I've always been a fan or Reese's mini peanut butter cups, but the other day I came across a dark chocolate version. YUM! Just a few of these will take care of your chocolate craving – with less guilt, of course, because they're small! That means they're almost like health food. Especially if you consider the beneficial antioxidants in dark chocolate and the protein in peanut butter (sugary as it may be)! These are not as widely available as we'd all prefer, but I found a couple of small packages at Walgreens. They're also available at a few other stores and online. Buying them "live and in person" helps guarantee that they're fresh. I've read some comments from some who have received melted together candy masses my mail. Wherever you find them, these are worth buying (and consuming immediately!). 4 stars. (They'd be 5 if we were talking about high quality chocolate.)

The Feit Electric LED Dimmable A15 60-watt bulb is rather funny looking – and quite expensive – but the package says it'll last 25,000 hours or 22.8 years. That's quite a claim. I went ahead and bought it to go in a ceiling fan light fixture. Although it touches the bottom of the "globe" on the light fixture, the bulb seems to run fairly cool, so I'm not concerned. What I wanted from this light is a decent color and light output, and it gives me both, thankfully! I do recommend this light. I like the mid-warm color (soft white; not too yellow, not too blue) light it emits. I've had it for about 3 months and have had no issues. Not sure that it will last the claimed amount of time, but if it lasts 5 years, I've gotten my money's worth. 4.5 stars. (Loses half a star for unattractive design.)

I have a sick person at home who requested Mrs. Grass Soup. Usually I keep plenty of Mrs. Grass 5-minute soup with the short, straight noodles and "golden flavor nugget." But my local store only carries Lipton and this type of Mrs. Grass soup (homestyle chicken noodle – see photo). Well, after cooking it up and adding my own pre-cooked chicken, I have to say, "I'm not impressed!" The broth is "just OK;" not nearly as good as the 5-minute boxed version. The broth is almost strange. I thought I could make it taste better by adding a bit more water, because it seemed like it needed diluting, but that didn't help! We'll go ahead and eat the soup, because it's there – and we don't want to waste it. After all, the packet says it makes 1/2 gallon! Hopefully the sick person in our house won't care much about the taste. 2 stars.

​10/11/16 Update. After refrigerating the soup overnight, the taste improved, the chicken softened up, and the product was overall better. The amount of vegetables is tiny, so this is basically more a chicken soup than a chicken vegetable soup. But I was amazed that the quality increased a few notches. Now I'd give it 3.25 stars. But keep in mind, we're talking about a mix, rather than homemade. So the product is receiving a higher rating than it would if I were judging homemade soup. I might actually buy it again in a pinch.

10/24/15 I recently bought some Mrs. Grass 5-minute soup, and guess what? It no longer comes with a golden flavor nugget! I was disappointed, because that's part of the "homeyness" of this product. On the bright side, the soup tasted the same. It gets 4 stars. (Would have more if the nugget wasn't gone.)
