This weekend I opened my fridge and found this can of Organic Batter Blaster. Now, I generally love all foods that come in a spray can: cheeze, whipped cream, icing, but pancakes?

The spray can makes people think “how can it be organic.” Despite the environmentally unfriendly delivery mechanism, the ingredients are what make it organic: Filtered water, Organic wheat flour (unbleached), Organic cane sugar, Organic whole egg solids, Organic soybean powder, Sodium lactate (lactic acid from beet sugar), DiCalcium phosphate (leavening agent), Sea salt, Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), Organic rice bran extract, and a Propellant.  Hmm, not sure about that last one.  I think they must be required to list the propellant on the can even though you don’t ingest any propellant.

Strangely enough in the very next check-out aisle was the “milk chocolate” version. Of course I had to buy a bunch of both bags and bring them home for a taste test.  (UPDATED 12/4/08)

Let’s face it, part of getting through a night of any heavy tech work (coding, editing, or DVD authoring) is good snack options. When I see something new it’s in my nature to want to try it out. And from time to time a snack shows up that has a little bit of technology inside of it. So when I noticed an over-priced premium version of M&M’s in the snack aisle I was curious.  What could possibly make a 6 oz package of M&M’s worth $4? Once they went on sale 2 for 1, I was overtaken by temptation and bought a couple of boxes.  oooohhhh.. look a the pretty package.  (UPDATED) Read… »
