Great Mail Day Today!

It was a good mail day today!

The photo here shows all that came in the mail, as well as some freebies from Superstore last night.



Today I received my Mario Badescu samples, which were:
- healing & soothing mask
- collagen moisturizer
- drying cream
- special cucumber lotion
- dermonectin eye cream
- enzyme cleansing gel

There were two other items listed in my recommended products, but, the samples weren't available - which is too bad. They were the buffering lotion and drying lotion. I can't wait to try the samples - THANK YOU Mario Badescu!!

- 3 crystal light samples with 75 cent off coupon

I did use my Cottonelle wipe coupon (only pays up to $3.49). Went to our local drug store where I have a discount card. The shelf price was $4.49, with my discount, dropped the price down to $2.95 (plus .44 tax). total came to $3.39 - and the coupon was applied to the total after tax, so I didn't pay a cent!!!


Hope there is more excitement next week!

Is Man V Food is a bad influence?

We love watching Man V Food (we only get re-runs here in Canada). Last night was the episode that featured the Sonora Dog. What's a Sonora Dog you ask? It is a bacon (yes, bacon) wrapped hot dog, and for toppings: chopped tomato, onion, shredded cheese, red chili sauce, beans, mayo, ketchup, mustard and chopped jalapenos. I did these on the BBQ and secured the bacon with toothpicks (and they are double wrapped!! 2 slices per dog).




But, this is interesting. Here is the cover of a recipe booklet from Canada Packers (est. 1927). Canada Packers was a meat
packing and processing and is now part of Maple Leaf foods (1991). Notice anything interesting here...the Canadian version of the Sonora Dog!! In the booklet, they were referred to as Deluxe Dogs - and man 'o man, they are deluxe!! I highly recommend these delights if you are having one of those "don't give a crap about my cholesterol" days.

These are so easy to make. You literally wrap the hot dog (fresh out of the package) with a full slice of bacon. I wrap on the diagonal so that the bacon looks like a spiral (just like on the cover). You can fry them in a pan on the stove, or on the bbq. I prefer mine with cheese, ketchup and mayo.

Just like the old Alka-Selzer commercial: "Try it, you'll like it"
