I remember 30 years or so ago that Baskin-Robbins used to make a “Grape Ice” flavor, I remember it as grape ice cream with little chunks of ice in it…

Grape flavored ice cream — what an idea! That sounds *WONDERFUL* to me!

I went to Costco last Friday and was happy to pick up Oxiclean too. Besides getting the clothes cleaner, I find it good to use to help disinfect the shared washers like at a laundromat or laundry room, because you can’t use bleach in the colored clothes load. I also picked up SmartWater. I read really good things about it and can’t wait to put it to the test on the tennis court. Lastly, I was super excited about a new Stila complexion set that I did not hesitate to grab. It left me smiling the rest of the weekend. In case there are other cosmetic junkies out there, the set includes all full size: oil-free tinted moisturizer SPF30, sheer pressed powder (the compact is refillable), illuminating finishing powder, and a #24a powder brush. You have 2 choices: “light” or “medium” set. All of those goodies for only $16-17 (don’t remember); the tinted moisturizer alone retails for $36.

I love grape-flavored anything, but not so much real grapes. The other day I was just thinking…why is there no grape ice cream?

Tiff – it’s funny you mention Rudy’s because they are my yardstick for the perfect breakfast taco/burrito too! I almost mentioned them in my post but figured most of my readers aren’t from Austin and would not get the reference. I haven’t found any alternative to the Rudy’s breakfast tacos; it’s that delicious bacon, you just don’t get that in a prepared product I guess. I mean, they could do it but for some reason they don’t.

I’ll have to try the bagel idea. I’ve also thought of just making my own and freezing them in the hopes that that would work too.

The coupon books are sent out in the mail to the main member on the account. If you haven’t received yours, and you’ve been a member for more than 2 months, you should check with the Membership desk at your local Costco to make sure that your mailing address is correct and that you’re membership account is setup to receive this type of mail from Costco (on the “PMO” sub-screen in your membership file).

I can’t thank you enough for the reviews. Being from TX (Austin to be exact, like you) I understand the love for breakfast tacos/burritos. How I wish I could find a good frozen equivalent to the Rudy’s breakfast taco, so I don’t have to waste time stopping there. Instead of buying these burritos however, I will try some other alternatives. Lately the alternatives have been costco bagels with eggs and read-cooked bacon and cheese – they have been a great fill-in but ultimately, I would have a breakfast burrito/taco every day if I could. Hopefully a new brand of breakfast will burrito will show up and you can tell us how that is
