Pucker up...Tart

If you love tart you'll love Hubert's Lemonade- Raspberry Lemonade! It's a flavor explosion in your mouth.

This Hubert's Lemonade flavor is much more sour than the others we've had. Now, I'm not someone that prefers sour or tart so Raspberry Lemonade wasn't my favorite. But here's what is good: Lots and lots of flavor! You can taste the freshness. You can taste the raspberry and lemons. It doesn't taste sugary or artificial. It tastes like tart fruit.

So to recap, I didn't love the Raspberry Lemonade as much as I've love the other flavors. But I'm still a huge Hubert's Lemonade fan! I still haven't tasted all of Hubert's Lemonade’s flavors. But I can't wait to. I'll check in later with a new flavor, and a new review.

Side note, had to run a errand to Best Buys this weekend. As I walked out the store, there was a family of three (Mom, Dad, and son about 10). They were standing outside the store talking. Something caught my eye... the Dad was carrying a bottle; it was a Hubert's Lemonade bottle. It's distinct shape, yes, I knew immediate what it was. The father and son were drinking Hubert's Lemonade. The mom was drinking something else. Just thought it very interesting that I saw them with the smiling lemonade bottle!

It's still gross...

Update on my son’s finger… from when he crushed it.
(Click here to read and see what originally happend.)

He has had two appointments with the specialist. The first one was about 10days after the incident. They took another X-ray, again, everything looked good. The doctor said that the technician in the ER did a really good job at cleaning it out and stitching the nail back in. (

She said ALMOST ALWAYS with the type of injury he had where the nail pops out from the cuticle end there are broken bones. She said he is very lucky!! She again said that the nail will fall out. She also said the new nail might grow back in with some ridges on it.

She wanted to leave the stitches in for another week. He had the second appointment his past Monday where they took out the stitches. The doctor said everything looks good. She said to keep an eye out for infection. The nail/nail-bed area is now getting black. It still looks gross.

I will try and post a picture so you can see the progress.

I like me some Buckwheat Pancakes!!

I like to eat Buckwheat Pancakes. I like them best off the griddles with some butter, no syrup. My favorite ones to make where the Aunt Jemima brand of Buckwheat pancakes. They have sadly discontinued making it. I actually w rote to them a while back inquiring about it and they did say they discontinued them. Bummer! It was something I remember eating as a kid, and enjoying with my Dad. I’ve tried other mixes but have not enjoyed them.

I did find online a recipe given out by someone at Aunt Jemima. I have tried it and must say it is pretty darn close to the original. It calls for dark buckwheat flour but I could not find it, so I got the regular kind. So, go ahead, get out the mixing bowl, turn on the griddle and enjoy some Buckwheat Pancakes!! Let me know what you think of them!! I thought… YUM!

Make buckwheat pancakes by using Aunt Jemima Original pancake mix and buckwheat flour. The recipe is listed below for you:

Ingredients:
3/4 cup (175 ml) Aunt Jemima Original pancake mix
1/3 cup (75 ml) buckwheat flour (purchase dark flour)
1/2 tsp (2 ml) baking powder
Directions:
Stir dry ingredients together and add milk and egg as per package instructions.

No, the otter one...

Who will win??

It tastes like America

Review for Hubert's Lemonade
Original Lemonade Flavor
by My Husband



Hubert's Lemonade Original is a hit! Close your eyes, take a sip and be transported back to the corner lemonade stand when you were a kid. Well, maybe if lived in Mayberry. I grew up in Los Angeles, but this is what I imagine the neighborhood lemonade stand's cool refreshing drink would have tasted like. To put it plainly, Hubert's Lemonade tastes like... America.

Hubert's Lemonade is unlike any other "mass produced" lemonade I've tasted. It is tart and lacks the sugary sweetness that every other drink maker relies on to peddle their goods. The freshness is unequalled and if I didn't pour it from the bottle myself I would have sworn that my wife spend the morning squeezing countless lemons just for me.

As a matter of fact, this is an easy way for a wife or husband to impress their spouse. Come to think of it, this could be a commercial for Hubert's Lemonade. Picture the husband out mowing the lawn in the scorching summer heat while the wife relaxes on the couch. As the husband puts away the lawn mower the wife jumps up and takes out several bottles of Hubert's Lemonade and pours them into a glass picture filled with ice and lemon slices. The husband walks in drenched in sweat as the wife pours him a tall glass of refreshing lemonade. The husband smiles in approval, takes a drink and says, "I'm a lucky man." The wife smiles proudly and says to herself, "thanks Hubert's Lemonade."

Hubert's Lemonade... Duh, Winning!
