We just purchased our starting pile of cereal.  There was some coupon confusion and we ended up not getting any savings on the cereals.  I guess we did not buy enough of the right kinds or something like that.

Our booty

• Multi Grain Cheerios (General Mills)
• Fruity Pebbles (Post)
• Lightly Frosted Shredded Wheat (Post)
• Raisin Bran (Post)
• Corn Pops (Kelloggs)
• Special K (Kelloggs)
• Cinnamon Life (Quaker)
• Quaker Oatmeal Squares (Quaker)
• Quaker Old Fashioned Oats (Quaker)
• Original Cream of Wheat (B&G Foods)

Supplimenting this we purchased a pile of yogurt and a gallon of milk.

It felt really odd to buy a gallon of milk.  I have not purchased an entire gallon of milk in close to 10 years when I was living with 3 other guys and we drank the stuff like it was going out of style.  Normally we get the half gallon size and it rarely gets used.

Tomorrow the adventure begins!

Kellogg’s cereals were consumed around the globe with around 40% of the US ready-to-eat market. Kellogg’s had over 20 plants in 18 countries worldwide, with yearly sales reaching above US $6 billion. However, Kellogg’s was under pressure with competition from General Mills and other close rivals. The cereal industry had been stagnant for over a decade and Kellogg’s looked beyond its traditional markets in Europe and United States.

Kellogg’s decided that India is a suitable target for its cereal products. Kellogg’s thought that even if they can manage a two percent market share in India, they will have 18 million consumers, a market larger than the US itself. However, we Indians were not too used to this style of breakfast. So apart from marketing the product, Kellogg’s had an extra challenge to market this style of breakfast to Indians.

Initially, the sales figures were decent which indicated that the Indians are responding well. However, it soon became apparent that many people had bought Corn Flakes as a one-off, novelty purchase. Another big issue is its price, the product is too expensive for the Indian middle-class. Meanwhile, Kellogg’s didn’t reduce the price and decided to launch other products in India. Indian cereal buyers were introduced to Chocos, Rice Flakes, Wheat Flakes, All Bran, Honey Flakes and few other line extensions where none of them have managed to really succeed in a big scale.

Acknowledging its poor performance in India, Kellogg’s decided to sell biscuits as a strategy to establish its brand equity. Kellogg’s biscuits are produced only in India and there are six flavors – Chocos, Glucose, Chocolate Cream, Badam, Pista and Cashew.

Kellogg’s tried to bring in new breakfast habits to Indians, but the price of the product still restricts consumption to the urban consumers and affluent house-holds. Meanwhile Kellogg’s is trying hard to establish the company’s brand equity in the market. So it is to be seen if Kellogg’s experiments(like moving into snack food ) to strengthen its brand equity will be fruitful or not.

Normally I buy a few packs of baseball cards at the beginning of the year and then singles the rest of the year, so actually buying entire boxes of cards is new to me, but I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and post a box break of my own (two, actually).  Since I hadn’t seen anyone post these yet, I thought I’d do a box break of a couple of Kellogg’s Pop Tarts baseball card sets.

Kellogg’s has virtually flooded the market with these; besides finding them at Target or Wal-Mart, you can also find them at grocery stores, and even convenience marts. Interestingly enough, they do not (normally) have a hobby outlet.

I like how Kellogg’s has gone against convention with their Pop Tarts sets, and given them names like Strawberry, Blueberry, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, etc., and they have several glossy versions (which they refer to as “frosted”).  Product can be purchased in packs of 2, or boxes of 8, 12, or 16 cards.

^{Kellogg’s Pop Tarts boxes: 16-card glossy Cookies & Creme set; 8-card Brown Sugar Cinnamon set}

Packs contain only two baseball cards, and Kelloggs hasn’t been very forthcoming about insert odds (or whether there even ARE inserts).  Nor could I find any kind of checklist for their sets, which severely hampers set collectors.

The Brown Sugar Cinnamon box was the first one I tackled:

^{two of Kelloggs’ Brown Sugar Cinnamon base set cards (players unknown)}

I was sorely disappointed.  The card design is rather plain, with a sawdust-colored background and a pattern of indentations — and the player is obscured to the point of unrecognizability!  The backs are devoid of any stats, photos, or the like.  In addition, the collation was HORRIBLE — I apparently got all eight of the same card, although there were slight variations with each card.  Not happy.

