PepperMate Disposable Peppercorn/Salt and Salt Grinders #2023HolidayGiftGuide

2023 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · November 10, 2023

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinion and thoughts are 100% my own.

Everyone who knows me, Knows how I love my food seasoned. Sure you can season your food after it cooks but it is so very much flavorful when you season it throughout the cooking process. Then after you taste it, If you like a little more salt ot pepper then feel free to add it. I know or knew several family members who don’t season their food through the cooking process. To me that is just an injudicious to the food itself. Flavor is the key to life. I am beyond thrilled to include PepperMate in my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide.

PepperMate

“Many of the mills on the market – including even the classic wooden pepper mill – turn out to be little more than decorative” – Pierre Franey NYT 1982

On June 25th 1982 The New York Times ran a story about Pepper Grinders. It was written by the famous French Chef Pierre Franey. It discussed a common problem of cooking recipes calling for freshly ground pepper and home chefs not having access to those important spices. This entire article was dedicated to our world famous PepperMate Traditional Pepper Mill. It was revolution in home cooking and even the experts agreed.

“A new pepper mill has just been introduced on the market and it is one of the best I’ve come across. Called PepperMate, it is a sleep and beautifully designed model about six inches high, attractive and easy to operate.” – Pierre Franey NYT 1982

Established in 1982 we have carried out our mission in allowing people to easily dispense gourmet freshly ground pepper. We have moved with the times and elaborated on the utility, style and usefulness of our product lines. Our team of designers and product developers all appreciate the fine art of gourmet home cooking and we do not take this task lightly. Every product we produce always has to answer these key questions.”

They offer everything from individual disposable grinders to the incredible turn key pepper grinder to peppercorns. I cannot for the life of me understand why I have not tried this product before.

This is a very user friendly product. Even people with arthritis I have heard are loving this product. My Mother-In-Law who has terrible arthritis in her hands and cannot use a grinder loves this product. Sure there is some resistance but not like other grinders where it is almost impossible to turn. Don’t forget to remove the safety paper from the product.

You can shop this and and of the other products being offered on Pepper mate listed on my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide.

Raw Spice Bar Rub Subscription Review #2023HolidayGiftGuide

2023 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · October 29, 2023

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinion and thoughts are 100% my own.

Cooking has always been an issue for me. I have tons of recipes handed down in my family but I never have the spices or combined spices I need. That was until now as I received a very awesome group of spices from Raw Spice Lab. One thing I do require is seasoned food. Even if it is just salt and pepper. I get confused as to why people do not season their food.

Raw Spice Bar is a company that creates all kind of spices and rubs. They create a new spice every month. They sell everything from individual spices to Blend Boxes to spice subscriptions. Spice subscriptions are the way to go. When you sign up for a subscription, The person you sign up will get an awesome spice monthly to make or create an amazing dish/recipe. This is the perfect gift for that foodie on your gift list!

“They say that if something isn’t broke, don’t fix it. Take grocery store spice blends, for example. They’re just good enough. Not special, not wow-inducing, and usually a bit on the flavorless side. They’re just kind of…there. Just like a tomato bought from a store can never compare to the tangy, fresh flavor of a locally grown farmer’s market tomato, a store-bought spice blend can be good, but only a spice blend utilizing the freshest ingredients for the deepest flavors can be great.

At RawSpiceBar, we believe that no one should settle for bland food or a so-so mealtime routine. A Creole blend should have the sounds of Bourbon Street ringing in your ears. A Greek blend should transport you to the sun-drenched vineyards of the Mediterranean. When “good enough” spice blends didn’t achieve this, we knew something had to change. ”

Memphis Sidewheel Dry Rub– The Memphis Sidewheel Dry Rub is a blend of earthy, smoky, herbal, and spicy designed especially for ribs. Greek influences, such as oregano and garlic, meet traditional Cajun spices like paprika and chiles. Use this smoky Memphis dry rub to create an acidic “wet mop” for making tangy and tender charcoal-grilled ribs. Hand blended from yellow mustard seeds, smoky paprika, onion, garlic, black peppercorns, celery seed, thyme, and oregano.

Longhorn Dry Rub– Everything’s bigger in Texas, so we created a rub that brings big flavor to even the most substantial cuts of beef.

