Dollar Tree Dude Lit: Mail Call by R: Lee Ermey

We enjoy lots and lots of books from our local Dollar Tree stores.  My most recent addition is Mail Call by R. Lee Ermey.  It brings the attitude and energy of the popular Mail Call television series to the world of literature.  The famed former Marine Corps Drill Instructor answers questions about current and historical military equipment and weapons.  In a very readable format.  It's fun reading for dudes!

If you can't find it in Dollar Tree, you may be able to get it used off of Amazon for as little as 1 cent plus shipping.

Appetizers at Target

If you are looking for good appetizers to eat while watching football, check out the appetizers at Target.  They have an excellent selection of name brand and house brand appetizers.

We've tried name brand appetizers like P.F. Changs Mini Egg Rolls and Cream Cheese dumplings and Auntie Anne's Pretzel Nuggets.  They were all excellent.
We were also pleased with Archer Farms Chicken Poblano Firecrackers. 



However, we were disappointed by Market Pantry cheddar jalapeno poppers.  We thought they were a tad too bready and didn't bring enough heat.  Of course, we ate them.


When you realize how good these home heat and eat versions can be, you can save quite a bit by staying away from the sports bars.
