Telling you what to watch...Stranger Things Pt1

So the Mrs wanted to know why I had not reviewed Stranger Things; a new series on Netflix. The reason is I have not yet finished watching it. It is hard to tell you if something is worth your valuable time if I am not even halfway through it yet. However, this series is a bit different. I suggest you go watch it right now if you are a fan of Stephen King, John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg, 80's horror films, or 80s Sci-fi. There are so many easter eggs, nods too and homages that you will be dizzy trying to keep up. From the title card and theme music I was hooked. I have seen references too Jaws, The Thing, Poltergeist, It, Cujo, Stand By Me, Needful Things, ET, old video games, Fire Starter. The plot seamlessly weaves through all of this so it fits together and stands well on its own as a horror story. It would be a good story with out all the trimmings but the extra coat of nostalgia really sells it. And that's why you should watch before I find out if the show takes a giant fall. You will get a kick out of the story and characters and the setting and all the little details, at least for the first 5 episodes.

Telling you what to eat???

Spirulina Dream...spirulina...I went to the store to buy some cookies, so of course I bought a handful of protein bars, pickles chocolate milk and a few other things. SPIRULINA. I am a man who lives off protein bars, so every time I see a new kind I am almost compulsively driven to purchase them. Also, when I see something different than; peanut butter, peanut butter chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, mint, mint chocolate, chocolate chip, chocolate chip cookie dough, brownie, fudge brownie and salted caramel (which is usually a brownie bare with or without chocolate chips  with caramel drizzle over the top). spirulina.


I tore into the package as you can see above saw the color and Immediately googled Spirulina, feel free to click the link to read about it yourself. Its algae. it gives the bar a delightful deep green color.





It smells fruity with a hint of nuttiness. So I took a bite. What is that flavor? Second bite...no I know this flavor it tastes kind of like cashew cookie from Lara bar

If you look the two bars (aside from the green) (Hah, I referenced an aside in an aside). The two bars taste a lot alike, but the Spirulina is a lot greasier/oily texture. and reminds me of something...something...ahhh hahh!

SO there you have it, try a Spirulina Dream and decide for yourself?
