Jerrell’s Betr Brgr

Image
“A new late-night vegan burger joint with locations in NYC and NJ, serving 100% plant-based burgers, fries, chili, shakes and soft serve.” I have yet to master a plant-based burger recipe at home so  I tried the O.G. BETR for lunch, $12:   DOUBLE BETR BRGR with impossible patties, vegan cheddar, lettuce & tomato, grilled onions, pickles, and Jerrell’s special sauce. The O.G. was worth the $12, the burger was flavorful with the right texture, the vegan cheese was pleasant, it isn’t always, and the extras were savory, salty but good. I have reservations about the genetically modified Impossible patties, but they’re not something I eat constantly. Balanced the satisfying O.G. with a piece of fruit for the better nutrition play. But that wouldn’t stop me from trying the loaded chili fries and oat milk soft serve next time around. #hoboken #theOG  #ogbetter

Trader Joe’s Tomato Leaf scented candle for spring is …different.

Image
I sort of like this different candle for Spring? It’s zingy and nicely balanced with Bergamot, Rhubarb and Geranium. These scents bring out the neglected range of the tomato:   herbal, fruity and floral. But the scent is really, really strong. Does it have the distinct smell of tomato plants?   Nah. Once again, with Trader Joe’s candles, they could make a lid that better fits at the bottom. At $9.99, serving up competition to Sand + Fog is a good thing, and we’ll see what TJ’s comes up with next in the world of aromas.

Everchanging nature…

*Opinions! “America rules! Our Beatles are way better than your precious Rolling Stones!” - Homer Simpson. Stones lore. I am a lifelong Beatles fan and prefer them to The Rolling Stones. For younger people, there was a rivalry, at least a press created rivalry, back in the day.  The worshipful tone gets in the way of the mostly excellent narrative. Still just not that into them but would read the sequel, since the Stones have kept rolling on from the 1980s.                                             “America rules! Our Beatles are way better than your precious Rolling Stones!” - Homer Simpson. I am a lifelong Beatles fan and prefer them to The Rolling Stones. Young people probably aren’t aware that there was a media contrived rivalry between them back in the day. In retrospect, there's no comparison. The Beatles couldn...