I decided next to take a look at what I got in the 16-card glossy Cookies & Cream box.  While the box gives a cr@pload of information regarding Kellogg’s manufacturing process, again there is no indication of set size, insert odds, or anything else one might REALLY want to know.  Actually, I found it pretty unconventional that they didn’t even include a photo of Derek Freakin’ Jeter on the box, like every other brand of baseball card.

These cards are the same oversized dimensions as the Brown Sugar Cinnamon cards.  They fit comfortably in an Ultra•Pro four-pocket (see photo below), but as they are very thick, you will find your binders getting full in a hurry.

The background design on the glossy Cookies & Creme set is slightly appealing, but again the players are indistinguishable, and the backs are once more devoid of any stats or photos, and unnumbered.  And all 16 cards were the same — FIX YOUR COLLATION, KELLOGG’S!!  The fact that they were all Wal-Mart Black Border parallels and all appeared to be variations did not placate me AT ALL.

^{clockwise, from top left: Pop Tarts glossy Cookies & Creme Wal-Mart black border (player unknown); Pop Tarts glossy Cookies & Creme Wal-Mart black border (player unknown); Pop Tarts Brown Sugar Cinnamon (player unknown); Pop Tarts Brown Sugar Cinnamon (player unknown)}

Verdict:  While Kellogg’s Pop Tarts sets are different, the product itself is extremely disappointing, especially on a price-per-card basis.  In the long run, I doubt I could even trade my cards, so I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I may end up eating these. Oh, and I got NO TWINS.

Kellogg’s Company stock dropped sharply today as production problems at their Eggo plants in Georgia and Tennessee “caused a waffle shortage.”

The Company said the waffle shortage lowered the company’s fourth-quarter sales by 2 percent, and the stock is down 5%. See: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aqjyWpquFFmI

Rocky noticed the signs at his local grocery store that apologized for the Eggo shortage. Luckily, as part of his Y2K disaster preparation, Rocky kept a stockpile of waffles and Tang in his generator-powered underground bunker.

He’s currently checking the prices on Ebay to see whether he can unload his waffles at a profit.

A representative of the National Waffle Association, (yes, it exists), declined to comment on Rocky’s arbitrage activities.

[Disclosure: Trophy Wife is not fond of frozen waffles for breakfast. She's strictly a fresh banana and Special-K kind of gal.]

Back when I was just a wee young blogger, I posted a couple of times about products I found extremely tasty for a bargain-basement number of calories. Since lately I’ve been going over grocery shelves with a magnifying glass in search of new nosh to help me out of this slump I’m in, I thought I’d share some here.

Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Antioxidants Chocolatey Peanut Butter Bars
I love peanut butter. Like, a “could eat it with a spoon out of the jar” level of adoration. Anything with peanut butter in the title is going to catch my wandering eye at the store, guaranteed. After being recently burned by another new fiber product which shall remain nameless, I almost passed these up. To my relief, they’re delicious. Even more so if you warm them up for 10 seconds in the microwave (granted, I have to do this because I keep them in the freezer so I don’t eat 10 at once and drive away every friend I’ve ever had with the resulting flatulence).

Quaker Instant Oatmeal Lower Sugar Fruit & Cream Variety Pack
Breakfast in my household when I was a kid usually went along the lines of rummaging about in the oatmeal box for blueberry, strawberry, peach, or banana creamy goodness. (Which my mom then drowned in far too much milk, serving me a helping of oatmeal soup. Tragic, I know.) The fruity Quaker variety pack has remained a favorite, which is why I actually squeed in excitement when I found the new Lower Sugar version on the shelf. Each packet tastes just as delicious as the regular instant version, though I hope they will roll out with blueberry and banana flavors as well as the strawberries and peaches pack they currently sell.

Red Peppers
This isn’t exactly along the lines of the usual products I talk about, but in my further attempts to include my arch-nemesis, the vegetable, into my daily diet, I’ve started using red peppers quite frequently. I like spicy food in general – I enjoy the challenge inherent in taking on food that attempts to make me tearful/red in the face. My favorite thing to do is to pour some extra-virgin olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add chicken breast, garlic, finely chopped red peppers, some cajun seasoning, and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until the chicken is done. Sometimes I put the contents of the frying pan in a pita wrap (you can’t hate eating what you can’t see, right?) or else I’ll eat it just on its own and try to forget that a most-hated vegetable has taken up residence on my plate. Most of the time, it works.

