^^^ I've never had it on crackers....but I sometimes eat lunch at a place that has a grilled prime rib sandwich with Boursin Cheeese. It's delicious on that.

Which Boursin?

I'm assuming the "Garlic and fine herbs" because that's the one that seems to be everywhere, but there are several flavors.

The garlic and FH flavor is great in an omelet!

I think these are pretty yummy.
They are pretty spicy. My opinion is that jalapeņo poppers should be made with cream cheese vs cheddar or other options that are out there.

^^^ I'd try those....don't think I've seen them in the store?
Normally in grocery food, the peppers aren't that strong (which is good)...I will look for them.

BTW...I was in Meijer today and looked at the Boursin Cheese. It came in a package that was the size of a thick Reese's Cup and it was $7....enough for 10 crackers.:D

Boursin isn't cheap, but it's tasty, and fairly strongly flavored, so it's probably good for more than 10 crackers.

Those jalapenos have a tendency of a fair amount of heat.

Yes, I've had it before (post 21) and like it...but was expecting more for that money.

I wish you hadn't post these, I have gained 10 pounds just thinking about how many I'm going to eat.

Boursin is pretty reasonable at one of my Costcos. It's strange how only one of them carries serious cheeses including a VT made small batch "smelly" cheese for $13 for a small round that would be $30 at the local cheese shop.

They need to be not overlapping while heating them up.

The Chick sauce really is a must.

If you are going to dip them, it has t be a good chunky Bleu Cheese dressing.

I keep a bag of Farm and Fleet Deluxe Mixed Nuts (No Peanuts) at my desk at work if my sugar gets low. If it gets really low, chocolate covered raisins from Farm and Fleet.

Always have fruit with lunch. The fruit salad above usually gets put in a good wine/brandy mixture for sangria. The fruit and liquid goes in the cup.

I would always take a salty over sweet snack. Popcorn every night to share with the pups. (no butter)

stevej37 08-20-2026 06:44 PM

^^^ I love popcorn....but it has to have butter on it. Land O' Lakes works good.:)

stevej37 08-31-2026 02:19 PM

Prob my favorite snack....Orvilles with a couple tbsp of melted Land O Lakes on top.
Perfect!

Frozen grapes. Freezing them really brings out the flavor.

I've never tried them that way, but it makes sense. I remember hearing that certain grapes in MI are left on the vine with a sandwich baggie around them until a few hard frosts. Then they are made into an expensive wine. Not sure if I got that all correct.

Crowbob would know...he's in wine country in MI.:)

Freezing concentrates the sugar or does something to the grape to make them sweeter. It's why ice wine is a desert wine. Grapes are harvested in the winter in NY.

Not a potato chip fan...but I like these things. Stax are much better than Pringles...imo
Mesquite Barbeque are my favorite.

What's the best potato chip?

In the first taste test of a three-part chip series, the Two Bald Guys try 7 different brands and rank them all. See if you agree with the top choice...

Americans consume nearly two billion pounds of potato chips a year. So as the New York Times's product-testing friends, we knew we owed it to our followers to review and rank the best in the industry.

We gathered around 20 chips — from classic lunch box staples to wacky alternatives — and asked Maxi's Kitchen's very own Maxine Sharf, Wirecutter’s Katie Quinn, and potato chip expert (and Wirecutter writer) Rachel Wharton to pick their favorites.
