I'm Not Happy With Icing, The Oreo Filling Challenge

I decided that the cream in the middle of the Oreo wasn't good enough, even when you flavour it. So my goal is to find out what else could work in an Oreo, the results are both positive and surprising.

Spreads - Strawberry Jam

I just finished an art piece for bewarethecheese.com's fine art gallery "Senses". For this piece I had to photograph, and eventually eat more than 40 different spreads.  I've decided to post a little something about each spread that I sampled.

Strawberry jam is really my go to jam.  I'll sample others, but I have to say that strawberry is by far my favorite.  It's always best when it's totally loaded with big chunks as well.  A little peanut butter, a huge dollop of chunky strawberry jam, and I'm a happy boy.

Spreads - Raspberry Jam

I just finished an art piece for bewarethecheese.com's fine art gallery "Senses". For this piece I had to photograph, and eventually eat more than 40 different spreads.  I've decided to post a little something about each spread that I sampled.

I have two favorite jams, and this is one of them.  Chances are if you look in my cupboard I will have a jar of this stuff.  If it's not in my cupboard than chances are it's in my refrigerator.  If you happen to check my cupboard, and my refrigerator, and you still don't see any raspberry jam, than you might want to check my grocery list.

Spreads - Cherry Jam

I just finished an art piece for bewarethecheese.com's fine art gallery "Senses". For this piece I had to photograph, and eventually eat more than 40 different spreads.  I've decided to post a little something about each spread that I sampled.

I'm always disappointed with cherry jams (or preserves as some call it) because it's never that nice blend of sour and sweet.  It's always way too sweet, and to me a cherry is a slightly sour fruit.  I've also always wondered if a cherry is a berry or not, in my head it is, but I have no science to back that up.

Spreads - Blueberry Jam

I just finished an art piece for bewarethecheese.com's fine art gallery "Senses". For this piece I had to photograph, and eventually eat more than 40 different spreads.  I've decided to post a little something about each spread that I sampled. 

I don't think I've ever bought a jar of blueberry jam in my life.  If I go for a berry jam, I tend to go for strawberry or raspberry.  It's not that I don't like blueberry jam, I just think I'd rather just eat a handful of fresh blueberries than blueberry jam.  Did you know that the US and Canada have a blueberry rivalry?  Canada say's that Quebec blueberries are the best, while the US claims main blueberries are the best.

Spreads - Apricot Jam

I just finished an art piece for bewarethecheese.com's fine art gallery "Senses". For this piece I had to photograph, and eventually eat more than 40 different spreads.  I've decided to post a little something about each spread that I sampled. 

I love apricot jam on toast with a little bit of butter.  Apricot jam is the only jam I generally don't like in yogurt.  It's also the jam I most often confuse with marmalade.

It's National Peanut Butter and Jam Day

Just because it's Peanut Butter and Jam day doesn't mean you have to have your PBandJ between two slices of bread.  There's a lots of alternatives out there.  There are even many candy treats that put these two flavours together for you, like these Peanut Butter and Jam M&Ms.

IKEA Cake

About a year ago I was sitting in an Ottawa IKEA eating a plate of meatballs, when I noticed an advertisement for something called a "Princess Cake".  Allison and I talked about the cake, and wondered aloud what the deal was.  A man cleaning tables next to us overheard our conversations and spent the next 20 minutes explaining every single detail of this soon to be released cake.  In a nutshell, the cake is a special edition treat created in celebration of the royal wedding in Sweden this past year.

Well, to be honest, I don't eat many deserts at IKEA.  When I do, I tend to favour the D'aim cake.  However on this visit I saw one of these "Princess Cakes" sitting in the cooler, and I just had to give it a try.  It looked absolutely spectacular, however it tasted rather bland.  It had a little bit of jam and cream wedged between two light cakes. The jam was way too subtle and the cake had almost no flavour.  It wasn't bad texturally, but really not something I'd serve at a wedding.

More IKEA Questions

Yesterday I posted a blog about why IKEA treats are only available at the end of the store and today I have another IKEA question.  What the heck is a lingonberry.  I understand it's a berry and I also understand that it's probably red.  The thing I can't figure out is why I've never seen one growing in the wild.  I mean Canada and Sweden have fairly similar climates, and I imagine at least one person might be interested in cultivating these very popular berries outside of Sweden.

This Month Is Peanut Butter Lover's Month

Here's reason number 13 to love peanut butter:

Take a little jam, put it on the bottom of a spoon.  Then scoop a ball of peanut butter and put it on top of the jam.  Watch cartoons and enjoy.

Are You a Donut Fanatic?

I used to think I was, I enjoy a donut now and again, but frankly plain donuts kind of gross me out. This is why I believe that I'm not really a donut fanatic, I'm a fan, and I enjoy eating them, but I don't really enjoy the subtlety of a plain donut. I pretty much want as much stuff piled on top and I find anything without the proper load of icing or jam to be really dry and boring.

I Often Claim I Will Eat Anything Once

It would appear I have found my limit. A company is producing jam that has been infused with Lady Di's hair. This pretty much ranges in the area of psycho stalker in my mind. I can't say that I have any interest in consuming a royal.

Review these bad boys.

Figure I would just add this review since I wrote about shooting it before. Also since I think I’m a little behind since the movie came out so long ago. I’m pretty sure they came out while I was in Japan, particularly since the movie debuted down the street from where I was staying in Tokyo. So enjoy an extra little review for today.
