Hamburger Helper

I don't know why but it's been awhile since we've had Hamburger Helper.  I blogged about it in September but I wanted to add to that post.

I went to the store to buy something for lunch and also wanted something for dinner.  I sat and thought about what I wanted before I left to go to the store and Hamburger Helper entered my mind.  We used to have it all the time or whenever it was 10 for $10 at the store.  I'd buy like 10 of them and just keep them in the pantry until we wanted it.

I'm so glad I thought about it but when I went to the aisle that the hamburger helper was on I was overwhelmed with the variety of helper products.

It's not just hamburger helper.  But then again they've had Tuna helper since I was a kid at least.  I seem to recall some time in the late 80's or maybe early 90's when I first started seeing Chicken Helper.  But I could be wrong, I wasn't really paying attention to the chicken helper.  They actually have more than 60 different flavors.

There is so much of a variety of helpers that I just find it so hard to decide.  If you know you want a particular meat like hamburger or tuna or chicken then your choices are at least slimmed down a bit but even still there are so many choices.

I'm a simpleton, I like the original hamburger helper that's like macaroni and cheese with meat.  I do like to get the stroganoff sometimes and the nacho.  We also like the tuna helper.

But I'm sure you don't have to be limited to tuna, chicken and hamburger.  I'm sure you can put some other meat in there like say you want meat balls instead or you want to use ground turkey which is actually a lot leaner and healthier choice.  Or you can add ground sausage meat or even maybe spam ground up.

I'm sure all the hunters just love deer helper or bear helper.  Maybe they might like some other kinds of meats like maybe possum helper or road kill helper.  The possibilities are endless in the flavors you can have.  Even cannibals on the islands can have people helper.  There are even people in different countries (which I will not name for fear of being sued) who might like dog helper or cat helper.  Oh and cowboys and jockeys who have a horse with a broken leg don't have to lose out.  They can have horse helper.

No?  Did I go too far with the horse helper?  Or was it all the way back to the people helper?  Oh come on, that was funny, don't deny you are laughing out loud.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a product that does exactly what it says it does on the commercials.  Wow, I just never knew that it would work that well.  Chip doesn't like buying things that he sees on the commercials because 9 times out of 10 they don't do what they say they are supposed to do because you can usually buy the generic brand and it does the same exact thing.

Our tenant next door left the house just filthy when he moved out.  It took me 2 hours yesterday to clean out the refrigerator.  The freezer was completely covered in mold because his electricity got shut off.  There was this one spot on the fridge door that was just so beyond gross.  It was a build up of something, I don't know what.  All I know is that it was so gross and it would not come up.

I gotta go back there today after I eat my lunch and clean the stove top and the oven so I bought some oven cleaner and I bought a package of magic erasers because I know if anything will clean that stove it will be the magic erasers.

I just did a test with 1 of the 2 that were in the package on our stove.  There are these certain spots that I just cannot get clean.  Although, when I try it's usually with just a wash cloth and soapy water from the dish soap so in all fairness I'm not really trying that hard.  But the magic eraser got it all up real fast and the stove was sparkling clean.  Wow, I just couldn't believe it.  With very little effort too.  Just amazing.

I'm going to have these on hand from now on because this is an amazing product that does exactly what they say it will do.  In a world of false advertising, it's nice to see a company who is actually telling you the truth.

Most Popular Post

I've been looking at what the most popular posts are on my blog and I've noticed that the KFC Dollar Menu post has gotten some way unusual attention since I posted it.

I guess there are just a lot of people out there who really want to know what that is all about since their commercials are basically lying to people saying that all those things are $1 when they aren't.

Although I haven't had many comments on that post, I did get one that I deleted because I don't accept insult comments, the person said "you suck" and I thought it was funny but I still deleted it.  I can only assume that that person works for KFC lol.

I have seen a lot of activity on my website but only 0.5% of the people looking actually post a comment.  I would love it if more people would please comment and tell me what you think of a post whether it is positive or negative or someone correcting me.  Otherwise I'm going to think that all my hits are just spiders.

While it's neat having the KFC Dollar Menu post as my most popular, I'm going to try and top it some day.  It will be tough because that is a hard act to follow lol.
