It Is Wickedly Delicious: Rachel's Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is one of those things that one either loves or hates. I happen to love the cheese curds and now I love them even more because yogurt maker Rachel's has taken cottage cheese to the next level and come up with some terrific flavor combinations. Initially one might think that mixing Cucumber Dill or Pear Mangosteen and cottage cheese may be weird but trust me, when you give them a taste you'll be hooked. There's also Sun Dried Tomato Pesto, Lemon Verbena Berry, Roasted Red Pepper, and Pomegranate Orange Cranberry. I have two issues with the product: the $1.89 price tag per container is a bit steep if you'd like to have one for lunch or breakfast each day. The other involves distribution as there is only one grocery store in my area that I can find the product in (it's also difficult to find Rachel's fine yogurts). In addition to getting the products on more store shelves, I'm also hoping that the company will decide to put out larger sizes of the cottage cheese flavors.

Would You Like Some Twang In Your Beer?

Twang is a company that makes all kinds of great flavored salts and cocktail sugars. Basically they are the adult beverage drinkers' best friend. Well, at least those who enjoy flavor, and lots of it. I was happy to find Twang's two beer salts which come in the flavors of lemon lime and also a lime version. They come in cute little plastic containers in the shape of beer bottles complete with tiny bottle cap. I was a bit confused as to how to use them as there is no information on Twang's site. Do I rim my beer like a margarita? I Googled it and a few people pointed out that you're actually supposed to pour some of the salt into your beer until you get your desired taste. If you decide to give these a try which I suggest you do, first try a little in your beer as apparently the salt doesn't go with some beers. Since my taste buds run toward Miller Chill and other beers that might not be a beer connoisseur's choice, it's fine for me. According to Twang's site the salts can also be used on food which I'd imagine would be quite tasty. Highly recommended especially if you drink girly/bad beer like myself.
