For my birthday last month the husband gave me a copy of How To Cook A Wolf By M.K. Fisher. He had heard about the book on NPR and thought I would enjoy it.

How To Cook A Wolf first gained popularity for not only the author's frugal and creative recipes but the way she made very little sound enticing. Ms. Fisher certainly did have a way with words. A must read for any foodie.

Since we were on a kick of trying different soda's my husband found Pepsi and Mountain Dew throw back. So we had another taste test.



The Pepsi tasted like Dr. Pepper. Fine if you like Dr. Pepper. Me not so much. So I was pretty grossed out.

The Dew was very good. Not much difference in taste from the current kind. Both sodas are only available for a limited time.

I've heard about Kosher for Passover Coca Cola for a few years, but couldn't find any. Until this year. I really did not like it at all. I found it overly bubbly and not sweet at all.

Coca Cola is normally Kosher(did you know that. Most manufactured foods are) but Kosher for Passover is different. You could tell which bottles are Kosher for Passover because of the yellow caps. They are made with cane sugar instead of fructose. Those lucky Canadians have Coca Cola made with real sugar all year long. Although when Niel and I were in Canada their Coke didn't taste anything like the Kosher for Passover Coke.

One of my favorite sites, Not Martha conducted her own taste test. Go over and read her opinion on it as well.

I should have paid attention to the packaging. But see I am stubborn. Now I really think I have found a snack that is too spicy. Even for me. Someone who LOVES spice. It's Flaimin Hot Cheetos. Holy Moly there is a lot of Tobasco sauce in them!
