Sprout Master Mini Triple Review

Sprout Master Mini Triple
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These smaller sized Sprout Master sprouters are great for smaller batches of leafy sprouts or bean sprouts. The optional tray dividers makes it easy to make small batches of as many as six different sprouts at a time. The larger tray would be better for big batches, but using these trays in concert can achieve the same effect. For most people (not feeding too large a family), I would suggest starting out with these and evaluating whether you often want to make larger batches than you can manage in a single smaller tray.
There are four "lids" that come with this set and are all exactly the same. Put one below to catch any water and use the one on top if you want to block off light (this helps prevent the growth of green leaves, which is usually how bean sprouts are grown). With four lids and three trays you'll find it necessary to stack the trays if you want to cover more than one at a time. The Sprout Master's drainage holes allow excess water to drain off very effectively.
If you've sprouted in a jar before, you'll probably find this to be much easier. Hold the tray under running cool water two or three times a day, then allow excess water to run off before putting the tray away. The sprouts should be thoroughly rinsed to prevent spoilage, kept moist at all times, but not allowed to sit in water. (By comparison, with jar sprouting you'd need to fill and drain the jar of sprouts repeatedly to rinse the sprouts well, then it's more difficult to get them properly drained.)
One minor complaint is that some of the smallest seeds can get caught in the drain holes. In my experience, broccoli is large enough to be safe, but with alfalfa or clover you might get a few seeds stuck. When you're cleaning the tray after use you may need to get a small poking instrument to knock one or two out again. The "Easy Sprouter" device doesn't have this problem, but allows slightly less light to reach your sprouts because of it's shape. Neither is a very significant complaint, and I find that the Easy Sprouter gets sufficient light for most purposes.

Have started sprouting again and am enjoying these seeds. I use them in my salads and sandwiches. They add a good crunch and help with a flavor bite. The amount of radish seeds seem to give the right spice to the mixture.

Peter Rabbit Organics, Organic Mango, Banana and Orange 100% Pure Fruit Snack, 3.5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 10) Review

YUM! Our 17 month old daughter loves them. When we heard about these new pouches, they were a _must try_. We couldnt decide on a fruit combination, so we ordered a case of each. This worked out well, because the order qualified for amazons free shipping. They arrived very quickly in easy to open cases.
We consolidated them to a box in the pantry so we could get to them faster and because those pouches can kind of slide around. :) Our daughter is all about choices right now and so we let her decide which one she'd like to try first. She looked carefully at each of them then said "NANA! ARN! BUH-NEE! HOP! HOP!" and so chose the Mango, Banana and Orange...and it remains her favorite of the three (although, she would never give up the others if offered).
Now, the plane ride...we recently took a trip to visit grandma from San Jose to Austin - a 4+ hour airflight that we were somewhat nervous about. We packed our fruit pouches and other goodies. It became a special treat as we rolled out to the tarmac and then took off into the sky. She happily ate and when she was done, sat quietly and contently looking at the pouch...pointing at the bunny and the orange and the banana, (we told/showed her there was a mango too).
When we ran out of pouches, we went to the whole foods - but they were not yet available there. They did have another brand, which we reluctantly purchased because unlike the peter rabbit pouches - the cap was so tiny, it could be a serious choking hazzard should it get into the hands (or mouth) of our little lady. The combination was also different and she didnt really care for the other kind as much.
Though she cant say alot of words, she does sign quite a few and she runs to the pantry, points and signs "more, please...more please!! please!!" Which is pretty funny to see.
We took some video the day they arrived, I'll have to see if I can find it and post as part of the review.

not having a lot of choices in puppy food at the local store, i was glad they had Cesar. Toy Fox Terrier puppies have a very sensitive digestive system and mouth/teeth. this is good quality and texture. also at a small 3.5 oz. container, it's the perfect amount. no leftover or waste. this is perfect for small breeds and they love it. mixes well with dry food too.

Bullet Express Meal Maker Trio Standard Mixer Food Processor and Juicer in one Amazing Machine Review

Bullet Express Meal Maker Trio Standard Mixer Food Processor and Juicer in one Amazing Machine

(More customer reviews)
I fell victim to the infomercials and actually did something I NEVER do: I bought the Bullet Express from an infomercial. I couldn't wait for it to arrive, and bought lots of fruits and veggies to try in it. I carefully unpacked and washed all the parts, and familiarized myself with the directions for use. Then on the very first us, it BROKE! The cheapo piece of plastic in the shredder blade cooked, and disintigrated. When I called to arrange a refund, I was told that they do not refund the bogusly overinflated shipping and handling fees. And when I loudly complained about having to pay for nothing, they magnanimously offered to send a pre-paid return label. I tried calling again to talk with a supervisor about refunding the S&H fee, and was again denied. I can't believe that I shelled out $29.99 and have nothing to show for it, but high blood pressure and feeling like a fool for being victimized by a crummy company that makes it's money on bogus shipping and handling, in exchange for sending you useless crap in the mail.