Flatout Light Original Flatbread
Generally, I’m a bread girl.  So even though I had heard about the fantastic nature of all things Flatout for quite some time, I snubbed them in favor of my usual loaf.  But then, someone uttered the magic word: pizza.  Now, I’m a huge fan of using these wraps to make psuedo-pizzas since my daily points allowance doesn’t exactly allow for a huge helping of Domino’s every night, wish/pray/beg as I may.  Best recipe: heat your oven to 350, put one wrap on a cookie sheet and spread with 1/2 a teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil.  Bake for 3 minutes, then remove from oven (careful!), spread with 1 wedge of Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss, 1/4 cup of Contadina Pizza Squeeze, and 12 slices of Hormel’s turkey pepperoni.  Pop it back in the oven for another 7-8 minutes (longer if you like a crispier crust), and enjoy!

Thus ends my attempts to be all Martha Stewartish and give cooking advice.  And once again, a reminder that I do not receive compensation of any kind to promote these or any products.

I have just as much enthusiasm for Chicken Crunch as I do Fried Oreos and Kettle Corn. Good chicken doesn’t come from KFC, (Killer Fatty Chicken.) Though, I know of a good recipe for chicken from “Down Home with the Neely’s” called Get Yo’ Man Chicken. The recipe itself is designed to do just what its name says. I’m waiting for the Neely’s to develop a recipe called “Broke Up Wit’ Dat Douchebag Chicken.” Yum.

Until then, for lack of Panko bread crumbs, and a KFC (the local one went out of business soon after fraternity hooligans stole the drive-thru talk-box, twice… or at least that’s the word on the street) I decided to bread my chicken using the fruits of a sea-faring cereal fellow in a blue suit.

Chicken Crunch with Cap'n Sauce

Chicken Crunch with Cap’n Sauce

Ingredients:
chicken breast
1 egg
½ c. heavy cream or milk
4 cups Cap’n Crunch cereal
Flour
Vegetable oil

It took some trial and error to find the best way to coat, batter and fry my chicken.  If done improperly, the delicious Cap’n Crunch coating will fall off when fried. So, the Cap’n, which is mostly sugar, needs something to stick to. Solution:  dip the chicken in flour THEN the liquid, creating a starchy base for the Cap’n to stick to.

Having a coating on your chicken makes it more difficult to see when your chicken is fully cooked. As a rule, you want the outside of the Cap’n Chicken to be crispy golden brown when it’s taken out of the oil, so to make sure you have fully cooked chicken before your Cap’n starts to burn, (and it might because it’s a sugar in oil) the shape of your chicken is important.

Some adaptations of this recipe also use Kellogg’s Corn Flakes in addition to Cap’n Crunch, like Planet Hollywood’s. Here’s a link to that recipe on cdkitchen.com

!!!

I like to slice chicken breast so it’s about  ¾ inch thick. (You can buy chicken already cut this way in the poultry section of your supermarket.) You can cut into strips for easy finger food fun, or make them the size of your palm, it’s up to you.

Dip chicken in flour, then in an egg/milk mixture, and toss around in crushed Cap’n Crunch (almost a powder consistency, anything coarser will tend not to stick.)

Your oil should be on medium heat, and be a ¼ to ½ inch deep in your frying pan. Test your oil before putting your chicken in first, a piece of Cap’n dropped into the oil should crackle. Nothing is worse than trying to fry chicken in cold oil. It should take about 1 ½ to 2 minutes for each side of the chicken. If you have a splatter screen, use it. Lay chicken on a few layers of paper towel to soak up excess oil before eating.

Now, let’s get saucy. Yes, it will turn out pink. Yes, it will be an explosion of flavor in your mouth. Do not have qualms on eating your chicken with a sauce that is pink. Penne alla Vodka is “pink” too.

Cap'n Sauce Prep

Cap’n Sauce

1  T. Dijon mustard
2T. Red wine vinegar
2 T. Honey
Splash of lime juice
2 T. lemon olive oil (You can find it at Wegman’s)
1 t. soy sauce
1 t. grenadine (I like Rose’s brand)
Salt and pepper

Mix all of the above together in a bowl, and stirring fast with a balloon whisk constantly, emulsify ½ c. vegetable oil in.

I didn’t know what it meant at first either, so here it is:
Emulsify: to blend together liquids that are water-based with liquids that are oil-based. If you passed high school chemistry you know that oil is denser than water, and when the two are poured into the same container, will not mix. Unless… you persuade them. Mayonnaise is an emulsion.

The salad you see is a simple spinach, yellow pepper and tomato drizzled with a red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing.

