Morning Star Farms Meatless Patties

So, Being a Buzz Agent, I got into a campaign to try some food! I received my coupon for a free box and promptly lost in the move to my new house. So I did PAY for this just so I could follow through with the campaign. That is how dedicated of a Buzz Agent I am!

They can be a bit dry if you pan fry them, grilling them helps them taste better, but if you want moisture, it's almost better to boil them in shallow water.

They have the texture of meat, but taste nothing like meat.

They are very flavorful and not at all like the cardboard tasting meatless burgers of days gone by. They taste great with cheese and tomato.

Being meatless, I can't say that means they are healthy. It is still processed food after all. They are great though for a quick and easy meal.

I suggest you at least give them a try. One box has 4 patties in it. It's not too expensive to just buy one box to try.

If you've tried them leave me a comment with your opinions!

Hiding In Sunshine Book Review

This book isn't really a thriller. Fast paced it is not. It is hard to feel sorry for family that has to go into hiding, while they whine (externally or internally) about losing their first class life for a quiet, internet free middle class life. They spend 11 years in (terror) but do nothing about it but complain for the majority of the book.

I read it hoping that it would pick up, but found that the book is one long rant. A rant against the government. A rant against internet privacy rights. I found it like trudging through tar laden mud. I only kept picking up the book in hopes that something excited would happen, only to put it down again of boredom and disappointment.

The Father Daughter writing team was a great selling point. However it feels as if the book was written with the authors switching off on writing chapters. Every other chapter (almost) was pleasant to read, but then the next would be boring and hard to get through. I suspect the Daughter has the better and less rant worthy writing skills. If this is the case, she needs to write books without her father. Truly boring and unlikable characters with the exception of the oldest Daughter.
