A shame, for this is truly a great magazine.<br />What the Times is to daily news, what the New Yorker is to culture, that is what the Economist is to international affairs, business, and politics. Published in London, the Economist is free from the subtle corruption ever present in American corporate-sponsored magazines, providing a truly objective view of U.S. policy each and every week. (I can not speak for British readers, but they seem just as objective when discussing European affairs).<br />Put down the advertisement-rich and content-free magazines you force yourself to read. Get the magazine that sustained Nelson Mandela in prison. Get accurate reporting and real insight into the world you live in.

The Economist introduced me to the subject of globalization in 1998, and I've been hooked ever since. This is my guidebook to informed living on planet Earth.<br />The Economist is not a finance periodical... it is well-nigh a -book- of analysis, completely current, spoken with one editorial voice, the voice of reason, common sense, and good humor. The name 'Economist' represents this weekly's founder's heartfelt belief that human value is a worthy cause, that everything can be expressed in terms of a holism of human values, and that every single significant event -should- be given this measurement. Every world happening has meaning to the economy of human life. Good and bad are real... no moral relativism here.<br />You can throw out your copy of Time, Newsweek, and the New York Times (including Sunday and the magazine). Compared to the Economist, all other U.S. periodicals (unfortunately) are nothing but a pose--and I'm a red-blooded American, raised in South Dakota... trust me, the Economist is a magazine everyman can approach and know.<br />News doesn't have to be a duty... this magazine makes it a delight. Save yourself some money and a heap of time, and gain your citizenship in the world.

Boy did it help! I have yet to find a more objective and analytical magazine on politics and economics. Whereas Time has always had a huge bias towards America and America's allies, the Economist (being British) has always been more objective and is straightforward and witty. It should be noted that this magazine is not for somebody who wants a quick summary of last week's news. This is for the reader who wants to get the details, and intensive analysis of economic and political issues. Although I've said above that the Economist is un-biased, I must admit that there is a definite Right-wing slant to most of its articles, but as far as I'm concerned, it's still more objective than Time, Newsweek and CNN. 2001-10-31 US 52997294 R1IUB3WAAIOKZK B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 1 2 N N The Best News Magazine in the English Language While Time and Newsweek have become vapid picture books, the Economist has remained the reference standard for a weekly news magazine.

I like its international focus, seemingly objective perspective and deep content. There is a huge amount of information to consume. The magazine is very text heavy-- if you are the type of reader who likes lots of pictures, this is not the periodical for you. However, if you like an in-depth international perspective on business, economics and politics then the Economist can provide great learning. 2001-10-29 US 51202912 R1IL6SS7OVKDHE B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 7 7 N N World's Finest English-Language News I've been an avid reader of the Economist for more than 6 years. If there is a better English-language newspaper on this planet, I've yet to discover it. The Leaders section contains an analysis of international news offering THE best synthesis of the week's major world events. The regional coverage is also outstanding. As a student of Southeast Asia, I immediately turn to the section covering Asia for the latest issues affecting the region. Then I read the Leaders, after which I read the Science and Technology section. Did I mention the excellent book reviews? They also publish timely special reports throughout the year as part of the magazine. Last month (September '01) they included an essential piece on globalization.<br><br>And if all that weren't enough, the Enonomist cover art is incredible!

I find this is the best single source of news, with the added benefits that (1) it is more intellectual that the typical news rag like Time or Newsweek and (2) being from the UK it has a non-US slant on issues that you can't find in the US. Admittedly a bit of British snobbery and resentment of US wealth creeps into the editorials, but the world view of this publication is very valuable. 2001-10-26 US 53096564 R2I9E7WNAIHIYX B00005NIP1 378769897 Economist Grocery 5 0 1 N N Unparalleled News and Analysis If you want a single weekly to keep you up to speed with what's going on in the world, and \\"Time\\" or \\"Newsweek\\" leaves you feeling hungry for fresher ideas and less facile analysis, get \\"The Economist\\".

Not that there's anything wrong with that. In Tuscon, they've hooked up with Joey Burns and John Convertino (the braintrust of the amazing Calexico), both of whom guest on Wavelab Performance. There is much about this album that reminds of the desert southwest sound perfected by Calexico, and yet there sneaks in a hint of Euro-ness that makes their sound unique. The guitars can offer fuzztones and feedback while the drums pound frenetically, and yet there isn't the sense that the music is directionless. The vocals are spare and the lyrics won't likely win any poetry contests, but in this context, they work. This may not be the kind of music that stays in the cd player for weeks on end, but it is a refreshing change of pace.<br />And if nothing else, it hints at what may come from the forthcoming formal Calexico/Amor Belhom Duo collaboration entitled "Tete A Tete". That should be one interesting release. 2000-12-05 US 50377094 R35K50CF47311S B00000K1X9 161697639 479 NATL SHOW HRSE BAY PINTO 6 Grocery 5 0 0 N N This Horse Is Gorgourges!

Don't get it wrong, these are pretty strong. They are not exactly fragile or anything.... but overall pretty durable. It is also totally educational. The box comes with the name of the breed of horse, (in this case Bay Pinto) and its realistic features really help you learn about that particular breed and what it looks like. The thing i love about this model and all other breyer models is the close resemblance to the real thing. These are not cheesy barbie horses with cheap plastic and eyelashes...