I’ve been toying with the idea of joining a gym for months now.  Even before I started exercising, I visited some of the local gyms to better understand what I was looking for, and what I could expect.  I went to Planet Fitness and the local YMCA.  This was back in the Summer of 2008.  I never joined, and got fatter for a whole year.

Now that I am much healthier, I feel like losing these last two pounds is way more difficult.  Obviously, less to lose means you lose less.  And I’m not expecting one pound a week results…I just feel like I am at a standstill even though I monitor everything I eat and exercise for at least 30 minutes every day.  I think a gym would whip me into shape, much better shape, a lot quicker.  I’ve never been on a treadmill, stationary bike, or an elliptical machine.  I think my body would be in such shock at the switch that these last pounds would come off.  I’d also like to tighten up all over.

Problem is, working out at home is generally free.  If I am not watching a streaming video online off netflix, youtube, or Sparkpeople, I am watching one of the four exercise videos I own.  In total those cost me twenty-five dollars.  That’s less than one month’s membership at the Y!  I also love the ease of getting out of bed, putting on my workout clothes, and getting the job done.  Joining a gym would be essentially adding in the middle man of having to get up, dressed appropriately for the weather (right now, freezing winter), drive there (cost of gas!), and THEN get the job done.  I don’t trust myself that I would use the gym as often as I think I would.  Though the numerous classes offered daily at the Y are really tempting.  So is the pool and the workout equipment….!

Another one of my motivating fears is a fear of sweating in front of other people.  I sweat.  A lot.  I am sure that everyone sweats a lot, but I don’t really want to test that theory.  I have read other people’s blogs about people phoning it in at the gym.  So while I am working my hardest, panting, grunting, sweat-soaked through and through, I don’t want to look over at some skinny thing posing on her treadmill.  I guess that is just something I would have to deal with as the time came!

Enough about the gym.  I went to BigLots today because sometimes you can find good food at cheap prices.  I picked up some Kashi GoLEAN Crunchy Bars for 80 cents each.  Next door, at Shaws, they are 1.79 each.  BigLots only had the Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Peanut, and Chocolate Almond flavors, but for 150-180 calories each (as well as 6 grams of fiber and 9 grams of protein) I’d eat any flavor!  I also picked up some of my favorite shredded wheat, Kellogg’s brand, as well as some Gerber products.  Here me out on this one:  No, I don’t have a baby.  But they had little 70 calorie juices, Mango Pineapple Carrot, four for one dollar!  They are pretty small, but each has a serving of fruits and vegetables.  Lord knows, I don’t get enough veggies.  I also picked up some Gerber Fruit Chewy Granola Bars for Preschoolers.  There are six in the package for one buck.  80 calories each.  I figured they would be good to carry in my purse in case I get hungry!

Well, I think that was sufficient for my first post.  If anyone could tell me some pros and cons of joining a gym, as opposed to working out at home, that would be GREAT!!!

Note on Reputation Management The social web is a great enabler for Big Brands and even Nations to defend their vision, values and spread the social ly responsible word about them. It helps when you have a few friends and Facebook, but more often, Twitter is providing the marketing biggies an opportunity to correct the ship’s course and monitor it every minute of the day. It could even save a few lives. Of couse there will be in the end a coalesced corporation or two that will do just this for the brands and for the consumers a couple of years down the line, but till that happens, everyone needs to lend a hand

Biggest meal of the day for me, although it doesn’t seem like a lot, it’s enough.

I’ve been looking around for information on different snack bars which are out there to see what I can add to my diet to give me some variation to the normal fruit I eat.  You know how it is, eventually you want something different so you pick up something which you associate with being healthy.

Well I have been looking around on the internet to get nutritional information about things billed as healthy.  It’s quite surprising to find that they aren’t as health as they appear to be.

A Kellogg’s special K bar is promoted as having only 90 calories.  That’s all well and good being that low in calories, but a staggering 38% of the contents of one of those bars (approximately 42g) is sugar.  Anything with that percentage of sugar cannot really be classed as healthy.  In fact that level of sugar in something so small would make up just short of 18% of your recommended daily allowance of sugar.  Eighteen percent from ONE bar.

Kellogg’s are at least a little better with their nutri-grain bars, they weigh in with only 12g of sugars in their low fat bars.  Just under one third of the bar is sugar.  That’s a little over 13% of your RDA in sugar from one bar.  They kindly miss this percentage off the nutritional label though, instead pointing out the low percentages of other things deemed bad for you.

