Pop Pop's Homemade Raisins

Homemade raisins? I knew it was possible, but I never really thought about trying it. My dad was given a grocery bag full of grapes and knowing there was no way he could possibly eat them all before they went bad, he set off to make homemade raisins!


And thought it would be fun if we did a taste test with them. One of these came from the store, the other is homemade. We'll taste them blind and see what we think! Which one will be better? Let's find out!

Kit Kat Churro taste test comparison

A new Kit Kat flavor! We love trying all the different Kit Kat flavors

Walking through a local 7/11, Megan saw these at the counter. 
Megan - Joe, do you want to get them? 
Knowing how many taste test things I still have waiting to do, can you believe I actually said "No thank you."
Well, Megan wasn't about to let me slide and went ahead and bought one. Then the next day she went back and bought 2 more! Okay then, let's do a Kit Kat Churro taste test!


There are times when I would make my own churros to go with it, but in this case, Patrick and Megan picked up churros from Costco before coming over. Thanks!

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July! We had a great time at Patrick and Megan’s.

Megan and Patrick invited us over to have dinner and watch fireworks from their porch. We've got burgers, steaks, and more!

Dr Pepper Baked Beans taste test comparison

What's my favorite soda? It's got to be Dr. Pepper. In the 1880s, when Charles Alderton combined those 23 unique flavors into a carbonated beverage, he definitely had a winner. 

And when I saw that Dr. Pepper was teaming up with the Serious Bean Co. to make Dr Pepper Baked Beans, I knew I had to try them! 


But not just try them alone. Is Dr Pepper Baked Beans something I can make myself? Let's find out!
