Clancy’s Tortilla Chips – 2015
The bag changed. I’m not sure when. Have the chips changed? The answer is no. They are still the same chips, same price, same calories. That’s good.

Trader Joe’s Kenya AA Coffee
There’s nothing wrong with this coffee. But then there’s also nothing that jumps out about this coffee either.

Trader Joe’s Vegan Tikka Masala
This is another fine Indian-style frozen entrée from Trader Joe’s. At $3.49 it’s a little on the pricey side when compared with other frozen entrées, but not pricey when compared with going out for lunch.

Goat Milk Gouda – Polder Blanc – Trader Joe’s
This is a rather nice medium soft cheese with a little bit of tang to the taste (TTTT). It’s not the same kind of tang as an aged Gouda, nor is it as difficult to cut. I’m going to assume this tang comes from the goat’s milk.

Prosecco – DOC – Mario Collina – ALDI
The first surprise for this wine is the screw cap. The screw cap is most likely there as a little insurance for the extra pressure in the bottle. This is a mildly carbonated wine – bubbly.

Moser Roth Chili Chocolate
This one doesn’t work for me. The dark chocolate is excellent and totally hides the chili until about a minute later when the heat from the chili starts to warm the throat building up over the next two or three minutes to a low burn and mild chili taste. My preference would’ve been that the chocolate taste linger. While chocolate and chilies may work in a mole sauce, it’s not a combination that works for me in this chocolate bar.