Whilst looking around I also looked at a product I don’t know much about, but a lot of people have mentioned for their snacks; granola bars.  I wanted to see how these compared.  As I know nothing about them, I put “granola bar” into google which brought up a link to the Nature Valley website.  They do them so I thought “let’s have a look”.  I chose their Oats ‘n’ Honey bar as this seemed to be the simplest one there with good natural ingredients.  It should be noted that a single serving is said to be two of these bars, so for a fair comparison with the Kellogg’s bars above, I am going to use those figures.  A granola bar serving, which from what I gather is supposed to be pretty much natural ingredients and healthy, contains as much sugar as the nutri-grain bar.  Nature valley pull the same trick as Kellogg’s and don’t  list the percentage of sugar which is contained in the bars.  Some of the other flavours they offer have 11g of sugar in the bars, but that’s still over 10% of the RDA from one small portion of a supposed healthy snack.

Surely with the sweet ingredients that are already used in these products, they don’t need to add sugar to them, do they?

I’ll have to have a look into healthy snacks which are available which don’t contain insane amounts of sugar for a future post.

From all of this, I think granola bars could be a really healthy snack, but you would have to make them yourself, and remember to leave out the sugar.  There’s food for thought.

It looks like Kellogg’s is going to close off portions of Jackson Street, McCamly Street and Hamblin Avenue.

Within the Consent Agenda, contains the following resolution:

57. A Resolution setting a Public Hearing on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, for the purpose of reviewing and receiving public comment on a request to vacate portions of Jackson Street, McCamly Street, and Hamblin Avenue.

Tonight’s agenda (January 19, 2010)

This resolution is just setting a public hearing for public input.  Seems simple.  It is.   Typically when resolutions like this come before the city commission, in the same meeting there is a resolution directly after the public hearing for approval.  Typically the entire commission rubber stamps the resolution.  Majority of the time public does not comment.  Knowing this the City Manager’s Report which is published before the meeting, shows approval for the resolution before the public hearing starts.

A City Manager’s Report basically tells the commissioners what his/her office thinks about each resolution.. basically gives a thumbs up or thumbs down).  The City Manager’s Report is usually published within the meeting agenda, which the link can be found on this page for the meeting agenda.

For a while now the city newspaper, along with WWMT Channel 3 News disclosed that only a portion of Jackson Street was to be vacated.  I have not seen any updates in any news reports showing all three streets will be affected.

The drawings included in this request are not meant for the general public to understand.  Myself do not understand them.  It’s really unclear that they are going to close additional streets.  And my just be vacating the right of ways of these streets.

Bottom line.. The resolution is vague and for the general public to comment, unless they knew how to read these drawings, would not be possible.  I hope in tonight’s City Commission meeting they fully explain what is going to happen.

and here’s a Corn Flakes ad from inside:

“why do we always say we’re fine,
when it’s obviously we’re lying?”

from The Classic Crime – When The Time Comes – Seattle Sessions EP

iTunes Link: The Classic Crime – Seattle Sessions EP

While my cousins from New Zealand have been staying with us, they have brought some unusual recipes. Baked beans Toastie – yep baked beans in a toasted sandwich. Nice but a little messy to eat with all that sauce oozing out.

With time running out, before they fly back home, Sheetal promised to make Afghans Cookies – a Kiwi favourite. A chocolate and cornflake cookie topped with chocolate icing and a walnut. You’ll only be able to eat one at a time, because they are incredibly rich but absolutely divine.

The best thing was that they were so easy to make. I’ll quote Sheetal on one thing – “You have to use Kellogg’s , they have the perfect crispy-ness”

While the origin of the name is uncertain, there is one thing for sure, the biscuits are delicious and really easy to make. Just remember that it’s important to use unsweetened corn flakes otherwise the biscuits will be too sweet. I use the Kellogg’s brand.

Ingredients:
• 200 grams of butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup of castor sugar
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened corn flakes (Kellogg’s)
• ICING
• 1 cup of icing sugar
• 2 Tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 Tbsp water
• Walnut halves

Preparation:
1. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4 (180C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Set aside.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Sift together the flour and cocoa powder and mix into butter mixture with a wooden spoon. Fold in cornflakes and don’t worry if they crumble.
4. Roll or press 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls of the dough into balls and flatten them slightly. Place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
5. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
6. Prepare the icing by combining the icing sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder and water in a bowl. Mix well until the mixture is free of lumps and of a creamy consistency.
7. Spoon a little icing on each cookie and then decorate with walnut halves

Enjoy!
