Sesmark Rice Thins and Garden Veggie Cream Cheese

This past weekend, while at the laundry mat, I got hungry for a snack and the girls and I went over to the grocery store next to us and I saw these rice thins snack crackers for 50 cents a piece.  There were 64 crackers in the package, 16 crackers per serving and 4 servings in package.  They are gluten free, made of rice, and sesame flavored.  I was extremely skeptical but since they were only 50 cents I decided to try them.  If I didn't like them I wasn't out alot of money.  I bought a small container of garden veggie cream cheese for a spread.  

 
As you can see, one lane is gone.  From the first bite I didn't know if I liked these things or not.  They crunch like hard crackers, taste like sesame seeds with a hint of salt.  Each bite I go back and forth between "I don't like this" to "These aren't that bad".  Every time I think of eating more I tell myself they don't look good, and as I eat them I don't know how many more I can eat and when I put them down I think, "Those were pretty good!".  I have never had an experience with food like this.  Men, maybe, not food.  LOL.

I will continue to eat them and they have been my mid morning snack all week.  I am not sure if I will buy them again given the opportunity but I might.

So, today is Father's Day! Happy father's day to all the fathers out there. We spent the day with Grandpa Dave and his family. Chicken wings, salad, corn on the cob, watermelon, chocolate cake and ice cream! Great day, and it ended with a thunderstorm. I love thunderstorms! Finished two math tests today. Didnt do so great on them, but at least they are finished, and that ends week two in this block of classes. We also said happy birthday to Amber today. Hence the chocolate cake and ice cream. I found a cool website today, couponclippers.com. You pay a few cents for a .50 or 1.00 off coupons and they mail them to you. Awesome stuff! Saw the new "The Next Foodnetwork Star" on the TV. I am actually watching it as I type. So who won the challenge? And who is going home?