Sweet Carolina Dry Rub– No matter your barbecue preference, our RawSpiceBar Sweet Carolina Dry Rub can unify the masses around what turns a good barbecue into a great one. A sweet, savory blend of granulated raw sugar, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and more, this month’s dry rub will give you a new-found love for your grill, barbecue meals, and knowledge of an American summertime staple.

All 3 of these rubs are included in the Grill master spice kit. All of these are available for a very affordable price. I am very pleased to offer these spices in my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide. You will not be sorry when you order this for that special cook/chef on your gift list.

How I Reduce My Stress With Plays.org

Reviews · August 12, 2023

All opinion and thoughts for this post are 100% my own.

Everyone I know has stress but what kind of stress and to what degree of stress is a question that only you can answer. I have anxiety. My anxiety level can be through the roof at times. I practice a lot of different things such as meditation, practicing mindfulness and the most important is distracting myself. I distract myself by playing hidden object games.

I found a site that has it all. It is a site that the whole family can play. This is is called plays.org. They have my hidden object games which they add more games daily which I think is awesome. They also add games daily for the other categories which by the way is over 100+. Like I said they have it all.

I stared playing games from a free generic site but then I progressed to this site that you don’t have to watch ads or pay a fee. You also don’t have to download anything so that saves space on your computer. It doesn’t matter if you are 8 or 80, you’ll find some games you like on our site. Younger players may like some of our cartoon games while senior citizens may prefer our Solitaire or Mahjong games.

Find The Cat has to be my favorite hidden object game to play on the plays.org site. This is an audio-based missing object finding game. Listen closely to the meowing the cat makes in the woods to find the hidden kitten. meOW! It is a fun game. distracting myself by playing these games really helps decrease my stress level.

My kids just love the sesame street games. I played it once and found it to be really funny and educational. I really am glad that my kids love the site as much as I do. Not only do they have sesame street but tons of other games that are educational for them to learn different skills.

This is a site that you really need to check out. I love everything about this site. They offer players thousands of free online games across hundreds of categories. All games in our collection are unblocked free HTML games which you can play directly in your web browser with no app downloads.

Family · July 11, 2023

Anyone who knows me, Knows I love playing games. From the first thing in the morning until I go to bed at night, I love playing games. I started out loving to play hidden object games but my horizons expanded to other types of games. There are so many sites on the internet that offer all type of games or even just offer one type of game.

I, personally like the sites that offer a bunch of different types of games. From hidden object games, I have moved on to card games and even puzzle games. Some people tell me that I have no life but playing these type of games makes me happy. My family likes me to be happy.

I finally found a site that has it all! It is called Solitaire.org. Solitaire.org is a site that has it all and plus it is all ad free. They offer card games to hidden object games to word puzzle games to just plain basic solitaire games but not only just plain solitaire games. They offer well over Hundreds of Free Games For Everyone to Play! No matter what your genre is, They have a game for you or you can play multiple games during the day.

The history of Solitaire~

By the mid-19th century, Solitaire was popular in French high society, whilst in England, Prince Albert was known to be an enthusiast. The game didn’t make its way across the Atlantic to the USA until 1870 where it became known as Solitaire.

Solitaire grew in popularity among card players of all walks of life, but was given an immense boost following the advent of desktop computers. Microsoft Windows, a leading operating system, included a free version of Solitaire in 1990.

Many work hours were lost to this challenging game. Office workers the world over played the game, no doubt switching surreptitiously between active windows to hide their game playing from supervisors!

Fun fact. As the cards are laid out, you may notice a similarity to the way Fortune Tellers lay out their Tarot cards, revealing hidden secrets with each turn. An early version of Tarot emerged in Italy in the 1425. Solitaire was most likely influenced by fortune telling.

The above video shows you just how to play Solitaire. I love that they show you how to do everything. How to play. How to change games and even how the different scoring variations.

They even show you different strategies for playing solitaire and the other games. Most, but not all, games of Classic Solitaire are winnable. It is estimated that 79% of all possible games are winnable. If a game looks lost, don’t beat yourself up! Accept the loss and start again.

I am an Influencer and a good one at that. I only promote products and things I have personally used and love. This is why I highly recommend Solitaire.org. They have a game for everyone. I personally love anything free and this game is totally free. You really do need to give this site a try.
