Green Light Jerky / Hell, Yeah
To paraphrase Janice Soprano: I love jerky. She said “marrow” while sucking the gunk out of a broken bone, but me – I’d never stoop so low. Why bother when you possess the most-awesome beef jerky from either side of the Mississippi?
The Regular Guys (and their humble producer, yours truly) feasted on four beefy flavors that were sent to me by the cool cats at Green Light Jerky. My favorite (out of the four) was the Pepper Grinder. I also enjoyed the PRD (Prime Rib Dinner) [From Greenlightjerky.Com: “Seasoned with rosemary, thyme and horseradish, this one tastes like a PRIME RIB DINNER.” Yes it does.
That’s the thing with Green Light Jerky – it tastes like BEEF, not some processed piece of beef-flavored leather. If you’re a convenient store jerky-jerk, get with the program. Surf over to Green Light Jerky and get yourself some grown up snacks. Snap out of the Slim Jims and go Green (Green Light Jerky).

Reese's 100 Calorie Peanut Butter Wafers
The faceless Debra models today's snack.
Today's snack was the all-new Reese's 100 calorie Peanut Butter Wafter Bars. What a mouthful; the name, not the snack. These suck because they pretend to be a healthy alternative to candy bars when in fact, they are candy bars. Eating one package of these wafers is akin to your first screw. To borrow another snack's slogan: Once you pop, you can't stop.
Meh. I liked them better when they were called Kit-Kats. Reese's can do better than this. For example, last year they put out an Elvis-themed, limited edition peanut butter and banana creme Reese's Cup. Now that fuckin' ROCKED [and rolled].
TCB,

Bacon Popcorn
I like popcorn. I like bacon. Yesterday I found out I don’t like popcorn and bacon together. About a year ago I found this on Noshetiria, a recipe seemingly made for a pro-bacon / pro-popcorn guy like me. So I ran across the street to Kroger and picked up a package of Wright’s Brand naturally smoked, maple flavored bacon and a jar of Redenbacher’s original gourmet popcorn.
- One pack of bacon – your choice.
- Cook bacon, set on paper towels, pour grease into hot pan.
- Pop the popcorn in the bacon grease.
- Salt & pepper to taste, add crumbled bacon.

Popped Rice - Korean Delicacy?
It’s time for lip-smackin’, snack attackin’ – with your snack-expert-in-training, Tim Andrews (heretofore known as “The Snack Czar”). Let’s get our snack on.
Today, Larry brought in some Korean delicacies, courtesy of Super H Korean grocers. First, I tried the pound cake – which was more like a sweet roll than a traditional pound cake. It had lightness to it, and a sweet, creamy flavor. Might be good to cut in half for a bacon cheeseburger bun (I’ll try it). After that, we all tried the popped rice cakes.
The Official Map of Korea...there are TWO!
