Ever lost your digital camera? Or found one maybe and checked out the pics taken? Thanks to my bro for sending me the link to a site that posts pics from ‘found’ cameras all over the world in the hopes SOMEBODY will recognize them. The site doesn’t really have a name except ifoundyourcamera.net and that’s about it…it tells it like it is. I’m super proud to report the site is based in Canada and I think they’re doing a great job. We all know how important our photo’s are to us, so if you can help in identifying some pics or have some of your own to post- please do! Help these lost pics find the way home…
I blogged a little while back about the distressing fact My Guy and I could no longer find the PC Blue Label Meatless Beef Strips anymore. They appear to be gone from the coolers and the label has vanished…BUT there was a new product to be seen in the frozen section. I’d love to provide a link to it, but alas I can’t find it in the PC Blue Menu vegetarian (meatless) line up on the site. The product is called “Vegetarian Tips” and look like ‘beef tips’ or chunks. In my excitement of spotting this product I must not have read the packaging completely; I swear it said meatless beef on it…not just vegetarian tips. No worries because there is no meat in it, and it’s a combo of wheat gluten, soy protein and ancient grains. Really. I didn’t make that last part up, it truly says ancient grains. The taste was not identical to the meatless beef strips and now that I’ve looked at the actual packaging I can see why; it’s not the same product. I chose to brown it and then use in a stew and it was flavourful and tasty, the stew was a success, but I’m honestly not sure how it will stand up in one of my My Guy’s legendary stir-fry’s. Stay tuned.
Last weekend I tried a ‘new to me’ snack. I think the product itself is relatively new however and it’s called popchips. The tag line states, ‘think popped. Never fried. Never baked.’ The website states fried is fattening and baked is tasteless. How true. Anyway I scored a sample of the plain popchips and have to admit I was very impressed, and very intrigued to try more. A regular potato chip it’s not and I don’t think it will really satisfy that craving we sometimes desire….BUT it did satisfy my need to snack. It was a new sensation and not at all a bad one! The chips were light, really crunchy and airy (without being fluffy and empty!). I only had a tiny bag and was sad when it came to the end. I easily could have eaten more. I know what you’re thinking- what about the label?? I had the single serving packet and that came in at just 100 calories! I’m always looking for 100 calorie snacks because it’s a nice round number to track calories by. If you have snacks that equal 100 calories each, you can easily monitor what you’re eating between meals. The flavours available are amazing too! Chili Lime, Parmesan & Garlic and Cheddar to name a few. Check out popchips for your next snack.