Demeter Fragrance Library - Plants & Trees - Home Atmosphere Room Spray Collection Review

Demeter Fragrance Library - Plants and Trees - Home Atmosphere Room Spray Collection
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
....lately the products have been hit or miss.
I recently tried Sticky Toffee Pudding in the 4 oz room spray and it's definitely become my favorite -- I can't get enough of it! On the other hand, my mother loves the Waffle Cone and I ordered her 2 bottles from the Demeter website ($14 each, plus flat rate shipping) and they came smelling nothing like the waffle cone she loves. It almost smells rancid like whiskey. There's no problem with exchanges -- that's what their website says anyway. I don't know if it's the room spray version that is bad or if they reformulated, but I'm going to send it back and pay the extra for the cologne version.
As for other scents I've tried:
Sugar Cookie - Very very sweet. A little too sweet for me.
Brownie - An artificial chocolate smell, but not offensive. Doesn't last very long.
Graham Cracker - Hard to find the scent in the sea of alcohol in the product.
Waffle - Very maple syrup-y.
Strawberry Ice Cream - Very artificial owerpowering scent. Almost like a very concentrated strawberry Quik. (Strawberry milk powder brand.)
Scottish Shortbread - There is some sort of oil in the mixture and when it arrived it was nearly frozen. I didn't care for this smell either. sort of an almond cookie smell but also masked by the alcohol smell.
Mojito - Ick. My mom received this as a promo item somewhere and it smells like a hospital to me! I'm not sure which component of Mojito smell is doing that to it, but I'd pass.
There's a Jelly Belly line scent that has something to do with blackberries. It was a pretty harsh scent. Not light and airy -- very contrived and strong. Over the top but not in a good way. Same goes for the Blueberry Muffin in the Jelly Belly line.
Vanilla Cake Batter - Not very exciting. Very vanilla, not very cakey.
I reviewed the Rubber and Mesquite scents on Amazon somewhere -- pass on those.
Before you invest the money, go to the Demeter site and get the $5 1/2 oz splash version of the scent you like. Or just get the Sticky Toffee Pudding. ;)

Ball Plastic 8-Ounce Freezer Jars, 5 Pack Review

Ball Plastic 8-Ounce Freezer Jars, 5 Pack
Average Reviews:

This is one of those rare products that is very cheap and yet well-made. I like to make fresh juice for drinking later. Since juice doesn't stay fresh long, you want to seal it really well, preferably in a canning jar with an airtight lid. Since canning jars are rather heavy to carry around, I tried these. Heck, for pocket change, I'll try anything.
They're perfect! While the little lid looks flimsy, it actually provides such a solid seal that I can bounce it around in my purse and it does not leak. What's more, my homemade juice tastes like new when I crack it open, better than a glass jar. They are made from durable #5 plastic, which is one of the re-usable types least likely to leach bad stuff into your beverage. After I drink my juice, I seal them back up so they don't dry up and that makes it a breeze to clean it when I get home by just running a quick sponge over it. I've used them for juice, salad dressing, yogurt, sauces... nothing has stained the plastic yet. I haven't tried them in a microwave or dishwasher; I don't know if I would because I'd hate for the lid to warp.

I don't know a lot about dogs but I thought they ate anything. The dachshund we had growing up would eat banana peels if you left them out. We rescued a Maltese (5 years ago now) and while he is healthy, he eats when he's hungry and leaves the rest. He's never like doggy treats, bones etc. and prefers human food/meat to anything for dogs. Since I've read dry food is best for dogs we feed him dry but again, he eats when hungry but doesn't lick his chops. Cesar is the best dog food I've found to add to the dry for taste. We get at least 4 feedings from one container, which make it pretty cheap. We simply mix a spoonful into the dry food for flavor and he's got the best of both worlds. If I could find a dry food tasty enough to be served solo, I would buy it but he eats such a small amount of food I don't mind making it tasty.

My 10 year old maltese if very picky when it comes to eating dog food. Since starting her on this product she has "cleaned" her bowl each day with no problem. I also like the packaging; it is very easy to store and select one meal without having to sort through a pile of dog food.

Whiskas Purrfectly Fish Tuna Entree in Natural Juices Food for Cats, 3-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 24) Review

Whiskas Purrfectly Fish Tuna Entree in Natural Juices Food for Cats, 3-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 24)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My cat is 15 years old, and has NEVER liked a kitty treat in her life - the only non-dry cat food she would ever eat was REAL tuna fish juice, drained from the can (and never mind the tuna). She has also had what I affectionately call a "tender tummy", meaning that every few weeks, since she was a kitten, she has had vomiting episodes that last a day or so and then disappear again. No explanation. Basically, I've just had to find cat food for her that matches the carpet on the way back up. Ew.
About a year ago, she stopped eating all together, and I was worried that she and I had reached the end of her long life. In actuality, she had just decided she no longer liked the IAMS senior she had eaten for 10 years, was going on a hunger strike that put her in the ER Vet with failing kidneys due to dehydration.
Enter Wiskas Purrfectly Fish Tuna (in the pack of ten, with the sardines and Whitefish/tuna mix). She instantly started eating again, and her health returned in a matter of days. AND, no more random vomiting!! She even deigns to eat dry cat food once a day to supplement the moist stuff - I'm using IAMS young adult (orange bag), and have had no problems there either.
She has her preferences with the Wiskas, don't be deceived. She will ONLY eat the purrfectly fish, NOT any other flavor, and really doesn't prefer the sardines (neither do I). The tuna entree with the whitefish is often only halfway eaten, but the tuna entree alone is always finished, which is why I was so happy to see it for sale here by itself.
One complaint, though. My kitchen now smells like dead fish. But, to save my carpets, her health, and my sanity, I'll sacrifice a little smell.
